Which hole is this? 2

As the first one took you so little time, I'll give you no hint other than it is not in the British Isles. Plenty of choice, then!

Won't give it away too quickly but I think its the second hole on an Alister MacKenzie  course of Royal patronage.

And that is the tee in the bottom right hand corner. James, I think that's too helpful. On how many Royal courses did MacKenzie work?

Mark,

Sorry about that! I'll try not to be too keen next time ::)

Cheers,

Mike Clayton has the gig at this course now, which will see it back to its 'glory' days. Although, first he probably has to undo a certain amount of Peter Thomson.

Is that a trolley line along the bottom of the picture. Played it 0 years ago, nearly to the day.

Royal Adelaide of course!
Just drove past there yesterday in fact. Not much of Mackenzie in this hole. Its not a trolley line but a passenger train line. There used to be a stop at the clubhouse, convenient for the toffs coming out from the city.

Royal Melbourne, Royal Adelaide, Royal Sydney, Royal Queensland, Duff House Royal, Royal Troon (Portland), Royal County Down (Ladies Course), Royal Eastbourne, Royal St George's.
