Summary: "The Golf Course Mystery" by Chester K. Steele is a detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The book opens with a serene day at the Maraposa Golf Club, setting the stage for a sudden turn of events as a champion golfer, Horace Carwell, collapses and dies after securing a victory.
