Specific Comments on bunker construction – Sand bunkers do not last forever. Just like carpeting or a roof they need to be redone. Years of wash-out (erosion) after heavy rain has polluted the sand and slowed drainage. There are many new products available, which do two things; they prevent 90% of the washouts but if it does wash out the bunker sand stays clean. A properly rebuilt bunker with one of these newer products will help the bunker last longer, look better and be easier to maintain. While redoing sand bunkers can be expensive, a club will see a ‘return on investment’ because they are less expensive to maintain, and your club will benefit from word of mouth after golfers share how good they look and play.
