I like what they do at New Quarter Park in Williamsburg, Va. If a tree drops in a wooded fairway, they chainsaw the branches off and cut a pathway to walk thru, and for those with carts. Trees that fall in the open fairway get removed, the fairways are kept mowed. The photos are two of my favorite holes.
Left- No. 14 had a handful of trees drop across the fairway from a tropical storm more than three years ago, you can see where they carved a pathway thru the trees. Theirs the one tree leaning to the left safely lodged, there were a few others leaning with it, but eventually started dislodging so they were brought down. That lone tree makes a great guardian to the long pin position which "used" to be an easy birdie if hitting the gap. I've hit the leaning tree a few times. The basket has a fallen tree in front of it in C1 to keep your disc from sliding in.
Middle/Right- No. 16 easy to see the pathway from the tee. On the right, in the bottom of the ravine you can see the short pin cover. Up the hill the basket is placed in the long pin, you can see some fallen trees giving some C1 protection stripped, and a pathway cut thru.
Every wooded fairway has fallen trees stripped and cut thru. I think it makes the course more scenic, and like how New Quarter Park leaves the trees as they lay.
