Golf Architecture in America: Its Strategy and Construction Review
It is difficult to assign any true rating to this book, as its value goes beyond measure. It is a treasure trove of information on golf strategy, and well as insight into construction which anyone even remotely interested in golf architecture will benifit from reading.
Alistair Mackenzie wrote that most golfers know whether they like or dislike a hole, but not why. Thomas goes a long way to explaining the why. Variety, equity, challenge: the things we hope to find on every course.
Even if you are simply a fan of the Riviera CC, site of the LA (Nissan) Open every year, reading this book will help illuminate why this course is what it is.

Golf Architecture in America - Hurley9192 - Dallas, TX USA
This book is a must for all golf historians and want-to-be golf course architects. It gives you in depth insight on how to build a strategic and rewarding golf course. George C. Thomas has the courses to back it up as well. A perfect example is The Riviera Country Club, which I have worked at and played many times. It is the epitomy of a strategic course that this book exemplifies.
