Bunker Project

Since the fate of Woodcrest was undecided until the late May acquisition of the course by First Montgomery Group, maintenance of the course was at 50%.  Luckily once a date for re-opening was set, the throttle was turned up.  The first big project of the year was to add sand to all of our bunkers.  With a deadline of only a week until opening day we needed all the help we could get.  Thankfully to our friends at Pine Valley, extra crew members and a vital piece of equipment, we were able to meet our deadline before we opened on June 6th.  In order to get our bunkers into playing shape we had to edge, remove old dirt, and most importantly we added a temporary drainage fix to a majority of the bunkers.  We used a Toro Dingo with a drill bit to remove clay, which most of Woodcrest is built on, and then we backfilled them with fresh sand to help the bunkers drain.
