Prior to the advent of bunker liners, bunker designs and styles were produced with little regard to maintenance efforts. With the constant pressures of controlling labor costs, all maintenance schedules have become closely scrutinized. Now that bunker maintenance has become such a critical concern, facilities are forced to define their action plans related to bunkers.

In the past, facilities were forced to refine bunkers, reducing the strategic or aesthetic characteristics of the course. Alternatively, some courses tinkered with various drainage techniques or geotextile fabrics. Neither option produced a completely optimal result.

With the successful adoption of Sandtrapper into the design and build phases of bunker contruction/renovation, facilities now enjoy the best performance without scacrificing the strategic function of bunkers. Most architects now recommend Sandtrapper bunker liners as a valuable part of any bunker project. With the contraint of labor pressures loosened, designers can now pursue the right designs that make each golf course unique, offering the balance of risk/reward to the golfer.
