Bunkers
Please put more sand in the bunkers. There are two bunkers around every green- they need to be playable this is my only issue.

Course is only playing Front Nine twice at present time. That created backlogs at numerous holes. Constructions has been ongoing for months at end! Really wish they could finish up the project as this course is really one of my favorites!
