My guess, Hot Springs, Arkansas, but there appears to be one in Kansas, too.
 
I think that it is the Agusta Country Club in Agusta, Ga. It is called the azalia hole. Site of the Agusta Nationals Golf Tournament. It has the signature Azalia's and dogwoods with the sand trap that so many artist have tried to capture.
 
I think Roz and Ray may be right.

Ray,

I believe the hole you are referring to at Augusta is the 13th or the Azalea hole. It is characterized by its large azalea bushes and dogwoods which are usually in bloom during the Masters tournament. The sand trap you mentioned is a 2 lobed sand trap and faintly resembles the head of Mickey Mouse. The lobes look like Mickey's ears and is an identifiable characteristic of the third hole in the Amen corner.

Larry Dyke did a couple of versions of these holes for Hadley Companies and I carried them for years until they finally were sold out.

Desoto Springs Pond/Ike Pond is a separate 9 hole course at the Augusta location that is a par 3 course. The poster may be of another Desoto Springs but that is the only one that I have heard of. Larry Hartaugh (sp?) did some prints of a couple of holes on Desoto Springs back in the 90's but my memory doesn't register which they were.
