I lied! last one...this one is close to me. A fairly iconic par 3 on a course that most people locally consider fairly "vanilla". private but public can get out there without too much determination.

Welcome buddy. Most of these aren't ringing a bell for me, but based in the hint of this one and the building in the background as it relates to the hole, this may be Glen Mills.

Mountain view.g-g-g-g-g-guess the course. Less Easy, not sure how many people play here. Pond carry that you can't see (it's more of a threat off the tee box)

Would love to but I'm down at the shore. Now that you're playing again let's get a round in soon

you got it! The iconic bell tower of the Glen Mills Schools campus. I love the layout here and the course conditions. The kids do excellent maintenance work. You can make the course as hard as you like playing back or just enjoy it.

Glen Mills Schools History:The Glen Mills Schools was founded in 1826, originally incorporated as the Philadelphia House of Refuge. The Philadelphia House of Refuge was the third school of its type in the country, following the New York House of Refuge in 1824 and the Boston House of Refuge in 1825.
In 1892, the school relocated to its current campus in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, on nearly eight hundred acres, and in 1911 changed its name to the Glen Mills Schools. Today, the Glen Mills Schools is the oldest existing school of its type in the United States, continuously providing services to troubled youth for over one hundred and eighty-five years.

Wow! NICE! In the shooting gallery that is Mtn View one of the few holes you can really hurt yourself off the tee. #3 now since they switched 9's, narrow, blind tee shot that's 100% not receptive to any draw off the box (IMHO).. at about 240? you start running out of fairway and run down into a pond. a single trap may catch your ball. Bail out used to be right until they bunkered off the fairway. the green is absolutely no bargain as it's severely pitched back to front. If you fly the green you can pretty much forget about any possibility of up and down.
the rest of the course is forgettable, but for some reason always kicks my butt. Like having an older brother than knows your history and weakness.

I'll just call this one. Yardley Country Club... number 17 I think. Tremendous uphill par 3. playing from the back 220+ hole + the elevation will challenge almost anyone. the course is typically very well maintained but because of the relative simplicity and shortness of the course I think they struggle to retain/attract memberships. all my opinion. they used to do a "member for a day" during the week to get public play last season but that idea was scrapped and it's pretty much private only.
