#18 Bunker Liner Project

The Fairway bunker on #18 is one of the biggest bunkers on the golf course. It is also unique because it receives the largest amounts of concentrated water flow on the golf course. The entire hill side above #18 fairway funnels down and releases most of its water into this bunker. Some of the worst washouts on the golf course happen in this bunker. We have contemplated re-grading parts of the fairway so that this issue is avoided, but for now we are taking a cautious approach to perfecting #18's renovation. A large issue that exists in this bunker is the ground squirrel damage on its bunker lips. Unfortunately I was involved with separate projects around the rest of the golf course so I did not see the methods used in repairing the bunker lips. As you can see from the pictures, the edges were almost completely re-constructed and sodded. Many of the holes around the edge also had to be repaired. With the potential amount of water damage in mind, these edges were diligently repaired and prepared for the upcoming rain seasons.
