Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Is that a video golf game or did you take the picture through a screen?

Though my computer screen. We're visiting dad/family. Lived here for my senior year in high school, 1985.

I used to live in Ocean, NJ...seriously.

Ha! Ever play at Colonial?

Ha! Ever play at Colonial?

No. I've never played golf. Never will either. Not my cup of tea...or mug of beer.

 

[jack13]

Haven't played in probably 25 years. Very likely last time was in Ocean NJ though!

I'm South Jersey born and bred, but I left for the last time in late 1987...

 

[arturo7]

So it’s a muni somewhere in CA?

 

[jack13]

Gotta laugh. Arturo guesses torrey pines golf club earlier. Reading just now look what's mentioned (near bottom):

 

[applescrap]

Ponderosa in truckee, ca

 

[arturo7]

Little Joe works as a caddy.

 

[Bilsch]

Bushwood Country Club

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Not Truckee nor...humm...Bushwood. HA! Municipal sounds like a course that belongs to a bigger town/city. Technically it's ['Town Name-2 words' Golf Club]. Both words are the last names of two famous people.

 

[beermanpete]

Lewis and Clark Golf Course, Astoria, Oregon?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Nothing in Oregon...read the hints carefully

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

It’s not Torrey Pines.

Don’t think it’s Spyglass, Augusta or St Andrews either...

So hint...9 hole. Walk only. That's the club house in the middle of town..using the term loosly. @arturo7 already mentioned 2 golf courses that shares the same state.

Just spoon feeding hints....

 

[arturo7]

Looks too green to be in the Central Valley

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Correct

 

[arturo7]

Over 3,000’ altitude?

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Yessir

 

[homebrewer_99]

Mints? Why did it have to be mints?

Hint #1: 9 hole.
Hint #2: Walk only. That's the club house in the middle of town..using the term loosly.
Hint #3: @arturo7 already mentioned 2 golf courses that shares the same state: Two of these: Spyglass, Augusta and St. Andrews....

I have no idea where these are.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Sorry, I guess you don't have access any kind of knowledge base to figure out this puzzle neither.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

For the record, I've used a certain readily available knowledge base using multiple criteria that has been mentioned and this town shows up every time.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

By mid day if no one has figured it out I give the most valuable hint of all. I have to work tomorrow...

 

[homebrewer_99]

LOL! I was trying to be witty...I'm not into golf in any manner so even if you told me the answer it wouldn't mean anything to me.

Even if you were into golf the answer wouldn't mean anything to you. It looks like some raggedy little course in the middle of nowhere. No offense to the poster.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

The greens are brutal.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

How many 2 word town names (last names of 2 famous 19th century people) in California that are above 3000ft with a golf course? uhh, 1 that I see.

Just like the picture of blocks and some dude I don't expect anyone to know this place but a little search and guesses will get you there.

 

[ThirstyPawsHB]

Mid day hint. 2 words of the town are the last names of 2 pretty famous 19th century writers. 1st word is probably the most famous. The 2nd word is pronounced as the really important organ in the middle of your chest but spelled differently.

No offense taken, but that "some dude" is me...

Those are some pretty good clues.

Famous writers...I'm guessing the second one Hart, but I don't know any writer by that name.
