Tee placement, location, surface sizes, and uniformity should be reviewed to determine the playability and agronomic pressures on these surfaces. It is important to assess each tee complex on the course to determine if improvements to these features should be identified as part of the Master Plan. Generally, tee expansion and leveling can be a big priority in the remodeling process. The use of a laser leveling system is an effective way to finish grade tee rootzone to develop a consistent and uniform playing surface. Generally, each tee subgrade and rootzone material is laser leveled at 1.0% slope fron front to back and .05% from right to left.

Many course improvement projects involve building or adding a new forward and back tees to better accommodate the diverse skill levels playing the game. Depending on the nature of the course, its history, original golf architect design style, terrain, maintenance practices and owner(s) and designer preferences; a free-form or square tee pod construction program can be implemented.
