2.4 Trees and Vegetation

Trees were not a common feature in the first days of golf, they started to be common only when golf started to move inland or away from the original British links.
Trees have become common in the modern golf architecture, many courses are built in woodlands where massive clearings can be necessary to fit holes in the site, to do that and to make the new course look natural it should be blended into the natural environment and not be distinct from the surrounding area.
