## A Monumental Undertaking by the Numbers

In recent months, our dedicated restoration teams have achieved extraordinary feats across every hole, every fairway, and every detail of the course. Here’s a look at what has been accomplished:

- **127 bunkers** have been completely renovated, each now featuring advanced drainage systems and new liners. To restore their pristine condition and playability, we used an impressive **4,655 cubic meters of sand**.
- **70 teeing areas** have been revitalized, using **679 cubic meters of sand** to ensure optimal texture, alignment, and elevation across the course.
- **18 holes of new cart paths** have been installed, improving the player experience and preserving the landscape. This critical infrastructure upgrade required **2,360 cubic meters of concrete**.
- **14 fairways** were **sand-capped** using **4,487 cubic meters of sand**, enhancing drainage and turf quality for peak year-round conditions.
- **5 reinforced retaining walls** have been constructed to fortify the course’s coastal edges and structural integrity, further protecting Dye’s original vision against the elements.

These enhancements are not mere maintenance—they are a reaffirmation of our commitment to offering the most breathtaking, challenging, and unforgettable golf in the Caribbean.
