Pleasanton,
CA – October 2017 / Newsmaker Alert / Castlewood Country Club’s famed
Valley Course is in the midst of a bunker renovation project. The project
began on September 7th and is expected to be completed by the first week
of December. Castlewood Director of Agronomy, Lou Silveira, and the Castlewood
Golf Committee are overseeing the project, while crews from Heritage Links
Golf Course Construction are performing the renovation work.
The
bunker renovation project will enhance all Valley Course bunkers by adding
new drainage, liners and sand to each bunker, thereby improving the overall
playability of the bunkers. While the bunkers are being improved, the overall
goal of Silveira and the Golf Committee is to maintain the integrity of
the original course design and enhance the golf experience at Castlewood
Country Club.
During
the renovation project, 9 holes of the Valley Course will be closed at
a time to allow for crews to access the course and work without interference.
The front nine of the Valley Course is scheduled to be closed through mid-October.
When the front nine is complete, the back nine will be closed for renovation
work.

coming weeks.”
