Greens-
Expand the green by adding extensions. (Dotted line indicates current size.)
Trees- Add selective clusters of trees to block poorly placed drives.

Mike DeVries- A longtime devotee of the works of Alister MacKenzie, DeVries grew up playing Michigan’s Crystal Downs. DeVries, whose office is in nearby Traverse City, has endeared himself to MacKenzieados with his restoration of California’s Meadow Club. His minimalist designs in Michigan—the Kingsley Club, the Greywalls course at Marquette Golf Club and the Mines Club—have earned him a large following among those who like their bunkers rugged and their greens wild.
