Bunkers...

Bunkers are always a talked about area of the golf course. Over time, due to washouts from heavy rains and the moving of sand from the machine rake, thin areas appear.

Currently, we are beginning to check sand depths in the greens side bunkers.  Not only are we adding new sand to the thin areas, but moving sand from areas with an abundance of sand to the areas that are in need of additional sand.  Once green side bunkers are completed we will target the fairway bunkers.

The goal is to have a consistent depth of sand in all of the bunkers, with 4 inches in the flat areas and 2 inches on the sides.  This process will take time to complete with 65 bunkers throughout the golf course, but is much needed!
