New Bunker Complex

 It's my pleasure to announce that the bunker on the left of #3 green has been redesigned and constructed. Superior Golf Concepts came in and did all of the work creating a functioning bunker once again. They reshaped, added new drainage, sod, and G-Angle bunker sand. This particular bunker will be monitored over the course of the season to determine the characteristics and maintenance needed for this bunker. Outlined below is a series of pictures taken during the entire process. The pictures will give you a real understanding of how much work has gone into just this one bunker. 

 The first step in the rebuilding process was stripping back all of the sod to define the work area.

Once all of the sod is displaced from the work area, the mini excavator moves in to start the demo work on the old bunker.

The rough shape of the new bunker complex is starting to come to life after just one of work.

By now the old bunker is a thing of the past. 2 1/2 loads of fill dirt was used to create what you see here.

Once the rough shape of the bunker complex is determined, then we go in and water jet the existing drain line. This will   will be the drain line used to hook the new drainage into.

the rough shape of the bunker is coming to life in the form of a bright orange paint line.

Once the bunker shape is determined, then the drainage is added to the base of the bunker to displace any rain or irrigation runoff.

The yellow arrows represent the drain pipe that will catch all runoff from the green slope. Once sod goes down these will be cut flush to the ground and a drain grate will be placed on top of each pipe.

Due to the steep slope, bunker liner is installed on the face of the bunker to help with stability of the slope and grass that will be laid on top.

Grass is starting to get laid prior to sand being added to the bunker. The grass will be laid working away from the bunker.
