If you're just learning how to post pics Brian, we're in for some serious backlogged photo tours from you. How bout the cross country corvette trip?

1 is Arcadia Bluffs
8 is Kingsley Club

Love the look of 16 and 22. Will wait to hear from others on their identities.

Thanks for sharing-

6 looks like Forest Dunes
11 looks like it might be Crystal (haven't played there yet, so I'm guessing)

« **Reply #6 on:** August 27, 2008, 04:02:37 PM »

#5 is Buck's Run - 18th hole I think
#2 is the Postage Stamp 12th at the Gailes
#13 looks like Bay Harbor

Tony,
I think many of your guesses were pretty good. I agree #22 looks awesome, I'm not surprised its Greywalls.

1. #10/11 at Arcadia
4. Looks like it could be #6 at Angels Crossing, but its an odd angle that doesn't show the green so hard to be sure.
6. #1 at the Dunes Club
8. #7 (?) at Kingsley
9. Wuskowhan Players Club #4
11. Lost Dunes #2
17. Well...it sure looks like a Jim Engh bunker and its not Tullymore so must be True North.

Sean,
Its interesting how folks have different tastes. I'd have chosen #22 as most interesting and the one you picked I barely looked at until you re-posted

No idea where it is though...

« **Reply #15 on:** August 27, 2008, 08:24:14 PM »

Wow, Im shocked at how many I can't place

I need to get out more.

I'll only name the ones I am confident it...

1- Arcadia, duh
2- Gailes
5- Buck's Run
7- Oakland Hills
8- Kingsley
13- Bay Harbor
21- Forest Dunes, though Ive never seen it that shaggy. 17?
22- Greywalls

Fun game!

#10 is not Hemlock...the course posted is in southern Michigan

« **Reply #19 on:** August 27, 2008, 08:35:59 PM »

Isn't Michigan so diverse. Some of these courses don't fit the typical "Michigan" profile

« **Reply #20 on:** August 27, 2008, 08:37:45 PM »

Is the Crystal Downs hole #4? Looks like the tree and hogback fairway of #5 in the background.

It sort of does look like #4 at Crystal...at least the green complex.....it's actually Angel's Crossing

« **Reply #22 on:** August 27, 2008, 08:44:36 PM »

I haven't made it to a computer yet where I can see the pics. I will guess #14 is Belvedere based on the hint alone.

Jon,
Yea, #17 is Forest Dunes. That was taken in late fall when the heather was grown out and sort of browned out.
