Golf course bunkers require periodic rebuilding to maintain their integrity and functionality for players. Over time, natural elements such as rain, wind, and foot traffic gradually erode the sand, causing it to become compacted and uneven. This deterioration affects the aesthetics and playability of the course, as well as the strategic challenges intended by course designers. Rebuilding bunkers allows for proper shaping, replenishment of sand, and reinforcement of bunker edges, ensuring consistency in both appearance and performance across the course. Additionally, technological advancements in golf course design and construction offer opportunities to enhance bunker design and drainage systems, ultimately improving the overall experience for golfers.
In May 2024, we initiated a comprehensive renovation project for the course bunkers. This process included stripping the sod around the existing bunkers, removing the sand, and reshaping their edges. We installed a liner made of a blend of rubber and stone between the dirt and sand to ensure proper drainage and reduce sand contamination. After allowing the liner to cure, we added fresh sand and installed new turf around the bunkers and on their faces. These areas were roped off for several weeks to enable the sod to take root and strengthen enough to withstand foot traffic. We completed this renovation in September 2024.
