New bunker on hole no. 4

I'm sure you have all seen the new bunker we are installing to the right of the 4th fairway and the drain leading from the bunker to the lake adjacent to the 4th fairway. This area had chronically bad drainage as can be seen in the photographs above. As the area is about 200 yards from the tee where the hole dog legs, it catches a lot of golf balls that are a little wayward of the fairway landing zone, because of this we thought it a prime location for a fairway bunker. Also, the area would of had to be completely re-sodded so we are saving on sod too. We hope to have the project finished at the beginning of the new year.
