Although Kalen maybe right on one of them or he might not be ...

[Bill_McBride]

#4 Tokatee fifth hole

[Kalen Braley]

Mike,

I'll amend my answer to be more specific.

#3 is Poopy Hills.

[PThomas]

is 4 a par 3 at Olympic Lake?

[Kalen Braley]

#4 looks like it could be at Boulder Creek in the Santa Cruz Mtns.

[Evan Fleisher]

#6 - The pre-cursor to "Don't worry, he's F#@%'d"

[Tom Huckaby]

I will only answer on those which Mike has not already shown and told me about....

Kalen is correct re #3 - it's Poppy Hills, #8.

#6 is the putting green outside the conference area, taken during a late night of carousing during The King's Putter at... Stevinson Ranch.

#1 is Cinnabar Hills, Lake Nine, #2 - great par three hole - this is taken from behind the green.

#2 I can't place... 4 and 5 he told me about and will not reveal as it's Mike's game!

TH

[Evan Fleisher]

Oh, and the course?

Stevinson Ranch...more specifically a small practice green near the bungalows and their clubhouse where much Masters viewing occurred.

[Tom Huckaby]

Evan - we crossed twice!

But yep, that's #6.   That was a really fun time....

 

[Kalen Braley]

Further guesses for #2.

Sharon Heights or Penisula G&CC

[Shane Wright]

is #5 Bandon?

if not I vote Prairie Dunes

[Mike Benham]

Further guesses for #2.

Sharon Heights or Penisula G&CC

Come on, pick one or the other!  And the hole # ...

[Kalen Braley]

I'll have to go with Sharon Heights because the bunkering looks MacK'ish and Jack Flemming was a protege of sorts of his IIRC.

I've never played the course though so wouldn't have a clue on the hole #.

(It was the homes on the hill that led me to think Penisula, because while I haven't played that one either, I have driven by several times) 

[Kalen Braley]

After further aerial review, I'm going to have to change back to Penisula Golf and country club.

Once again, not sure of the hole #, but its the one right next to the clubhouse and pool. 

[David Stamm]

#2 sure looks like La Costa....

[SPDB]

Pretty sure #2 is the 7th at Peninsula G&CC.

[Mike Benham]

#1 i, as Huckaby correctly guessed, the 2nd hole at Cinnabar Hills - the Lake 9, in south San Jose.  This hole is a challenging par-3 with the green sloping from front to back.  The photo is taken from behind the green with the tee box out of the photo on the right. 

#2 is the 7th at Peninsula G&CC in San Mateo, CA.  and is Donald Ross' only course west of the Rockies.  Ron Forse completed a restoration in 2003.  Peninsula Re-opens

#3 is from the tee box on the 8th hole at Poppy Hills.  The hole bends to the right around the bunker to an elevated green.

#6 is from the 2005 Kings Putter at Stevinson Ranch in the San Joaquin Valley of California.

[Kalen Braley]

Mike,

#4 isn't Boulder Creek then.  Am I in the right state?

Is #5 at that certain course in Oregon that doesn't officially exist? 

[Mike Benham]

Mike,

#4 isn't Boulder Creek then.  Am I in the right state?

Is #5 at that certain course in Oregon that doesn't officially exist? 

#4 is not Boulder Creek but it is in California ... barely

#5 is not in Oregon ... does  gorse only grow in the Oregon?

[Tom Huckaby]

#1 is in fact, the 2nd hole at Cinnabar Hills - the Lake 9, in south San Jose.  This hole is a challenging par-3 with the green sloping from front to back.  The photo is taken from behind the green with the tee box out of the photo on the right. 

Isn't that exactly what I said above?  I got 6 right also....

TH, begging for credit. 

[Mike Benham]

TH, begging for credit. 

Ok, you get credit for #6 also ...

But then again, you get blame, much like Nick Faldo, for captaining the good guys to a loss and have the shame of handing the Putter to Jeff Fortson ...
