I agree with a previous poster on 11- It is #15 Merion (East) from the front tees.
13 is from Sand Hills I forget the hole #.

#38 is the 14th or 15th hole at Beacon Hall

« **Reply #28 on:** October 21, 2011, 01:06:28 PM »

#48 is National Pines - back 9, can't remeber the hole (and I played it last week)

« **Reply #29 on:** October 21, 2011, 01:07:54 PM »

19 is the 15th hole at Te Members Course at Aldarra

« **Reply #30 on:** October 21, 2011, 01:22:40 PM »

I believe #4 if the fourth hole at Atlanta Athletic Club

« **Reply #31 on:** October 21, 2011, 01:26:35 PM »

#4 - #17 Great Waters at Reynolds Plantation

#9 - #6 at The Gailes at Lakewood Shores

#31 - #16 at Grandfather Mountain G&CC

15 is the 13th hole at Torrey Pines South.

19 is the (15th?) at Aldarra

24 is Aviara ... not sure of the hole. Maybe #2?

« **Reply #33 on:** October 21, 2011, 01:29:32 PM »

13 is Wildhorse #14 or 15

14 is Sand Hills #12

Must be taken from the cart path approach view.

David, what's up with that?

No way to directly walk to #4 green, so I thought of the trail steps there, but the bunkering is wrong, so I missed on that.

5 - #18 Kingsley Club

16 - #2 Sebonack

23 - Inverness... not sure of hole #

« **Reply #36 on:** October 21, 2011, 02:19:23 PM »

#12 is familiar but I can't place it. The only state that fits is Michigan.
# 21 looks like Toronto skyline in the background

« **Reply #37 on:** October 21, 2011, 02:21:13 PM »

Mountain Lake Hole number is 8...
Torry Pines hole number is 13

« **Reply #38 on:** October 21, 2011, 02:30:49 PM »

No one has identified #12 yet? There are so many people who talk about the course here ...

The only unidentified one I recognized right away was from Hamilton GC (Ancaster). The bunkers are a bit different from twenty years ago, but I'm pretty sure that's the right place.

« **Reply #39 on:** October 21, 2011, 02:39:14 PM »

#12 - Crystal Downs #3 (edit: meant 4th)

is #14 SH #1 looking from the 6th green?

« **Reply #40 on:** October 21, 2011, 02:40:57 PM »

I had to satellite view Crystal Downs, which I played years ago on my first "GCA" trip, and # 12 is the 4th hole.

is #14 SH #1 looking from the 6th green? - Jim, nicely done. That's exactly right.

« **Reply #42 on:** October 21, 2011, 02:55:00 PM »

#22 is the 18th at Crag Burn

#35 is the 16th at the Prairie Club Dunes Course

« **Reply #43 on:** October 21, 2011, 03:27:19 PM »

#37 - 1st at Trump International - WPB

« **Reply #44 on:** October 21, 2011, 03:30:35 PM »

I'll help fill in the blanks on a few Canadian entries -

#21 is the 1st tee at the Walter Travis gem Lookout Point in Fonthill. That indeed is the Toronto skyline in the background. Mark, you were less than 20 minutes away and didn't call?!

#25 is the downhill tee shot into the valley holes at Glen Abbey - 11th tee

#31 is the par four 12th hole at Hamilton (3rd hole of the South nine)

#42 is the par three 3rd tee shot at Deerhurst Resort (McBroom)

Matt,

Sorry, I was in and out, on my way to catch a flight in Buffalo. Though, I think you may need to check your geography, especially since you are local(ish)... I'm fairly certain that is Niagara Falls' skyline in the distance.

You're right on all your guesses, by the way. Nicely done.

Also, have you played the other nearby Travis, Cherry Hill? I know very little about it and don't know anyone who has played it. If it is anything near as good as Lookout, it is on my priority list for 2012 (as is playing with you in St Kitts... sorry we didn't make that happen this year).

Ha - I guess I should have looked closer at that particular photo. Yes, that is the Skylon Tower in the background (Niagara Falls), not the CN Tower. That said, on a clear day, you can see all the way to Toronto from the 1st and 10th tees at Lookout.

Cherry Hill is very solid - pretty flat but great greens. Ian Andrew did a bunker restoration there a couple years ago and I haven't seen it since but I hear the work was excellent. It's worth the two hour trip from Toronto.

I thought it was a GCA requirement to call you on the way through. At least you bought me a beer when I did:)

Sean,

You came all the way from Washington state - I was ready to buy you dinner as well but you had to hit the road!
