Jon,
     Pretty sure the 3rd pick of yours is #12 at The Downs and the 4th is like #7 or #8 at Forest Dunes?

There have been lots of threads with great pictures, but this thread may be #1.  Some of these pics are really terrific.

Sorry but I couldn't help myself ;D  Grass sure will grow better though.  That's the green to the left and the shade you see used to cover the right half of the green--not anymore!

Phil, you suck!  I was so jacked that I had played all of Adam's trees.  We laughed our buttoxen off at Unter der linden.  However, I don't think that any of the trees were from Meadows Valley...The first pic is hole 9 at River, the second is hole 16 at River and ... oh, wait, the third pic is hole 14 at Meadows...does it matter that he stole all the images from the Kohler site?
Ronald- This is for everyone too, but the original course was called the River-Valley. So that last picture is from the Valley nine, and was the original 14th hole. I believe it's name is Nature's Course.
The Meadow nine was built later, and, so was the new nine that became the middle of the current River course. 5-13.

This newer, smaller tree was growing out of the trunk of a tree that feel victim to a lightning strike at Loomis Trail in Washington.

Ari Techner needs to post some pics from Eugene because they are the biggest trees I have ever seen on a golf course. Most importantly Hakeem !!!!!!

Not a fan here of plants growing higher than 12 to 20" on any golf course.....

But, these are very impressive pictures.  Thanks!!!

Chip,

After nearly 40 years of playing golf, this long par three at "The Pit" in NC still sticks in my mind as the absolutely narrowest golf hole I've ever seen.





If memory serves, it plays about 215 from this tee, but even when I was young and foolish I believe I took a 7-iron from the tee just to try and keep the ball in play.   I don't believe I succeeded.

This from Doak's St. Andrews Beach course.
Well away from lines of play, and almost tortured by the winds off Bass Strait.
