The changes to the green complex are the biggest for the second season of TGL, with the putting surface being increased by 38% to now extend to 5,270 square feet.
There are now 12 pin placements on the green instead of seven while the highest point of the green has been lowered to improve the fans’ view of the action.
New slopes on the green and in the run-off area gives players more options in what chip shots they play, allowing for more bump-and-runs as well as high flop shots and low spinners.

The size of the hitting boxes has also been increased to help maintain the real grass, while in the bunker hitting box the lip at the front can be raised and lowered as required to create harder escapes.
