Above and below: several trees were removed in front of #12 blue tee. I can't wait to get this cleaned up! Just look at the view of the creek you now have from the tee. In addition, the banks will be covered in wild flowers! It will certainly add to the aesthetics of one of our signature holes.
Below: Many of the dead hemlocks were removed from the area adjacent the 13th green.
The 2 pictures below are a stream enhancement effort we are going to start on the 17th hole. The Rhododendron were cut back to expose the creek. Our next step is going to remove a small portion of creek that is piped underground and open it up. We will "naturalize" and clean up the creek as well. Finally, there are several areas that are in need of improved drainage next to this creek. One area in specific happens to collect many errant tee shots. This will be addressed at the same time. Stay posted for more updates on this!
