The tee remains close to where it began, slightly to the right of the original. 1999 Changes See the changes! Large mounds in the landing area of the fairway were reduced approximately 80-85 percent and 20 pine trees approximately 35 feet hight were planted on the right side. On the left side, a group of about six trees were added behind the existing large trees. Also, a large mound on the right of green was removed and replaced by six pine trees.
