Welcome to the Jungle!

 We have begun clearing tree-lines around the course to bring a cleaner look to Rivercrest as well as increasing the turf health surrounding these areas.  The crew have been hacking, slicing, raking away the underbrush between holes 11 and 12, 10 green, 10 fairway end, and 9 gold tee. The end of 10 fairway was cleared so that the entire fairway could be seen from the black tees. This not only allows us to utilize the entire black tee, but allows better airflow to the bottom corner of the fairway which has been difficult to maintain.

Thick underbrush along 12 Approach.

Finished look.

 

Even without the leaves 10 green is barely visible.
