Default Too much work

We have a putting green and put a small "sand trap" in with beach sand. It looks nice when it is first put there but then when it rains the sand seems to harden, much like the sand traps on the golf courses, and it doesn't look fluffy any longer. You need to add sand often if you want it to look fluffy. I like the effect for our putting green but to add sand in general landscaping I would stay away from that.
