This week the staff finished clearing the unwanted brush and downed trees near the short fairway on the right of Grove 9. There was a considerable amount of debris that had accumulated over the years, but the end result is amazing. We can't wait to see it this spring when everything starts to green up! The next area on the list is to clean up/remove a few trees and the remaining brush along the lake edge on lower Orchard 8. The beginning of the fairway still had considerable shade from a handful of trees, so we are getting them out while the ground is frozen. The next location for targeted removals is to the left of Orchard 5 green. We did some work in there last winter, but realized this summer that more trees need to come out that are casting heavy shade on the green.
