Is #2 South of San Jose.... I am trying to see if I have it correct, and if I do I don't want to completely give it away. I will refrain from answering on the others.

Man these all look familiar - all except 4 that is.

I think 1 is Lincoln Park - not sure what hole.
My guess for 2 is Cordevalle.
3 I am with Kalen - DeLaveaga
4 no clue
5 Mike game me off-line so I shall not ruin it...

2.  No ...
3.  What hole?

#1 - Lincoln Park?  No way, that course is in way too good of condition to be LP.  There are no weeds, transients about, soggy mud patched, trees look healthy, etc.   ;D

#5 - Mike already confirmed this is HMB-Ocean

I suck.

13 at DeLaveaga.

It's gonna kill me to miss the others as there is a very high probability I have played each. But my mind is in Colorado and Nebraska these days.

Another guess:

#2 San Juan Oaks
#4 Must be in sierreas with snow - Pinecrest?

Mike's odd angles are making this tricky.  #2 sure doesn't look like any San Juan Oaks hole to me - and I just played there a few months ago!  But it wouldn't surprise me if that was the right answer.

Note the bastard wouldn't include the Santa Teresa pic I gave him because it wasn't high enough quality and had people in it.  Purist snob.  I really wanted to see if anyone would get that.

I am having a hard time picturing #3 as DeLaveaga... Dogleg left with a second shot up hill. All I can think of is either 10 or 18. What about Stonetree for #2?

Still wondering if #1 is SFGC.....looks like that same area and plenty hilly.  If not my only other guess on #1 would be Presidio in San Fran.  It could also be Lake Merced CC

3 is #13 Delaveaga - Mike confirmed.  It's an odd angle looking back but not straight back... thus no surprise it's hard to place.  Short par 4, tee shot either laid up to top of hill or driven to bottom, then 2nd to a green on a shelf.

#1 sure doesn't scream SFGC to me... just doesn't look right.... I'm thinking more Presidio.  But hell I thought it was Lincoln Park so what do I know?

#1 definitely is not SFGC and I am pretty sure it isn't Merced. I can't think of any others besides Presidio either.

A stab at #4:

Seeing how it looks unfinished, I'm going to guess Clear Creek in Taho by C&C.

#1 not SFGC and #2 not SJO

(I don't know the answers, just what they ain't)

#2 is Cinnabar Hills, Canyon nine #4.  Very weird angle... taken from cart path.

I agree with Scott, #1 is not SFGC or Presidio or anything within the City and County of San Francisco.

#2 is not SJO but that is a good guess although it is going in the wrong geographical direction of the first guess.

And #4 is a trick question ... so no to Kalen's stab but geographically close ...


Edit for TH - Very good guess but wrong ... remarkably close but still wrong ...

I was just gonna say Bayonet also for #1 - Robert beat me to it.

Re 2, I am totally stumped and yes it will piss me off when this is revealed.

 ;D

But time for a wild guess.... Callippe Preserve?
