For those that have played White Bear Yacht Club they would know that the course generally plays through wide corridors through dense forests of trees and underbrush. Last winter the club removed all of the scrub trees and brush in the forest in the corner of the property between the 2nd fairway, the par-3 third, and the 4th fairway. It's a significantly improved visually, as you can now see the very treacherous 3rd through the trees looming as you play the 2nd, and the 3rd now feels much less choked by trees and foliage. The benefits to the surrounding turf, especially the 2nd and 3rd greens, is probably significant due to the improved airflow in an already tight area.
I believe the plan is to clear underbrush in a similar way in the forests to the right of the 4th tee, to the right of the 14th tee, between the 12th tee and 16th green, the 12th fairway and 16th fairway, behind and around the 15th green, and behind the 17th green.
I think it's a big project overall to clear out these huge areas of growth and will take some time, but it seems most people were really impressed with the work in the corner near the 3rd hole.
