This is always something that we look forward to doing
after a heavy rain event. This morning we accumulated close to two inches of rain. Course as a whole does very well on drainage. But we do have some issues that need to be addressed in the future, the bunkers. Bunkers have a life span of around 5- 10 years depending on the design and internal functioning parts such as drainage and contaminated sand. As you can see in the photos we are lacking on the drainage. When an event like this does happen we have to pull all of our resources together to pump out and pitch sand back up to the edges. With over 50 bunkers ranging in size from under 1000 square feet to over 7000 square feet this can be a daunting task this can take up to three days to finish. Currently we are looking into doing some test bunkers using a product that lines the entire floor of the bunker making it one big drain instead of tile drains spaced where appropriate. We hope to see good results and apply this in the future to the rest of the bunkers. I do know that this product has performed extremely well with some other clubs in the area and the feed back they give me is astounding.
