Wonderful idea; here are a few:

Rye, a Doak favorite and one of the below-the-radar English links:

The ultimate GCA cult course, Painswick:

http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,11842.0.html

Maybe the best thread for Lawsonia pics, one of my favorites, but not comprehensive, as it lacks pics for the the back nine:

http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,23676.0.html

Some very good RJ Daley pics of the Langford/Moreau (designer/builder of Lawsonia among others) front nine at West Bend CC (WI), a terrific nine:

http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,31155.0.html

Some very good photos from Brian Sleeman, although not comprehensive, of Alison's Milwaukee CC, hosting this year's Mid-Am; a course that stays well below the radar of Midwestern Golden-Era classics:

Here is one I did for Crystal Downs. 

http://www.rsgcincinnati.com/Crystaldowns/crystaldowns.html

Disclaimers:
1.  There are a number of photos missing but it is mostly complete.
2.  I am certainly not an amateur related to course architecture so it is highly likely that some of my comments are incorrect.  If anyone would like to send corrections/additional comments I would be happy to update the web page.

Thanks CJ, Andrew and Sean - links added.
John, can you create a new thread for Crystal Downs and post your photos here at GCA? I'd like this directory to be limited to "discussions" found here at GCA.

There must be some way to create an IMO piece (not unlike Mark R's) which simply lists these photo tours.  A bank of posts like this should be easily findable.

I'd be happy to post a new thread but I'm not quite sure how to post the photos..... If someone wants to give me a hand.....

Jim:

Sean beat me to the punch with his idea, to "bookmark" this thread perhaps, or put it into some form like this one -- Mark R.'s link-rich article on UK courses. Mark's piece is one of the great resources on GCA:

I actually started doing this very thing a couple of years ago, compiling all the picture threads I could find (literally going
 through the archives page by page), but didn't get very far until I stopped.  This is all that I had done (I sorted them
alphabetically by U.S. State/Country, as the Final AOTD summary is) .  Also, I haven't checked that every link still works or
that the pictures are still available (hosted):

Very fine!  However, Grosse Ile and Pennard can be scratched.  That host started charging money so I dumped them.  It doesn't matter for Pennard because its highlighted in My Home Course.

I thought I had done more than the ones from my post above, and sure enough, I had a file at
work with another set of photo threads 'bookmarked'.  Again, haven't checked if all still
work/photos still hosted:

AL   Capstone Club   link
AUS   Royal Adelaide   link
CA   Meadow Club   link
CA   Morgan Creek   link
CA   Olympic   link
CA   Cypress Point   link

ENG   Burnham & Berrow   link

WI   Erin Hills   link

Also, as for getting this thread posted as a permanent piece on GCA by Ran....I'm betting
against it.  Many clamored for getting the AOTD summary done that way....and that was 4 1/2
years ago, with nothing doing.

Here is a write up I did recently for the Ocean Course at Hammock Beach.

http://golfclubatlas.com/forum/index.php/topic,34451.0.html

I'll start working on some others soon, including Riviera and maybe Princeville (Prince) and Oakmont (if there is demand for another one).
