Locked In Bunker Design

Ecobunkers survive hurricanes

A huge effort is expended on the design and construction of bunkers. Our conscientious staff have learned from many of the world’s best golf course designers and shapers. We’ve witnessed, first-hand how sometimes an adjustment of just an inch or two on a horizon line makes all the difference, transforming a bunker into a natural, aesthetically pleasing feature. However, it is so easy for bunkers to lose their intended shape, either by erosion, burrowing or even careless greenkeeping. Bunker maintenance, a laborious task, is often allocated to the youngest and most inexperienced.

Among dozens of under-sand liners, there are very few edging products available, designed to sensitively maintain bunker shape and integrity. Ecobunker Ltd has the best and widest range of edging and face options. They will last for 20 years and more, ageing beautifully.

How do we know? The recent events in the USA provide the strongest possible evidence. Secession GC President, Michael Gonzalez explains: ‘You’ll be pleased to know that our EcoBunkers at Secession have now survived Hurricanes Matthew (2016) and Irma (this summer)! Many filled with seawater. Skim the silt, add an inch of sand, a little raking and we’ll be back in business’.

Attention to edge detail preserves design intention, aesthetics, sand purity, consistency, drainage characteristics and ultimately a large amount of money. Built it once!
