  • Balgownie- Fairway Bunkers Reconstruction – 12th Hole

    As part of our ongoing winter maintenance projects we took the decision to reconstruct the two right hand fairway bunkers on hole twelve. The previous bunkers revetted faces had began to deteriorate, so it was essential that we reconstructed the bunker as part of our winter projects 2024/25 .

    The old bunker faces were removed and the new revetted face was built with turf from our turf nursery and the surrounding area has been turfed with fescue to match the surrounding area. Fresh sand has been added before the bunker was taken back into play for the start of the 2025 golf season.
