No need for any rakes in sand traps - nobody uses them. Make greens as hard as possible so nobody has to repair dimples

Probably not far from the truth. The developer is in the business of jamming as many houses as possible into usable land first. Golf courses come second, on drainage land that is left over. The architect is left to use what the developer gives him. That's why all the new courses look pretty much the same. One boring design after another, and built for low upkeep and fast play.
