I am working on a nine hole course with two sets of tees: one intended for red level players and the other for white level players. This question concerns hole #8. The first photo below is from the red tee; the second photo is from the white tee. In both photos, the black circles represent basket locations, and the green rectangles are proposed areas for planting trees. The chalk lines that you see represent line of sight paths from tee to basket. I'd rather not plant anything in those paths.

The green rectangle on the right in the second picture is the location indicated by the green rectangle in the first picture. This area is the root of my question with this post. As you can see, right now the hole is pretty open. I want to add some decision-making from the tee without sacrificing line of sight to all three basket locations (the tree and some of the hill obstructing the view of location C from the red tee will be cleared to create line of sight). The proposed planting site is the location where there was the greatest distance between chalk lines (32 feet). I am thinking about planting three conifers in an equilateral triangle about six feet apart. I'm not sure what type of conifer (long story that's not relevant here). The group of trees would be about 200' from the red tee and 335' from the white tee. Would this addition add challenge sufficient to warrant the effort? Any thoughts or comments are appreciated.
