The Story Behind This New Bunker

When the course architect recommended a new sand trap on #8  we were concerned about changing the original Joe Lee design.

Everyone likes the look and, as we believe our course is likely the only executive course Joe's ever designed ,we want everyone to know that we're going to great lengths to adhere to the originality of Joe Lee's design principles.
