In order to cure the problem with tees, a new separate back tee needs to be constructed 15-17 yards back (and right) of its’ current position. A new forward tee needs to be constructed further left and past large tree left. This will provide for a better view of the feirway from the back tees. Also, two trees on the right near the front of the current tee and numerous trees near the right side of the fairway bunkers should be removed. The area of the first feirway bunker should be lowered and the bunker rebuilt. This will help provide a better view of the second bunker and lowering the right side of this hole will make the hole play (and feel) better. The second bunker should be rebuilt slightly lower also. The greenside bunkers should be rebuilt with the left bunker being a fore-bunker and the right bunker moving closer to the putting surfrice. HOLE #12 The current Twelfth is a medium to short dogleg left ’sar five. The main tee is elevated 20 feet above the landing area, which provides a nice view of the friirway although too many trees have been planted on the left side of this hole. A small, rather poorly constructed Lake exists near ^e first tumpoint on the left side. There are also problems with drainage in the friirway. The green is slightly elevated and is protected on the left by a fore-bunker constructed on the hillside and a bunker on the right closer to the green. Nice trees surround the green. Two new forward tees should be constructed right and forward of the current cart path. At least six trees on the left should be removed so as to provide a better view of the pond area. The pond, which exists, should be reconstructed much larger and much deeper. This will create more excitement on the te"* shot. The friirway on the right should be expanded to create a bailout area for those not willing to risk playing near the new lake. The greenside bunkers should be reconstructed in approximately the same location with better drainage and sand. HOLE #13 The Thirteenth is a wonderful long par three. The tee is a bit awkward in that it points to the right of the green. The bunkering for this hole could be better (see recommendation). The putting surface is elevated on the side of a gentle hillside and is surrounded on three sides by a mix of nice trees. Overall, this is one of the nicest holes on the golf course. The teeing area should be rebuilt into three individual tees. They should be realigned so they all point directly at the center of the green. The right fore-bunker should be removed for traffic wear from the cart path to the green. The old fore-bunker located 35 yards short of the green (right) should be reconstructed for balance. The left bunker should be moved nearer the putting surface into the greenside slope. A new bunker on the right side of the green would add aesthetic and strategic appeal
