International courses with no sand bunkers
« on: August 16, 2013, 03:42:10 PM »
There are some courses in the UK that have no sand bunkers at all. Names that get mentioned within this category include Kington, Royal Ashdown Forest and my favourite, Minchinhampton Old.

There must be some courses in other parts of the globe that also have no sand bunkers? What are their names and where are they located?

All the best.

Thomas, Pioneer Park in Lincoln, Nebraska is sans sand bunkers. Our own JeffBrauer did the renovation work there many moons ago.
