Hard to know exactly which two they chose in Montreal, but one of the stars (the furthest left one) is for sure Royal Montreal's second location. Montreal's golf scene really began to pop in the 1920s, so I'm a bit stuck on what the other big-name there would be, especially with the location in the middle of the island.

New  London CT/The Griswold: Shennecossett, Ross, 1916.

Two speculations in the Hartford CT area:

1. Above HA: Manchester CC, Bendelow, 1917.

2. Below HA: NLE.
