#35 is Moonbrook CC in Jamestown.  Number 17, I believe.

HINT HOLE # 36: This one surprised me, until I considered the angle from which I shot the picture. Donald Ross, recently restored by Team Ron Forse, but which hole?

Is this picture pre- or post- restoration?

The trees were confusing me, because it looks like a property edge.  However, I can't find that bunker pattern anywhere near course boundaries.

My best guess is that you shot this from the 4th fairway towards the 5th green and picks up a FW and greenside bunker.  However, my recollection of the ridge overlooking the Volcano hole was that it was much cleaner (unless the trees are farther off in the background than they appear).

Pre-Restoration, but to my knowledge, it would look the same today.

The trees were confusing me, because it looks like a property edge.  However, I can't find that bunker pattern anywhere near course boundaries.

Then it's not a property edge...

My best guess is that you shot this from the 4th fairway towards the 5th green and picks up a FW and greenside bunker.  However, my recollection of the ridge overlooking the Volcano hole was that it was much cleaner (unless the trees are farther off in the background than they appear).

It is the 5th hole fairway bunker in the foreground, the greenside bunkers in the interim and the green and beyond in the background.

The trees are farther off in the background. Some separate the 6th tee from the 7th fairway, while others are farther still.

You actually see none of the 6th (Volcano) hole in this image.
