For a long time the fairway bunker on #18 has always washed out, deposited silt into the sand, and created a pond for days after a rain event. We began to fix the situation by checking to see if the internal drainage was still functioning properly, which it was. Next we removed the contaminated sand and replaced it with new sand. The final, and most important component, was diverting the surface water around the bunker. We did this by removing the sod above the bunker, grading in a swale bringing the surface water to the right and left of the bunker, and replacing the existing sod. The final product looks great. Now we'll let mother nature put it to the test.
