The area in the middle of the third fairway had become a mess due to constant waterlogging, machinery and golf traffic. Therefore we took the opportunity this winter to dig it up and repair it.

The ditch on the right hand side then runs through pipework under the 3rd fairway into a large pipe network, eventually entering the ditch on the 13th. We dug up the top surface to reveal the original drain stone layer.

We then took the opportunity to install another shallow drain on top of this to ensure water could escape more quickly. We used 100mm pipe and gravel and then filled the rest of the trench with composted soil, ready for new turf. We installed an inspection pot so that we can rod the pipe to remove any silt blockages.
