A major in-house project began this fall was re-grassing bunkers on #5 and the left side of #6 green. The pictures above show the finished faces. Both of these areas had built up a great deal of sand over the years. This made it extremely hard to keep quality turf in these high profile areas just off the green.
The crew removed the years of buildup down to the green netting/mesh from the original sod. We were able to find this netting on all the bunkers we re-grassed so they were unchanged from the original design. The new sod installed was a turf type tall Fescue, which will survive better on these bunker faces because it is more drought tolerant.

We also cut down the all the high rough mounds that were sodded last fall. Below if a Time Lapse video that highlights how much work goes into these areas. I'm hoping to add more videos like this in the future to better show what goes into maintaining Rockville Links Club.
