Review of Kedleston Park Golf Club<br />
Bunker Renovation Project
Kedleston Park Golf Club, Derbyshire<br />
Mackenzie & Ebert were appointed to advise the Club on the design of its course.<br />
This started with a historic research study that proved that their course was designed by<br />
J. S. F. Morrison of Colt & Company, Harry Colt’s design partner from the mid-1920s.<br />
It then went on to look at all of the bunkering, overall course length<br />
and green surrounds design and set-up.<br />
The report was produced in the summer of 2013.<br />
After member consultation work in October 2013, work started in the winter of 2013<br />
All of their bunkers were rebuilt over three winters.<br />

The course was not especially heavily bunkered and it was important not to increase the<br />
overall number of bunkers as the greenkeeping team is not large.<br />
Bunkers Before: 46<br />
Existing Bunkers Reshaped: 36<br />
Existing Bunkers Filled: 10<br />
New Bunkers: 10<br />
Final Bunker Count: 46<br />
The work was carried out using a specialist golf shaper who brought in a 13T excavator<br />
and a 6T dumper with flotation tyres.<br />
Club staff did all cultivation, turfing and drainage.<br />
Work was generally done between the start of November each year and the end of<br />
January, ready for re-opening for the following playing season.<br />

At the start of the work, the Club was in a healthy financial position,<br />
but the membership list was not full<br />
and they were not charging an entry fee.<br />
The Club promoted their work heavily and word spread.<br />
During year two of the work, the membership list was full<br />
and they had reinstated their entry fee.<br />
The Club also became the No 1 course in Derbyshire<br />
in the www.top100courses, co.uk rankings.<br />
They funded the work on the back of the additional membership revenue and entry fees.<br />
New members who joined were asked what attracted them<br />
and they all were attracted because it was a Club<br />
that was investing positively in its course.<br />
It has also been awarded Open Regional Qualifying from 2017.<br />
