Ian,

My other 2 guesses would be either Qualchan Creek or Hangman Valley.  Outside of that wouldn't know.

Doesn't look like Indian Canyon or Downriver...
 
Could be Wandamere or Spokane CC even though I've never play either...  ;D

It would be funny if #8 was Pinehurst CC in Pinehurst ID.
That would be within 100 mi of Cd'A

Ian,

I finally got it...#8 is Deer Park just NorthWest of Spokane.  Never played it but driven past there several times.  The hill in the background was final giveaway.  :)

Kalen, no actually, #8 is not Deer Park.   You may have the names confused?

Garland: nope.

Brad: nope.

Robert: yep, that's #11.


I'll post some more pictures for the ones I have more of, and hints for any others.  Hopefully a couple of the backgrounds will help you out.

Ian,

Diabolical.
They should turn this into a game show on The Golf Channel.

Sure beats Wheel of Fortune.

 I believe #17 is Waikoloa Village upland from Mauna Kea and the beach.  Not sure what hole it is though.
Is 18 something in Vegas?

Kalen: correct. (you're not missing anything by not playing there)
Lance: correct.

Umm I think they're both #9 but there are 3 holes that are exactly the same (par 4, up the same ridge, parallel, straight, similar length, tree-lined) so I can't be sure.  I can usually remember every hole on a course,  but Sun Dance has so many similar holes I can't differentiate them...

BTW, what's with the crazy logos in Spokane?  Sun Dance has some sort of native dancer, Wandermere has a marmot, Esmeralda has a horse playing golf...

Spokane is an interesting location.

While its certainly modern and a great place to live with a cheap cost of living, the people there can be a bit odd.  Being from Cali I know I'm not one to talk, but even after living in the area for 5-6 years, I still couldn't quite figure out what made the locals tick.

Of course I'm making broad sweeping generalizations at this point so I should probably stick to the golf, which is excellent and very affordable.  I never played sundance, wandermere, or deer park because I always had much better options in Downriver, Indian Canyon, Qualchan Creek and Hangman Valley....and thats just in the downtown area.

Pictures and hints added.

Kalen, I've been up there a few times (a relative lives about 2 minutes from Wandermere).  Unfortunately I haven't played any of the good courses you've mentioned (besides Qualchan).  I have played Coeur d'Alene (there used to be a locals rate).

Is #4 Achill GC?

Two guesses for #2:  Ballina GC and Connemara GC.  Though I don't think either is right . . .
