Myopia Hunt Club in Massachusetts has several steep sided bunkers. The have wooden steps to get in and out. But the comment the The Villages courses are made to speed up play looks to be true to me. TV is not interested in building difficult courses. They want to move people along and make them feel good by shooting low scores. And they have succeeded in that. Most of the players I’ve played with feel the same way. They move the ball in bunkers and in the rough. They take putts inside of five feet. They don’t care about rules. They are just there to have fun. And that’s OK.
