The cart path at 9 green was given a new look last week. Two drains were located along the edge of the path that drained into the existing drainage basin. Those drains had worn from constant cart traffic and needed to be replaced. We also wanted to give a look that was more consistent with other cart paths on the course.
It is important to have a drain along cart paths to catch access water from irrigation and rain that collects on the cart path and runs to the end. Rather than have that water run off into the rough, a drain is preferred to move that water underground. In this spot, the soil was removed and a gravel blanket with small drainage tile was installed to move the run-off water to the basin that was in place.
