The new Eco- bunker on the 3rd of Badgers Sett
This will mean CMGC has 7 eco bunkers with more to follow in 2025.
The new Eco- bunker on the 3rd of Badgers Sett has been edged up as seen in the photos. All that is needed now is adding sand and turfing the outer area. I am sure we can all agree the greenkeepers have done an amazing job on this

An eco-bunker is a type of bunker designed to reduce maintenance, environmental impact, and costs. Eco-bunkers use natural, sustainable materials and innovative technologies to create a more environmentally friendly golf course feature.

Eco-Bunker Features

Natural look: Blends in with the surrounding landscape

Low maintenance: Reduces the need for frequent raking and sand replacement

Erosion control: Helps prevent soil and sand erosion

Environmental benefits: Uses sustainable materials, reduces water consumption, and promotes biodiversity

Eco-Tech Liner

The Eco-Tech liner is a specialized, porous liner used in eco-bunkers to prevent erosion and reduce sand loss. This liner:

Prevents washouts: Keeps sand in place during heavy rainfall

Reduces sand migration: Minimizes the need for frequent sand replenishment

Promotes drainage: Allows water to drain through, reducing waterlogging

Environmentally friendly: Made from sustainable, non-toxic materials
The combination of eco-bunkers and Eco-Tech liners creates a sustainable, low-maintenance solution for golf courses, aligning with the goals of environmental stewardship and reduced ecological footprint.
