David,

having seen your extra info it seems the quickest, cheapest and ONLY way to solve the problem is to fell most, if not all the trees. Anything else will be a more expensive way which wont work as well.

Difficult to disagree with this. Decent thinning as opposed to eradicating and mainly around green-sites... Although I suspect even that is a no-go area?

But you only have - what - 5 or 6 greens surrounded by trees?... 4-7 and maybe 11 & 12?

I'm not sure about Chambers Bay, but they've had more problems on their greens than all of the courses in Bandon put together.

Does anyone know what green construction method was used at Chambers Bay? Photos of the native site show typical Pacific North west gray sand/gravel.

Was the native material suitable for greens construction? Or did they import? From where if they did.

Are the greens USGA, modified USGA, California?
