Bunker Renovation is Complete

Conditions are improving at a rapid pace. Every bunker on the course has now been renovated with proper sub-surface shaping, new drainage, and new sand. The bermudagrass is waking up, the cool season turf is fading away, and our new drought-tolerant landscape is starting to pop with color.  

We've turned our attention to cart path repairs and spreading out some new mulch.  Green aerification went well and tees are up next, this coming Monday. After a long winter, the crew is anxious to get back to converting this course to dense, excellent bermudagrass.  

Below is our before/after shot of the left green side bunker on the 10th hole. There was nearly 2 feet of compacted, old sand in this bunker. Now there is 6 inches of firm, new sand that is consistent and drains well. I hope you enjoy the change as much as I do!!
