It is on the East Coast north of NYC.   And here is the only other photo he texted.

It is Old Sandwich though I have not played it and don't know the holes. Looks like a great spot.

Josh,
Those are the 7th and 16th holes at Old Sandwich. Here are a few photos I took from those spots a few weeks ago. It's definitely one of my favorite C&C tracks and both holes mentioned are quite good. I actually thought the green complex at 16 was one of the more interesting ones I've ever seen.

Am I right that the bunker island green in the top pic of Connor's is on a 360-390 yard par four?

I love the look of it, much like the 3rd at Pine Valley. How does it play?

Scott,
I believe the back tee on that hole is 390. Theres a slope that can send your drives a good ways down the hill, which for longer hitters can leave a really tricky pitch to that green. There's plenty of incentive for longer players to hit it a bit shorter (although it may leave them a hanging lie).
