The past few days we have been able to make great strides on the bunker project on #17. All three of the new bunkers have been shaped and drained. Tuesday morning Ian Andrew our consulting golf course architect, will be painting the final contours in the bunkers. We will then install the bunker boards and back fill with topsoil to the new edges. Once the edges are established we will add the new sand and await sod. The rain and snow that we recieved over the last couple of days has had little effect on the rough shaping process. We are hoping for some drier days to complete the fine tuning and sod prepping.

ReplyDeleteHow far is the bunker or bunkers on 17. Are they only on the west side of the fairway? Also are they positioned to prevent balls going down in the second valley?
Hi Grant, as per the master plan, there is three new bunkers on #17. One is on the left side of the fairway @ approx. 150 yds out from the green. The second is in the hollow on the right positioned in the north face and the third is a greenside bunker on the left (which I believe was once there previously).
