Any idea how long that takes? A week, a month, six months?
Depends on the extent of the renovation. A couple of years ago my country club up north renovated the bunkers by digging them out, and then adding gravel, drainage lines, and a full concrete liner before adding the sand on top. Drains water very quickly, but you got to be sure to have plenty of sand over that liner. Perhaps here they are only dumping fresh sand in the bunkers.
