I'm not sure where to file this as I'm not sure if this is a WED or a scenery issue.
Steam users getting lower level of detail with a large portion of the golf course wiped out. The scenery does not include these areas in its boundaries. XP Installer users reported seeing an ortho rendering of a golf course in the area, but exclusion zones aren't working where they're supposed to. This becomes a problem for scenery developers with Steam versions as they cannot reconcile issues reported by mods in the review process.

View as seen from Standalone users. Assumption is both versions have Vegetation, World Objects & Draw distance to max. Personally, I am a Steam version owner so when a mod reports seeing an issue I cannot reproduce I will have a problem fixing it. My go-to assumption was to add an exclusion zone with trees & objects but it would be difficult to verify if my changes worked. Furthermore, it appears the exclusion zone is not being honored by X-Plane because here we are.

Was able to finally resolve this issue albeit a very nuanced one. The exclusion zone was very fickle as to where it was placed. I nudged it by a few pixels and the cleanup was triggered.
