Why would they have cut down the mature trees?
They were diseased.

16 is perhaps, IMHO the WORST HOLE (design wise) at West Park... this IS SPRAY AND PRAY GOLF!!.. there is NO fairway the entire time, a huge tree in front of the basket... let er rip and hope A. you find your disc, B. it bounced off something, and you only have to ping pong it of 6 more things for the deuce... Fun hole, kinda, good hole, no, and as for a tunnel, I just overhand it... why would you want to even attempt to throw THROUGH it?
Off the top of my head, I vote for #19 at The Oaks in Mokena... just a damn evil little hole... it's one of those "WTF? I just 6'd a par 3!?!"
I LOVE tunnel shots. The tight woods at Winter Park yielded a LOT of tunnels. Oh BTW a tunnel is under a canopy of trees that you could not tomahawk over. Time to get ridiculous here as I wait for my plane, take your pick of these tunnels at Winter Park...

Really, check out this one. It is a signature tunnel and downhill floater.

There are LOTS more tunnels at Winter Park. Almost every wooded hole is a tunnel. There are 6 pages of pictures for you to enjoy!!!
