An original pair of bunkers rested behind the 9th green when MacKenzie designed the golf course back in the 1920's. Over the years these bunkers were filled in and the area was landscaped. Additionally, a cartpath directing players to the 10th tee eliminated the furthest left side bunker. During the renovation of the golf course in the 2000s, these original bunkers were supposed to be put back to match the original design. There was no way to eliminate the cartpath to add a bunker and the club elected not to remove the necessary landscaping for the other bunker to be built. In the winter of 2009 the maintenance staff took out all the overgrown landscaping below the clubhouse and converted this area to native grasses. Jim Urbina, who has been instrumental throughout the restoration process came on-site on September 12th and carved out a new bunker on the back left side of the green complex. MacKenzie's vision was to alter the depth perception from a player's approach shot from the 9th fairway.
