Default They aren't as high maintenance as greens...

Sand traps are high maintenance on any golf course. Everyone who has played much golf can see that the maintenance of traps in TV is minimal. However, the costs are high and a golf course, even with above average play, has a difficult time balancing the books. You can bet TV Courses have a budget and there is no plan to run a deficit!
if everyone would rake them properly after entering there'd be very few problems(except after a good storm). Of course perhaps 50 percent do so and that is the problem.
