    Anyone know what is the current industry standard/cost per sq. ft. for bunker renovation/rebuilding is? I understand there are many variables - I do not need a bunker liner cost. Cost for french drain system included would be helpful. Can anyone throw me some cost per sq. ft. figures?

    Appreciate any responses!

    OK then :roll: ...if anybody has recently had their bunkers reconstructed or renovated, can you give me a total cost per square foot?

    Appreciate any responses!

    Not trying to hijack your post, but the industry "standard" for bunkers in general needs to change and I believe it will so.

    They are just plain too damned expensive to maintain. I would like to be raking mine 2-3 days a week maximum, less if I could, not edging, not making pretty and not worrying about them too much. There is an enormous budgetary savings to be had in them there sand traps. Biggest cost cutting measure available to us all in these difficult financial times.

    They are still a "hazard" as defined by the rules of golf and should be treated as such. This has been covered before, but it's time for a revolution.
