One of the major reasons to undertake the renovation of Leslie Park Golf Course back in the 1990's was to alleviate some drainage issues the course had.
This is a picture of #3 fairway before the renovation.
These exposed culverts were in the middle of the fairway. You can also see the ultra-modern cart barn that was immediately behind the green.
A large underground drainage system was put in across most of the front 9.
The culverts were removed.
The drains start at the pond on #8 and run through the low areas on #6, 5 and 4, before daylighting at a holding pond to the left of #4 fairway. It the flows through a culvert under the railroad, where it goes back underground across #3 and #1 fairway. This is on the left side of #4 fairway.
Here is a closer look at the cart barn behind #3 green as well as the new bunker to the right of the green.
