1925Cypress Point Club (Pebble Beach, CA)
When Marion Hollins started plans for Cypress, she first turned to Raynor as her architect. As the 1925 images below show, there were plans for a routing in place prior to Mackenzie ever arriving in the United States. How much of Raynor's plans made it into the completed Mackenzie/Hunter course remains very much a mystery.
There are a few early drawings of the routing for Cypress that apparently predate Mackenzie's involvement. They were briefly discussed here:

North Palm Beach Municipal Golf Course a/k/a Palm Beach Winter Club (North Palm Beach, FL)
The history of the Winter Club (which would eventually become North Palm Beach's municipal golf course) is a bit confusing, as the name was first used at William Langford's course in Kelsey City. This course was often referred to as the "New Everglades Course" and was a bit of a joint project between Singer and Kelsey. The project quickly fell into decline, with the course being shortened to 9 holes for a while before being restored to its full 18 in the late 1930's.

[To be updated]Rock Spring Country Club (West Orange, NJ)
Plans for the formulation of Rock Spring began in early 1925, with Willard Wilkinson creating a preliminary routing before the club sought out Raynor as architect.The Jan. 4, 1926 New York Sun article above notes Raynor was "building a circuit" for the club. The March 12, 1926 Evening Post article in Post #99 below indicates Banks was to lay out the course. If you look at the list of courses included in that article for which Banks was to continue Raynor's work, the implication is that "lay out" in this instance meant to apply Raynor's plans, not develop his own layout. Banks did have to modify the plans, as the club had to purchase new ground for a couple of holes as part of the property was deemed unfit to work on. Banks wrote about his work at Rock Spring in the Feb. 1928 Golf Illustrated article posted above under the Essex County listing.April 1925 Golf Illustrated.
