The complete overhaul of our bunkers was completed in 2018 and not much work outside of raking and trimming around the edges has had to be put into them until this year. The crew focused a lot of effort into the bunkers this summer. Over time grass and weeds will encroach into the bunkers. The Bermuda grass in the rough will quickly send runners into the bunker and root itself in the sand. Over enough time these runners will form a full stand of grass in what used to be the bunkers edge. We spent the better part of this summer digging the grass all the way back to the bunker liner and reestablishing the original edge to all the bunkers on the property.

We have also been adding sand to areas of our bunkers that have gotten low do to play and/or wind. This fall we are looking to add sand to all bunkers, getting them back to the level they were when the bunker project was completed in 2018.

Hopefully all this work is admired from a distance as no golfer actually wants to be in the bunkers. After all, the bunkers are a hazard. In the unfortunate circumstance that you do have to go into a bunker please help us out, as well as the golfer behind you, by raking out your tracks.
