Google Maps indicates that all but a couple holes of Rockrimmon Country Club are in New York. But the clubhouse is in CT, hence the Stamford address.

Brad-
When Wayne Levi was honing his game on the mini tours in the mid 70's he won a tournament at Aroostook Valley called the" Bicentennial Open".
I ran into him years back and asked him about Aroostook Valley and he had fond memories of both the event and the course.

Nice....the club's history page has news on that, as well as Sam Snead's visit to open the 2nd nine in 1960.

Didn't Lajitas Resort have a par 3 with a green in Mexico and a tee in the US? I think it was prior to the rebuild done after the Rio Grande flooded it.

The Olympic Club is located in both San Francisco and Daly City.  Daly City is also in San Mateo County and San Francisco is in San Francisco County.


It makes it a little messy when the US Open is there and all the politicians want to say hello in the program.

The Orchards Golf Club is located in both South Hadley, MA and Granby, MA. 


When I played there a few years ago, I noticed coolers halfway up the 12th hole.  One of my playing partners informed me that The Orchards doesn't have a liquor permit for Granby, only for South Hadley.
  You must drop your libations off at the 12th cooler. You then play 13 and 14 in Granby.  Once you return to the 15th tee in South Hadley you can retrieve your liquor!

I believe that Ansley/Settindown Creek in Roswell, GA is in both Fulton and Cherokee counties.  And it's a bigger deal than it sounds; the clubhouse was built in Fulton County a year or two after the course opened in a different location than the temporary clubhouse had been in order to get alcohol licenses that Cherokee didn't give at that time.

It not only changed the entrance to the club, but it caused the club to change the hole order pretty dramatically and to the overall detriment of the way the course plays.  It is a VERY good Bob Cupp design, and the club has hosted a lot of important tournaments, but it was a better course when the holes were played in the sequence that Cupp designed.


A.G. -  Can you fill-in some the the details re changes to the hole sequences? Is the current odd 18th a result of that?
