Sedona, Ariz. – Sedona Golf Resort in Sedona, Arizona recently completed a four-month, $400,000 golf course enhancement project. The project, which began in January, focused on updating the irrigation system and bunkers across the 37-year-old property. Sedona Golf Resort’s agronomy team oversaw the planning and management of the project with Henderson, Nevada-based Pro-Turf International executing the work.
During the project, a total of 39 greenside bunkers were rebuilt, while five-and-a-half bunkers were eliminated. The refreshed bunkers were refilled with 1,200 tons of premium Arizona 50/50 bunker sand, which has an off-white color. Crews also replaced the irrigation system’s eight-inch mainline (that was originally installed in 1988) on holes 11 and 13, and reconfigured irrigation lines on the practice range tee and on holes five and nine.
“The irrigation system upgrades will allow us to have more consistent irrigation cycles each night, which ultimately supports turf health to provide firmer and faster conditions,” said Sedona Golf Resort General Manager Jeremy Hayman. “Between the refreshed bunkers and improved conditions, golfers will definitely notice the enhancements.”
Owned by the Arizona Hideaway Collection and managed by Troon Golf, Sedona Golf Resort opened for play in 1988. The 6,646-yard, par-71, Gary Panks-designed course is set in the heart of Sedona’s red rock landscape and is renowned for its dramatic elevation changes and views of the surrounding red rock formations.
