Does anyone here have any old photos of Pine Valley they could post?  Any year or picture would be great. Thanks

What does it matter if the poor player can putt all the way from tee to green, provided that he has to zigzag so frequently that he takes six or seven putts to reach it?     --Alistair Mackenzie--

Michael Dugger,

Thanks for posting those photos, they're great.

I've long advocated restoring PV to the way it was in the 4th photo.

Michael,

It looks like a portion of the "pimple" in the 18th green is visible in one of your photos.

What year was that taken ?

Great courses look as good - or better - in black and white.

Thanks for posting these.  Stunning, really.

For those of you who don't know Alan was the assistant super at Pine Valley quite a few years back.
He would be a great person to ask questions if you have any.

Doesn't look like the alternate fairway is there on 17. Did we ever figure out what time period that went away?

These pics are incredible. I was fortunate enough  to work as an assistant superintendent there along with Alan. Alan, I agree that must be #11 on the one you were not too sure on. Looks like the now left hand green on #8 in the background.

Could it be #4 looking away from the clubhouse towards the first green?

Also, look at this last picture Bryan just posted...no DA on #10.

Doug,

Yeah, I wouldn't say I am confident, but the green just doesn't seem like #11 even though it's not ver clear...can't think of any other holes with that view in the distance of another green like this besides 11 and 4.

Hope you're well.

 ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8)


Really great stuff  someday all of the PV alums have to get together for a beer and some golf  ....let's start planning before I get too old


Pretty sure Mr. Sully is right about the green  it's almost surely #4 looking out from where the clubhouse is today  right out of "Charley's " window   the green is too big and flat for 11   also the bunker still exists on the left and you can see bflashes of #1 bunkering


first picture is also # 2 tee  not #1


I am totally in love with the last picture of # 6  but it doesn't give the right perspective  as the tee area and fairway are almost at the same elevation  today and for at least the last forty years.....could this have been an early tee  ?????    if so  they should immediately consider  rebuilding it as it is awesome.....   what do you guys think ??????



thanks Bruce for the plug     GO Eagles!

Thats what I thought as well. However, if the pimple is in the middle of the green, wouldn't that green be just enormous? I know that is a big green but its not THAT big.

Has the 14th (par 3) ever been more open than pictured above. On a website where we critique greatness, that would be my #1 critique.

I'm a little embarrassed on the first picture, I started to list the pictures by number and got distracted...... :-[ I fixed it

I can see how that picture could be 4 green looking from the proshop, but the bunkering left of the green, particularly the knob and the sand flash to the left looked to me like the bunkering to the left of 11 green while the bunkering to the right sort of lines up with the cart path intersection coming down from nine.

As for the DA, as far as I know (and legend has it!) it was created by a washout, they liked it and kept it.
