10:31; my mother-in-law would've solved in in about 2 minutes -- best puzzler I've ever met. I'm about to go visit her for the holidays and once again be shamed into doing puzzles with her where her ratio of puzzle fitting to mine is about 20:1.

Almost done.

Joe,
You really must stop posting these mini-puzzles, of golf courses to boot,...I find them irresistible!! ;D

Took me almost 23 and my eyes are on the verge of tears (from strain, not pain, the pic is gorgeous). Gettin' old...
The algorithmic nature of puzzles has always fascinated me. Doesn't make me good at them, however.
-
I enjoy the puzzles more after I have looked at the photo. It is interesting to think about the perspective and proportions in the context of puzzle pieces. As golfers we focus on (and even magnify) certain golf related features and possibly overlook other non-golf related features, but the puzzle forces us to see the course in the context of the surrounds.
(12:45 first time on the last one, under 10 on second effort.)
-
I'm wondering how much more challenging these online puzzles would be if they mimicked a real one more accurately in that the pieces aren't already in the proper orientation! I'm thinking that wouldn't be that hard to implement, with I guess a quick double-click on a piece (or a click and hold) to rotate the piece if desired.

Agreed Joe,
My dad and I used to do them when I was younger (1000 piece puzzles) and it would take our collective effort a few weeks of working on it off and on. It would take us a full hour or 2 just to organize the pieces without even connecting any. ;D
P.S. My biggest beef with the online ones is... I'm using a smallish laptop and I can't move many of the pieces out of the way very well.

Neil,
sorry missed this first time. I played it a couple of times back in the 80's since which due to erosion and new roads there have been some changes. It is the Mackenzie course of Scarborough Southcliff which is very much a parkland/cliff top course not a links style. There was at the point that I played it still a good deal of Mac left in it though much of the internal parts of the course had been planted blocking the sea views which must have been magnificent at one time. By now I would think the trees are big enough to almost give it a woodland course feel. It is worth a look if in the area though it has been 30 years so things may have changed and to put it into context I prefer Filey to it.
Mackenzie must have done his work sometime in the 20's so it depends on when the poster was printed as to if it is his work depicted.
Jon
-
Thanks, Jon.
Re : Scarborough
I did a little research.
The poster was done by Frank Henry Mason. He lived in Scarborough much of his life (1875-1965).
He was quite a successful artist, with exhibitions of his work still happening today.
He designed numerous rail posters in the 1920s and 1930s. (They are fascinating.)
So I think this poster is from that era.
Which means that the golf course in the picture is part of the Mackenzie course.
Its accuracy is unknown to me.
But I'm wondering if it shows the eroded NLE cliff holes.
(Perhaps a predecessor of Pebble Beach #8 ?)
From the club website: (http://www.southcliffgolfclub.com/about-the-club/history/)
At the turn of the last century the game of golf had become very much in vogue and the absence of links in Scarborough was to the disadvantage of the town. Hence a movement was set afoot to provide golf links and tennis courts on South Cliff. The proposal at first was that the scheme should be municipal but later the movement became one of semi private character and a limited Liability Company was proposed in 1902. The company was formed to carry out the scheme with power to let the land to two new clubs – Scarborough Town Golf Club and Scarborough Cliff Lawn Tennis Club. After little success the tennis club later folded.
Distinguished golfers to play the course in the early days include Harry Vardon, James Braid and J H Taylor together with the 1907 Open Champion, Arnaund Massey. After a period of serious neglect and suffering during the First World War, Dr MacKenzie of Cypress Point, Augusta National and Royal Melbourne fame was commissioned to design and supervise the construction of a new course which is, with some alterations, the one that is played today.
A new clubhouse was added in 1930 and the professional’s shop in 1937.
As cliff erosion crept towards the 9th and 10th holes, the course was altered and remapped during the 1980s with new 16th and 17th holes. More holes were built in 2002 to accommodate the new Scarborough to Filey Road the 11th and 12th holes were completely new and the 3rd modified. A new bridge linked the two parts of the course and the dash across the busy road became a thing of the past!

Walden Pond?

3:59 for Streamsong. I don't know where it was taken but it was either taken as a part of surveillance, sniper position or a peeping tom[font=&][/font]

Walden Pond?
Not Walden Pond. Grin.
But rather about 1/4 mile away from the 15th green at Merion East.

Cobbs Creek where it first emerges from underground north of the East Course?

Time to get another puzzle going after about 1 year off. ;D
Name the course and hole:

It is #10 at Tavistock CC. It was taken late in 2019.

Time to do another puzzle after nearly a year off.

Love your puzzle Joe, but don't recognize the hole/course!

It's a real good one.

Pretty sure I know the venue, while the place is not very Green the sand is very white so it looks like a recent retrovation, Sir.

That puzzle solves to this picture below, the new par 3 12th hole at the Naval Academy golf course, a William Flynn design that fully reopened not long ago after extensive work by Andrew Green.
This reverse-Redan inspired par 3 plays 250 yards and can be stretched out to +300!
This is a view of the green from the 13th tee, looking back up the hill:

Here are three more pics of the hole:

After a hiatus I present a different version of puzzle solving. Solve the hole-sequencing, then smile at the unusual nature of it. Then can you name the course?!

That's good.
Ever seen a hole-sequencing quite like that?!
-
6:03...
And yes very odd hole sequencing...
-
Guess I know who the high handicapper is in this group: 15:31! Not sure I’ve played that course. I might remember the odd sequence from 13-18 and the walk from 15-16.

I enjoyed that one!

7.13 and no idea what course. Any clues ?

This is Berwick Golf Club in Berwick, PA.

Wow Joe, I never have even heard of that course.

It is real easy to fly under the radar when you are a course in the Golf Association of Philadelphia! Note that GAP covers a large area and Berwick is over 2h from Billy Penn's hat!
Berwick opened in 1920 as a 9-hole course designed by Frank Meehan, a Philadelphian best known as the "father of junior golf" for our area. I forget when the second 9 holes was added.
The terrain at Berwick is quite good and the conditioning to match. Their bent grass fairways were in great shape. And this place does not have a large budget. In fact, they are noted in how often members volunteer their time to help out when needed.
A really good write-up by Tony Regina of GAP for their recent centennial is here:
https://gapgolf.org/berwicks-centennial/
You can check out a hole-by-hole tour at this link (in particular check out the par 5 4th hole with a huge volcano green that will make you smile):
