It’s back!
Twenty years later Tatra Press has kindly allowed me to bring back Grounds For Golf now that golf architecture is of more interest to the masses. A new Introduction looks at what’s driven the interest growth and two new chapters I had a blast adding (plus a few edits to keep things up-to-date).
The Amazon purchase page for the book arriving June 15, 2026.

Read MorePossible Future Mike Keiser Projects: Ireland, Cabo, Streamsong
/The star developer of minimalist projects talked to Global Golf Post's Steve Eubanks about a wide range of topics. While his concerns for Gil Hanse's reputation taking a hit because of Rio's Olympic design delays stood out (as did criticism of the green designs of Tom Doak and David McLay Kidd), the only thing most care about is where Keiser hopes to build going forward after his success at Bandon Dunes and guiding hand in Cabot Links and Barnbougle Dunes.
Of interest is the "1-in-50 chance" project at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas where Tiger is currently building the second course. Keiser also mentions two sites in Ireland, Bushmill Dunes in Northern Ireland and a site 30 minutes from Killarney in Ireland.
And in last week's Golf World, Ron Whitten looked at the history of the Lido hole and contest and talked to Keiser, who revealed that he has a proposal in to the developers of Streamsong to re-create the Lido at that popular development.
