Preparation of bunker at Centurion Country Club in South Africa

Here we see a bunker being re-constructed and prepared for new bunker lining; the dilemma
facing the course superintendent is which type of liner is best for the bunkers at his course.

Before making this decision several factors should be taken into consideration including bunker
design, cost, longevity, future maintenance, playability, drainage, keeping sand on the face,
contamination and concern for the environment.

“No.1 is what type of architecture you’re dealing with,” says Brian Anderson, CGCS, at
Nemacolin Woodlands Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania. “No. 2 is the sand and the
base, like if you’re trying to keep white sand from being contaminated by the base soil.”

Sean Dyer, golf course maintenance director at Sherwood Country Club in Thousand
Oaks, California looks at lifespan, playing conditions and maintenance. “How is it going
to hold up over the years?” Dyer says. “How will it affect playability? How will it keep
contamination down, drain the water and keep my sand on the face?”

Does this type of bunker liner exist?

The answer is yes and it’s called “Bunkertac” and is available from
On-Course Solutions.

Bunkertac is an environmentally friendly sand stabilizer; it is a purpose-formulated binding agent
for soil and sand that when used in golf course bunkers forms a flexible, bound surface which has
a high-load-bearing and shear strength capacity while still allowing for proper filtration and
drainage of water. Used for sand flashing, the product holds the sand in place on the face and
edge, forming a neat, attractive lip that will not degrade. The key to its performance is its linear
molecular structure that is linked and cross-linked, which creates a stable bonding matrix.
