Guess That USA Golf Hole_January 2014 Edition (Extra Holes! Number 26)

[Ronald Montesano]

Here's another "Guess That Hole Stateside" endeavor. Hopefully some of you have played these goat tracks and a sampling of those, feign interest enough to submit nominations for these currently-anonymous parcels. Here's your first challenge.

[Mark Saltzman]

2 at Arcadia Bluffs

[Ronald Montesano]

And it starts...

How to outwit Saltzman...perhaps with this one...

[BCowan]

not to get off subject, but i heard they are redoing 5 greens at Arcadia.  I have no desire to play there

Is this a course in Asheville,NC?

I would play Arcadia again. I like it a good bit. It is a beautiful location and is interesting from tee shot one to putt one hundred.

Is this a course in Asheville,NC?

It is not in North Carolina.

[Colin Sheehan]

Could that be Taconic?

[Ronald Montesano]

Colin Sheehan rings the bell cow...I love the angle...6th tee looking across and down #5 to #4 green.  All right, how about...

[Colin Sheehan]

Looks like one of the Forest Creek courses, the one that is supposed to be "linksy."

[Ronald Montesano]

Not in North Carolina...believe it or not, it's in Florida!

[Dan Boerger]

Boy ... I'm guessing Teugega??

[Ronald Montesano]

Teugega is in New York, which is often mistaken for Florida, so ... no.

[Ronald Montesano]

I'm going to keep things moving, so hole #3 is the 18th at Victoria Hills Golf Club in Deland, Florida. This is the tee shot view to a 554-yard par five, with a tidy and tucked green. This course is worth a play any time you are in the area. I would go back tomorrow. Website is http://www.victoriahillsgolf.com/index.php

Here's hole #4:

[Dan Boerger]

Ha ... passed right over the correct Taconic response!

[Ronald Montesano]

Now I understand. I do want to see Teugega this year, though.

[BCowan]

Course looks solid.  Do they allow walking?

[Ronald Montesano]

BCowan...Which hole/course?

#3 allows walking and has decent transitions from green to tee. #4 is in no way a walking course...built over wetlands with some major vertical movement and sizable transitions from green to tee.

[BCowan]

Victoria Hills

[Brad Tufts]

Lake of Isles, #11 on the North.  Boom!

[Ronald Montesano]

BCowan...it is a memorable course for the proper reasons.

Tufts...It takes a New Englander...Nice job.

Hole #5 looks like this:

[Mark Saltzman]

Longaberger Hole 8

[Ronald Montesano]

Saltzman gets the job done, on the course he recently purchased...

Moving along, we reach the final hole of the front six. Hole #6 bears a striking resemblance to this:

[Matt Bielawa]

Whistling Straits (Irish) #11

[Ronald Montesano]

New guy from Rochester rings the bell !!

Nice job, Matt.

Let's open the middle six with this nifty look:

[Ronald Montesano]

This would be the 2nd hole at Little Mountain Country Club in Concord, Ohio, near Cleveland.

Up next is this gem:

[Ronald Montesano]

Above you see the 7th on one of the three nines at Shawnee Country Club in Pennsylvania.

Moving right along, our 9th hole is
