The newer bunkers we constructed last year are getting new sand. While we liked the bunker sand we originally installed, it dried to quickly leading to plugged balls and a lot of maintenance to try to eliminate the problem. We found a new sand last fall that we used on our last 5 holes that the membership liked and we will now use this sand moving forward.
The old bunker sand is being reused as a fairway topdressing so it is not being wasted. This spring we will be putting about 350 tons of sand on our fairways, including the approximate 100 tons we removed from the bunkers as our fairway topdressing and replaced bunker sand are almost identical in texture and size.
