Exceedingly nice job, Brian. 

Is Picture 10 the only one remaining?  That has to be Ross.  I'm thinking Franklin Hills, but I can't place those bunkers at FHCC.  (Those houses beyond the property line look vaguely familiar, but again I don't think they are any of the houses on Fairway Drive along the back side.) 
And, apart from the the contour on the right side, it looks vaguely like #3 at Oakland Hills. 
I don't think it is Barton Hills. 
Here's another guess:  One of the front-nine holes at the lovely DGC South Course, which has mercifully been allowed to retain its Ross character even as they futzed with the North.  Because it does look a bit like one of those greens that was allowed to get too small with mowing...
All of them Ross...
{oops, correction -- I see that my best guess, one of the South Course greens at DGC, was already shot down.  Now, I am obsessed.  i have to get it.}

Thanks....#10 & #14 are the only ones remaining.  Some hints...#10 is not a Ross.  It is a great country club in the southwest portion of the state.  #14 is a Mike Devries redo and my home course.

That generous clue tells me that #14 is Walnut Hills, which is surely a hidden gem of Michigan on the order of Franklin Hills, and is a gaping hole in my Michigan resume.

Could #10 be Pointe O' Woods?  I've been there, but something about that hole, or that particular angle has me stumped.  Or is it Blythefield?  It doesn't look like Blythfield, but at this point I am expecting to be embarassed...

Pretty sure #10 is not Point O'Woods--the bunkering is not right. Its similar in some ways, but I've played POW 10+ times and I don't recall any holes with that configuration.

That said, no clue what it could be. I'm guessing its in Grand Haven or Muskegon perhaps as I think there are hidden gems in that area, but I've never played any of them and don't even know what the courses are called for sure.
