Begining in 2004, IVI-GOLF launched an Education Event Series named Bunker Boot Camp (BBC). At that time,we had coordinated the event with Super NEWS/TurfNet and conducted over 15 BBC's.

In 2008 and 2009, we converted the program to Bunkers360 and coordinated it with the GCSAA, during our Silver Partner program efforts.

We are now managing our traveling educational efforts ourselves and welcome opportunities to work with regional groups to bring bunker discussions, working panels, and hands-on activities to the marketplace.

Bunker Planning Overview

The Complete Bunker Toolbox should provoke discussion amongst your internal team so that options can be reviewed and decisions can be made. The contents of this Bunker Toolbox have been assembled through many contributions by architects, builders, professional organizations and industry suppliers. We thank them for their thoughts, advice, and counsel. Although this document contains very good and helpful ideas, it does not cover every aspect or circumstance that one can face.

The "Planning Guide" contains references to various documents located or linked in the Appendices. The Planning Guide contains most of the conceptual information. The Appendices have instructions and links to specific components of the Bunker Toolbox. It is important to state that every golf course is a unique product, with its own set of circumstances. Each bunker project will have its own solutions and considerations. A golf course should always seek the advice of trusted professionals, architects, and builders before proceeding with a project.
