Perchance a Dream?
Andrew Harvie:
Whoever designed it and wherever it is, I'm BLOWN away by these photos. Great GCA'ing!
My initial thoughts are the green complexes show someone put a lot of thought into them - some rolls, rollicks, and ridges, but there seems to be some unique pockets/tongues/pads that I think are under-utilized IMO. Awesome stuff. Will eagerly await where this is!

There are pictures of every green available I think. I need to dig further.
I’m struck, too, by the top lines and shapes of the bunkers. While the architects here are well regarded I’d imagine this represents some of their more sophisticated work in this category.
These architects were probably the most victimized by the Great Depression in this region, with this golf course the only one of six by them surviving beyond the 1950s.

S & V?

Appears decidedly appealing.
Thanks for posting.

Flattened by the photo this is the 8th hole.
The tee shot is set at an angle to fairway and look at how the green is extended and perched into the man-made green/bunker complex.
One element of the routing is how it took advantage of the dominant hill on the north side of the site. The 5th hole played along the base of the hill before turning nearly 90 degrees and climbing to the top (the 6th hole is shown in the photos). The 7th and 8th played along the base of the hill again, then the 9th (also photoed) steadily climbed 80' back to the top. The 10th (back corner mounded green) descened while the 11th (Elephant Ears) played along the base in the opposite direction of the 8th.
The 12th then took the parallel route of the approach of the 5th to the top off the hill off the tee before making a left turn to the greensite.
