Sand traps are more than just a hole filled with sand and they are expensive to fix. My home course up here in the Northeast is undergoing complete refurbishment, including all 43 sand traps. The cost per trap is reportedly $20,000 each. Layers of rock, gravel and sand. You may not appreciate being in a sand trap, but you can appreciate what goes into making one properly.
