GOLF COURSES wasted away into sandy faces and became very irregular. The new design ensures consistency across the course, maintains the intended challenge that golfers face from the bunkers, delivers a sharp, natural aesthetic and will do all these things for many years without significant maintenance,” continued Strachan.
Bunker walls on the course now range from 60cm to a dramatic 1.8 metres. Installed by Sports Turf Construction with support from EcoBunker Australian distributor
Turfcare Australia, the system adapted to every design challenge across the four phase project.
“ The course takes inspiration from the world’ s great links courses,” Strachan concluded.“ We’ re particularly proud of our interpretation of the famous‘ Hell Bunker’ from the 14th at St Andrews. EcoBunker gave us the stability to create an intimidating, visually striking feature that will stand the test of time. After building 100 + EcoBunkers at Kennedy Bay, I’ ll be looking to use this technology wherever possible in future projects.”
