Olympia Fields South has a tree in the middle of the fairway on #11.  It is a short par 4 where if you're a big hitter you can go for the green but you have to watch out for the tree and a creek.  The neat thing about the tree is that it splits the fairway in two creating a higher risk angle to the right of the tree (shortest and best angle into the green) or a safe route to the left of the tree.  Overall a fun hole.

Just returned today  from three days at Crystal Downs . The 5th hole also has a tree in the fairway which is easily carried on the tee shot but adds a great deal of interest to a very demanding drive on a superb short par 4.
