We have removed the planter that was situated behind the 3rd green, which will allow us to improve the playability of the hole. While the planter served its purpose for many years, it does not fit into our style of golf course now that is more natural in nature. Also, the flowers on the rhododendrons and azaleas only flowered for the late spring and offered no color in the summer. The plants were over grown and becoming unsightly. Now, rough will be added to the hillside and an expanded collar that will allow approach shots that normally would be in the rough leaving an impossible chip to now roll back onto the green. We were able to reuse many of the plants along property lines and buildings for screening.
