Playing Eastern Mountain this afternoon with my wife, not one of my favorites, it’s too easy (referred to as easy mountain), but she likes it so it’s all good.
If you know someone who knows the name of the referenced course, please let me know and I’ll give it a try : )

I think it's the "Ranch", but I'm not sure. I looked it up and that's the only one I can find close. Does that not have "replica" holes?
I used to play Crupin-Fox occasionally, when Bill Sandri owned it. He also owned Fox Hollow in Trinity (near Tampa), where I was a member, so CF was very inexpensive for me to play. Last few times I played CF, it wasn't in great condition. A couple of years ago, when they started harvesting trees.
One of the coolest golf courses in your area (& they used to have an awesome non-resident membership deal) is The Orchards, which is a Donald Ross design.
I'm sure you know, the old Hampden CC has been transformed into Great Horse and it's quite a place. I played it once back when it was Hampden, because my friend Phil Pittorino (owner of Wedgewood Pines) owned it. The guy who bought it, claims to have spent $50M transforming it and completely redid the entire property.
