Knighton Heath G.C.
Sketch for bunkering - Green 17
A complete overhaul of the course was carried out and it was agreed that
the problem of the bunkers had to be addressed first . The main problems with
the bunkers were:
a) location
b) wear and tear
c) affects of wind blow
d) sand splash
e) loss of original shape
Green 17 - completed
A programme of complete reconstruction was carried out and, to recapture
the heathland qualities of the course, heather was re-introduced to some of
the bunker banks. The new bunkers have greatly improved the strategic nature
and decision making required when playing the course, making it a true test
for the low handicap golfer.
