Incidentally, this is a little easier than intended if you click on the link... So maybe try not to...

I don't know ANY of them, but can't wait to get the Buda underway next week!   Starting with Walton Heath, it will be a feast of heather, with a spice of Rye and Littlestone over the weekend. 

Nice photos, Ally!

Sean is right with all three of his... I'll see if anyone can get the hole at Woking before numbering it though...

Judging by the sand colour, heather and position, Woking's photo must be #5 or 8. If forced to guess, I go with #5.

Sean, I was just musing about how easily that photo could be mistaken for 5... The right answer is 8....

Three ticks to Sean so far...

I'm kicking off early with 36 at Alwoodley tomorrow.  Then Berkhamsted, West Hill, Hankley and Liphook. 

Thanks, Ally, for the heathland teaser.  Is C the 6th at Swinley?

But calling C as Huntercombe is quite interesting and revealing, though, no?

C, 12 at Sunningdale Old?
D, got a NewZealand feel about it?
F, 11 at Berkshire Red?

Must playmore heathland golf!!!

Aside from Adam (whom I suspect knew a few), we are now Sean with 3 and James with 3... Although D was a wrong guess...

A: Hankley Common 11th
B: St.Goerge's Hill 10th
C: Sunningdale Old 12th
D: Woking 8th
E: Walton Heath (Hole ???)
F: Berkshire Red 11th
G: ???
H: Worplesdon 8th
I: ???

EDIT: I feel violated... My question marks have turned in to some sort of round faced yellow thing...

I feel pretty silly now for not spotting F, particularly with that rather lunatic fairway cut, which I think is a relatively recent (last few years) change.

I guess that is the beauty of checking the website on my iPhone... A tendency to miss what's going on  ::)

Adam, yes, that was an interesting call by Bob though I haven't a clue which hole at Sunny it is.

Would C be  the par 4 on Sunny Old just after the long par three on the inward nine? 14th or 15th?

The Sunningdale hole is the famous 12th "bottle" hole....

The Walton Heath hole is the 11th on the New course...

G is the 3rd hole at West Hill
I is the 13th hole at Queenwood which most have probably not seen...

I like the Hankley photo best... Here's another two (the 7th):
