We have begun work on the master plan project for the 18th hole. Essentially what will happen is the first fairway bunker on the left will be removed filled in and regraded to the natural contour of the surrounding topography. We will also reposition the first bunker on the right of the fairway to become a longer bunker running parallel to the fairway. Last, the fairway will be widened on both sides of the fairway and will provide a bit more forgiving landing area off the tee. The pictures above show some of the work in process. We have removed whatever good sand that remained in the bunker and will be re-using it in the new bunker. Also, the picture with the red flags in it designate where the "new" bunker will be. The picture with the white line in it marks where the new fairway edge will be. The project will take a few weeks to complete and the finished product will not be realized until next season but I believe the change will definitely be positive and allow the hole to play how it should play. As a result of the construction going on, the entire area will remain "Ground Under Repair" until further notice.
