7th Green Changes



The new changes to the 7th green are as follows:
1.  We eliminated the long greenside bunker left of the green and created 2 deeper bunkers that sit almost sideways to the green.  By doing this, we allow more foot traffic to access the green from all areas left of the green instead of in the front and back of the green only as was the case before.
2.  We removed the retaining wall that was along the right of the green and sloped the banks right to the waters edge.  We also removed the shaved down area that was right of the green and replaced it with rough to make the hole more fair if your ball rolls off the right side of the green.
3.  We widened the approach by shifting the front right bunker closer to the pond and at the same time, the 2 bunkers to the left have fairway running right into them, so a shot left f the green will surely roll into the bunkers instead of getting caught up in the rough before.
4.  We added a new tournament pin placement back left of the hole by expanding the green behind the new bunkers.  This will add a tough pin to get at especially since the hole plays anywhere from 180-205.
