The 2nd tee on the West course has always posed a challenge with the tee shot as you do not have a view of any target. Construction will begin this week on renovating the tee so there will be a visible view of the green on this short par 4. It will involve some grading and elevations changes to the tee along with some brush clearance to obtain a better angle and view for the tee shot. For progress photos and updates, you can view them on this post as they are made.
