This is the view looking back from the 6th green.
The wooded area between the holes #5, #6 and #8 was thinned out to enhance the visual vista between these holes. In total, about 25 trees were selectively removed from the area to enhance the aesthetics of this part of the golf course. For most, the area will go largely unnoticed. However it looks much cleaner and natural with the healthy trees and layered Rhododendrons below.
Here is the view from #5 Ross tee.
Here is the view from the top of #8.
Finally, here's a shot from the 5th cart path, looking back towards the tee.
