A Blast of The Past

 Hello Members of Oconomowoc Golf Club,

As we watch the rain fall from this last week, we wanted to give you a look into what this kind of rain would've done to the course pre bunker renovation!

Lake front property?

Belly flop or flop shot?


After even the smallest rain we knew that we would have to go and pump out the bunkers

Everytime we tried our best to get as much water out of the bunker as we could, but could never get it all!



Once the water was out we would have all hands on deck in order to push and shovel the sand back up on to the the face of the bunkers. This process was one of the most labor intensive and physically demanding . To do every bunker on the course could take as long as 3 days with all hands on deck, to then have the possibility to wash out again the next day!

Its safe to say that their are still lots of things that we are learning with the new bunkers but we are extremely happy with how they have stood up against the recent storms!

As always please reach out with any questions!
