Mount Merapi erupted in October of last year.

Many holes were left unplayable, causing the golf course to close late last year.

An aerial view shows the full extent of the damage.

Cleanup of the golf course began in December.

Some holes were untouched by the eruption.

A course worker surveys the damage in a cart.

The cleanup effort will include removing trees that were killed by ash.

Even golf balls were irrevocably damaged by ash.
