American Clubhouses--Photo Quiz (w/ answers)

[Peter_Herreid]

..Well, Dr. Bill (if I'm interpreting his acronyms correctly) has nailed most of these, but for what it's worth...

#1---Here is a wide view of the clubhouse and the marvelous swath of green/tee height cut encompassing the #9 green, #10 tee and #18 green.  The course was done by one of the GCA faves, and is under-visited and under-studied by us, in general...  Likely very much on-the-radar if located in a metro Northeast area..


#2--The venerable Garden City GC.  I assume that this pond is NOT a source of controversy at the club

#3--Indeed, the Myopia Hunt Club.  Anyone who wishes to see this in person may do so on 10/10/2006.  Don't miss it sometime during your lifetime as a GCA-student...

#4--Mr. Murratt knows this view well...The porch is one of the more pleasant places to enjoy a crisp fall afternoon one could ever want...


#5--The Meadow Club--love the way this reflects the area around the club..

#6--At Mr. Morrison's request, the "Valley" of Huntingdon Valley

#7--As a nod to Bryon Nelson, this is Inverness Golf Club

#8--I think several of you know this one, but since no one has "spoiled" it...Ross course, with several previous and (I think) on-going revisions.  Brutal #1 hole and one of the more severe false-fronts on #11 one could hope to handle.  This is a pan-back of the previous shot (#9)


#9--Some folks may prefer this view from the club, when properly populated on a warm summer's afternoon...


#10--This pan-back of (roughly) the same angle should help out...


#11--Dr. Bill has it, but here is (after #2) perhaps the other best-known hole on the course..


#12--This hole is iconic, both for the club and the "Society", topical because of some of the sniping today on GCA on one thread...


#13--Not necessary!

Hope this helps, and that this has been fun...

So, Robert has slotted in a few more, and I think only #1 remains unaccounted for...

#1 - CC of Scranton?

[Peter_Herreid]

#1--Blue Mound CC (2 pix), from the 9th green and 10th fairway.  Great templates holes from Raynor, some exceeding their forefathers, in my opinion...Must see

#2--Garden City GC, from the 18th tee

#3--Myopia Hunt Club, from the 16th tee

#4--The Orchards (South Hadley, MA--2 pix), with the second shot a view down the 9th hole from the porch in October

#5--The Meadow Club, from behind the 9th green

#6--Huntingdon Valley, from the 6th tee of the C Nine, IIRC...

#7--Inverness Club, from the 10th fairway, looking over the cool 18th greensite...

#8--Plainfield CC (2 pix), from beside the 9th green and from further down the 9th fairway

#9--the Maidstone Club (2 pix), from the 1st fairway, and looking over the oceanside Beach Club

#10--Prairie Dunes (2 pix), from beside the 10th tee and from behind the 10th green

#11--Somerset Hills (2 pix), from in front of the 18th green and looking down at the 15th greensite...

#12--Wannamosiett (2 pix), from front left of the 9th green, and of the 3rd hole

#13--NGLA, from the 17th tee box

#9--Jeld-Wen!!!

Tut, tut, my boy!  Your helicopter-landing, yacht-mooring and Beach Club privileges are hereby revoked!

Darn.  I was getting spoiled by it anyways....

Scott -
Jeld Wen??? Was that a joke? We are not amused.  

Have never been to TMC and had never seen pics of the clubhouse.

From my one time at The Reserve Vineyards outside Portland
(home of the Senior Major Jeld-Wen Tradition) in 2000, that
pic reminded me a lot of the clubhouse there.  Looking it over
more, I knew there weren't any tees in that spot in relation
to TRV's clubhouse, not to mentions the vines....

I also knew that Peter is from the NW w/a club affiliation not
far from TRV (shown in his #2 thread), so a pic not far away wasn't a stretch....
