We're happy to report that Phase One of the bunker renovation project is complete!
Despite several significant rain events this season, the new drainage and liner system has performed exceptionally well, proving the value of these improvements.
From a financial standpoint, this year's project totaled just over $113,000 in expenses. Thanks to the incredible generosity of our members and supporters, $114,000 was contributed to the Community Fund. Of that, $56,512.82 was applied to this year's project costs, with the remaining expenses covered through the golf course operating budget. Phase One also included resizing several bunkers and removing a number of obsolete traps to improve playability and course maintenance.
Looking ahead to 2027, our goal is to resize the bunker on Hole #18 and renovate the remaining 11 bunkers. The City is positioned to reimburse approximately $40,000 toward the project, leaving an estimated funding gap of $36,000. If you haven't yet had the opportunity to contribute—or are able to make an additional gift—we would greatly appreciate your support of the Community Fund as we work to complete this important project.
Finally, we'd like to thank everyone who volunteered their time this season. We were a bit short on able-bodied volunteers this year, and every helping hand makes a difference. If you're unable to contribute financially, please consider donating a few hours next season. Your time and effort are invaluable, and together we can continue improving Pokegama Golf Course for everyone to enjoy.
