Drainage and Renovation Underway on #5

 

Work has begun on the 5th hole this past week.  Our goal is to drain the fairway, rebuild the bunkers and tie those drains to our new trunk lines and to change the fairway contour lines.  The biggest problem with #5 is the amount of runoff from the hillside so we must divert water to drain basins to prevent the runoff from entering bunkers and ending up down by the green.  Phase one is to catch the upper portion of the fairway on the left side and phase 2 is to divert the water on the lower portion of the fairway toward the cart path and drainage ditch.  While this is good sized project it will address all our issues on the hole while improving the playability and strategy.
