Shapes looks good, I just don't like the ultra white sand there and basically everywhere since you lose all the shadows and it kill the depth perception of the bunker

Tony,

There's definitely a hint of Augusta National in these photos. Is it just me?

Hope all's well.

Jeff,
  The bunkering definatley is much better with smooth contours that are seemless into their surrounding areas. several fairwyas have been regraded for drainage purposes, but it has also given the fairways some very good, subtle contouring. It will be a much more complete golf course and a truely special place to play. It feels like a timless golf courses that has had it's shot values returned.
  The sand wasnt picked for its color. The playability, ability to set the sand up firm or soft and its ability to drain water are the reasons that sand was chosen.

Tony,

Thanks for sharing the pics. It's been a while since I've been there, and your comments regarding the addition of subtle fairway sloping is most intriguing to me. Which holes benefit the most from a strategic or aesthetic perspective?

Kudos
