Similar to the photo of the fourth fairway above (which is in the most densely forested portion of the property), look at how the twelfth green is swathed in sunlight. Pre 2003 U.S. Open, too many trees prevented proper conditions for such healthy turf. Though the soil is heavy, when nature cooperates, MacKenzie can give the members the green grass they cherish while giving an organization like the U.S.G.A. fast and firm.
