How knowledgeable are you guys and gals. Anyone care to identify the golf course or architect?

Looks like too big a body of water for either of those locations.  ;)

In other words, NO.

Jim,

No, but there may be a Spanish influence.

Hawaii but probably not as I see red soil and no tropical plants

Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

Hard to forget that hole, it's a tough one.  I'm sure I never mastered it.

Liked the hole and the course though.

I wouldn't call the surroundings a moat.  Just a nasty swale you have to avoid.
