The Bunker Renovation Project
 
The Bunker Renovation project is in full swing here at Honey Run. As you are well aware, we have already added sand to the Greenside Bunkers this past summer. Our next phase in the bunker renovation process was to install internal drainage to the Greenside Bunkers, reshape the bunker edges and add additional sand if needed. We have complete the Front 9 Greenside Bunkers and plan to do the Back 9 this winter.

We have also installed internal drainage on the Fairways of Holes #1, #7 and #11. They are growing in nicely and draining much better. All stumps have been ground here at Honey Run. We have eliminated 117 stumps. Our new stump grinder has proven to be a worthy purchase.

New to the '09 season will be an Intermediate Cut (Junior Rough) around the borders of the Green Fringe and Fairways. This 4' step cut will improve the aesthetic look of the Fairways and allow the golfer who just misses the Fairway to play on a tighter 1" cut playing surface instead of the 2" rough immediately outside the Fairway.

We are committed to improving Honey Run Golf & Country Club on a daily basis. You can help us improve Honey Run too by keeping your carts on the cart path at all green and tee locations and fixing your ball marks even during these winter months. With your help and cooperation we can continue making Honey Run the best public course in the area!
