#13 TEE

#13 Tee prior to 2005 Tee Renovation,Tree Removal & Brush Clearing
Hole #13 The most demanding tee shot on the golf course. With the over grown brush on the left side and OB on the right side there was no true "bail out". Each side of the hole was just as penal and this hole can lead to the end of a solid round and slow pace of play.

2005 the Tees were renovated leading to better alignment and leveling of the teeing surface. This was a solid improvement, but as time proceeded the area continued to narrow due to over grown trees & brush.

For the past 3 winters we have performed 1 week of work clearing & restoring these areas with ecological friendliness kept in the forefront. The water quality has deteriorated due to the lack of fresh water renewal and large amounts of leaf debris accumulating in these ponds.

The winter of 2011 the final phase of this revitalization has been completed. All brush has been cleared and the areas will be planted with a conservation mix of seed to encourage all year round habitation of wildlife species. The water quality will improve as canal water will now be diverted to replenish water levels in the pond.

Visibility from the teeing grounds is no longer a limitation. A clear line of sight of your tee shot will aid in pace of play issues. Players will now have the ability to work the ball from left to right without disruption by trees.
