Drainage 4th Fairway

Four years ago we replaced a section of the main drainage pipe down the left-hand side of the 4^th fairway that had become damaged by tree roots. The tree roots were restricting the flow of water and causing flooding to the main fairway landing area.

Recently we have been experiencing extensive flooding in front of the 4^th green and after further investigations we found that tree roots have now damaged and blocked a large section of drainage pipe alongside and behind the 4^th green.

To help alleviate this flooding we have decided to replace this damaged section of pipe-work with a new 160 mm diameter solid pipe.
