Having a golf course in the climate we do is extremely challenging in many different ways, one of which, is growing a cool season grass on southern facing bunker surrounds. These areas are always problematic due to the excessive sun exposure throughout the summer months coupled with a sand layer that builds up overtime. The picture below shows the overall decline of the turf on the southern facing slope. This is an ongoing issue, but switching to turf-type tall fescue instead of Kentucky bluegrass and removing all the sand built up will help reduce the overall stress level of the turf.
