[Mike Boehm]

You've had a lot more productive golf year than I have.  

#13 is #1 at Shepherd's Hollow

#23 is #14 at Tobacco Road

#33 is #12 at Oakland Hills CC - South

[Mark Saltzman]

Mike, you got 13 and 33.  23 is not at Tobacco Road.  I do see the similarity though.

[Greg Chambers]

Pic 3 is #11 at CommonGround.  Pic 18 is Colorado Golf Club, though I'm not sure which hole it is.  Pic 36 looks like an Engh green and looks like it's on the Front Range, but I know it's not Fossil Trace or Sanctuary so my guess would be Pradera.

[Brad Tufts]

3.  #11? at Commonground

8.  #11 at Shooting Star

9.  Tumble Creek?

10.  Wine Valley?

18.  #18 at Colorado GC

23.  Tetherow?

26.  #9 at Salt Lake CCC

27.  #5 at the Horse Course @ The Prairie Club

36.  Pradera?

[Jeff Doerr]

#10 is Hole 17 I think at Wine Valley.
#25 is Hole 1 at Palouse Ridge at WSU

[Sven Nilsen]

I agree on #10.

Is #8 the 11th at Shooting Star?

[Mark Saltzman]

Every guess has been right thus far except for two wrong guesses at #23.

And nobody has taken a stab at any of the Canadian courses.  I think it's time you guys came up north for a little trip!

[Andy Troeger]

#1 is 3 Creek Ranch. Maybe #16?

#11 is Willow Creek. Used to be #17, but I think they've switched nines so I'm assuming its now #8?

#23 is Gozzer Ranch #14

#30 looks like a Jim Engh hole but I can't place it.

2.     CC of Buffalo  #12

15.     Orchard Lake ?

[Ronald Montesano]

#2 is #12 at Country Club of Buffalo, the "other" volcano hole, according to Ron Whitten

[Mark Saltzman]

Andy, #30 is an Engh design.

Mark, 15 is Orchard Lake.  I didn't think anyone would get that one.  Have you played there? I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have.

[Garland Bayley]

#12 is Elkhorn at Sun Valley? Don't know what hole, it's been 30 years.

[John Kirk]

Mr. Saltzman is quite prolific.  Would you agree?  Damn, dude.

[Mark Saltzman]

Garland, nope.

John, yep.

[Ronald Montesano]

I'm disappointed that there are no shots from Crag Burn or Harvest Hill.

[Cristian]

No. 17 is the 5th at El Saler.

[Peter Ferlicca]

Man I was hoping I could get a couple of these since I know he travel in the Pac Northwest, but sheeeesssshhhh, that is a lot of different golf courses.  The only one I can help on is #9

Which is Tumble Creek, Tee shot on #4, the best par 5 on the course. 

[Kalen Braley]

Mark,

I think I know a few of these:

#9 Tumble Creek - Par 5 4th Hole
#21 Circling Raven - Par 4 11th Hole
#28 Victory Ranch - Not sure which holes
#32 GlenWild - #7
#35 Kingsely???

[Mark Saltzman]

Peter, I didn't post too many PNW courses.  I figured identifying a course like Chambers wouldn't be much of a challenge.

Kalen, yep on 9, 21, 28 (one of my favorite pictures).

No on 32 and 35, but you have the right state on each.

[Kalen Braley]

Hmmm,

Is #32 at Promontory Ranch - Pete Dye Course?  Coulda swore that was Glenwild

#35 is that course way north...with the big rock outcroppings all over it. GreyWalls?

[Mark Saltzman]

Yeah it's Promontory Dye (one of my favorite Dyes I have played).  And the other is not Greywalls.

[Kalen Braley]

Yeah it's Promontory Dye (one of my favorite Dyes I have played).  And the other is not Greywalls.

Funny I mis-identified it...I've played Prom Dye, not Glenwild.

I'm going to say thats a view from behind 6 green, the short par 4.

[Kalen Braley]

P.S.  That 5th picture looks very similar to the 5th tee at Idaho Club, even though I know its not.   I'm kinda bummed you didn't get one from that course in this mob of pics.

Thanks for the activity though, I love racking my brain on these things! 

[Mark Saltzman]

Kalen,

when you guys get done with this one I'm happy to post another one.  Actually, I didn't post a few courses because I thought, "well, Kalen will get that in one second, so no point.  I want a challenge for these guys."

And I'm surprised at a couple that no one has got yet. There are three Donald Ross courses, an AWT and a Park Jr. that remain unnamed. And 14 is listed in the courses by country section.
