15 and cart paths. After years of deferred maintenance and erosion by the harsh Las Vegas elements, bunkers had become an eyesore and unplayable, mostly contaminated with stones and gravel from severe erosion and poor maintenance practices. The condition of the bunkers was at a level that would require complete reshaping, new drainage and an advanced bunker liner to fully update them to modern standards. Schrock’s previous experience in renovation projects led the club to select construction company Fusion Golf to handle the renovation process and restore the bunkers to their former glory. After extensive research, Schrock then reached out to ZLine Bunker Systems to supply a liner that was best suited to the new bunkers and to protect the club’s investment. ZLine's High Line product was selected to minimise sand movement and erosion within the bunkers and protect them from subsurface erosion that plagued the course previously. “The liner is designed to hold sand in place on steep slopes and faces and eliminate sub-surface erosion and contamination,” said Casey Jones, national sales manager at ZLine Bunker Systems. “It also includes a standalone edging product that protects the bunker edge from deterioration. Backed by a 15-year warranty, the affordable product offered the best option for the renovation.” The renovation has delivered several key benefits for the club, including reduced maintenance costs, improved playing conditions for club patrons and the ability to reappropriate funds previously wasted on bunker maintenance and materials to other areas of the course that are still in need. Due to the protection of ZLine Bunker Systems’ liners, the newly renovated bunkers will continue looking new for years to come, enabling the club to continue moving forward in its rebuilding process.
