Guess the Course (pics)
« on: September 14, 2008, 07:44:09 PM »
I've got a few pictures from courses I've played, some well known, others not.  For the more commonly known courses I've provided somewhat obscure photographs.  For those that aren't guessed, I'll post a more revealing picture within the next couple days.  Hope it's entertaining.

1.

2. *Hint* -- You can almost see one of the other pictured courses in these two photographs.
*Hint #2* -- This course is located in Ireland.


3.

4.  *Hint* -- This is a 9-hole course on the western coast of Ireland.  Fairways are marked by white stones, as the sheep mow all the grass on the property.



5.

6.

7.

8.


9.

10.

11.

12.


13.



14.

15.

16.



17.


18.  *Hint* -- In the final photograph, look at the tee marker for a hint at the course's name.

1. Narin & Portnoo Golf Club - hole # ??
2. Killorglin Golf Club
3. Dooks Golf Links - hole # ??
4. Achill Golf Club
5. Carne Golf Links - hole #11

Yep, 9 is at Northstar.  What a funny course, the front is wiiiide open, and the back is as closed as you can get.  (they switch the front and back every few weeks it seems so nobody really knows which is which)

No. 5 looks like 11th green at Carne, Ireland

No. 14, 15 or 16th tee Enniscrone, Ireland

5 is Carne, and I'm pretty sure you're correct on the hole, but I can't quite recall.  I'd thought it was the 14th, but after looking at pics online, I think you're right.

14 is Enniscrone, but it's the 17th

8 Looks like Couer D' Alene muni in Idaho.

Also recognized the other bay area courses but have been guessed.

Kalen, nope, but you're within 100 miles.

Patrick, there's something about that picture that catches my attention every time...
