Irrigation Blowout

The irrigation system is getting blown-out this week in preparation for winter.  Typically we do it before Thanksgiving week, however since the bunker project is still on-going we kept the system charged for a while longer.  

Bunker Project Continued

The completion of another major portion of the bunker renovation is almost complete.  The two fairway bunkers on the 14th hole have been combined to make one larger bunker.  Like the other bunkers the drainage and subsurface were reworked and the irrigation will be adjusted to the new bunker shape.  This bunker will be completed shortly, once the sand has been added and the surrounds have been sodded.  We have been very happy with the progress made so far and are looking forward to the completion of the bunker renovation project.

11th Fairway Bunker Renovation

The overhaul of the fairway bunker on the 11th hole will be completed shortly after Thanksgiving.  The bunker has been moved further back some 20 yards, by removing area from the front and adding it to the back.  New drainage has been added along with the relocation of irrigation.  The changes made will make the hole a little tougher for the longer hitters, while being more forgiving for the novice players.

Bunker Project

The picture shows the fairway bunkers on #1.  These three bunkers have been stripped completely and floors totally rebuilt.  Progress on the entire project has been great thus far despite the weather.  Early next week the 14th and 11th fairway bunkers will be completely reshaped. 

Bunker Project Continues

The bunker project continued this week holes 17 and 14.  The picture shows drainage work being done for a new out fall drain.  By early next week we hope to be into 17 fairway drainage and bunkering.  A new cartpath will be installed to the left of the fairway bunkers on 17.
