#23 is #14 at Tobacco Road

Mike, you got 13 and 33.  23 is not at Tobacco Road.  I do see the similarity though.

Pic 3 is #11 at CommonGround.  Pic 18 is Colorado Golf Club, though I'm not sure which hole it is.  Pic 36 looks like an Engh green and looks like it's on the Front Range, but I know it's not Fossil Trace or Sanctuary so my guess would be Pradera.

I agree on #10.

Is #8 the 11th at Shooting Star?

Every guess has been right thus far except for two wrong guesses at #23.

And nobody has taken a stab at any of the Canadian courses.  I think it's time you guys came up north for a little trip!

#1 is 3 Creek Ranch. Maybe #16?

#11 is Willow Creek. Used to be #17, but I think they've switched nines so I'm assuming its now #8?

#23 is Gozzer Ranch #14

#30 looks like a Jim Engh hole but I can't place it.

Andy, #30 is an Engh design.

Mark, 15 is Orchard Lake.  I didn't think anyone would get that one.  Have you played there? I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have.

#12 is Elkhorn at Sun Valley? Don't know what hole, it's been 30 years.

I'm disappointed that there are no shots from Crag Burn or Harvest Hill.

Man I was hoping I could get a couple of these since I know he travel in the Pac Northwest, but sheeeesssshhhh, that is a lot of different golf courses.  The only one I can help on is #9

Which is Tumble Creek, Tee shot on #4, the best par 5 on the course.

Peter, I didn't post too many PNW courses.  I figured identifying a course like Chambers wouldn't be much of a challenge.

Kalen, yep on 9, 21, 28 (one of my favorite pictures).

No on 32 and 35, but you have the right state on each.

Yeah it's Promontory Dye (one of my favorite Dyes I have played).  And the other is not Greywalls.

Funny I mis-identified it...I've played Prom Dye, not Glenwild.

I'm going to say thats a view from behind 6 green, the short par 4.

P.S.  That 5th picture looks very similar to the 5th tee at Idaho Club, even though I know its not.   I'm kinda bummed you didn't get one from that course in this mob of pics.

Thanks for the activity though, I love racking my brain on these things!  ;D

Kalen,

when you guys get done with this one I'm happy to post another one.  Actually, I didn't post a few courses because I thought, "well, Kalen will get that in one second, so no point.  I want a challenge for these guys."

And I'm surprised at a couple that no one has got yet. There are three Donald Ross courses, an AWT and a Park Jr. that remain unnamed. And 14 is listed in the courses by country section.
