A bunker audit will look at:-
An audit will take in the region of 2 to 3 days to complete and will include:-
- bunker placement - does the bunker still provide the strategic challenge intended as when first constructed?
- construction style - are there deficiencies in the way the bunker is built? Does the bunker experience wash-outs or collect water? Would the bunker benefit from the use of a bunker liner or an alternative sand choice?
- aesthetic appeal - does the bunker add or detract from the overall presentation of the course?
- requirement for new bunkers - would a hole benefit from the addition of a bunker?
An audit will take in the region of 2 to 3 days to complete and will include:-
- An initial survey prior to visit using aerial photography to determine current bunker surface area.
- Existing bunker placement in relation to playing strategy / fairway mow-lines / topography / surface drainage.
- Existing bunker relevance to current playing requirements taking into account advancements in modern club and ball technology.
Additional survey work on a bunker by bunker basis will determine:-
- Any existing drainage / wash-out issues and potential drainage improvements.
- Any shaping modifications to improve bunker visibility, playability and aesthetics.
Report
Following the survey and analysis of the courses bunkers a hole-by-hole report is generated outlining:-
The report will utilise CAD representations using aerial photography illustrating current and proposed bunker placement alongside photo representations illustrating significant alterations and their affect on the holes aesthetics.
- Existing vs proposed bunker placement and impact on hole strategy.
- Existing vs proposed bunker construction style and impact on maintenance.
The report will utilise CAD representations using aerial photography illustrating current and proposed bunker placement alongside photo representations illustrating significant alterations and their affect on the holes aesthetics.
