Bunker project

Over the last couple of weeks we have been busy repairing some of the bunkers on the existing holes. The construction on most of these bunkers were not up to our standards.  Since we have opened, some of the bunkers have had the gravel that is used in drainage ditches begin to float to the top of the sand.  This gravel is then hit out of the bunkers and onto the greens.  Obviously, that's not ideal for the greens or the golfers.  

We have taken the worst bunkers and started repairing them.  Below are some pictures of the process.

First step is getting the sand out of them.

Once the sand is out, we've had to repair and replace the drainage.  Liner is added next, followed by new sand.

This bunker has had about 2" of sand that has built up on the face over the last 4.5 years.

Once we are finished with these bunkers, they will be pretty soft for about six months.  We will continue tamping them to get them to firm up as quickly as possible.
