Tom, me, too.

Some others, mostly compliments of Pete Dye, as I would include many of Whistling Straits, and the numerous pot bunkers he has created with barely enough room to swing.  Add in the infamous Tip O'Neil bunker on 16 at PGA West.

Hurdzan has the deep fw bunker at Devils Pulpit (or paintbrush, now I forget which)

I can nominate some of my own from the Quarry in Minnesota, where we left sand mining scars,  some of which are 30 feet deep.

Some of the Strantz bunkers at Tobacco Road qualify.

The 8th at Stone Eagle is great. It's hard to believe that was a ravine at one time. More proof that many here don't really understand what minimilism actually means.

A duffed tee shot on the 9th at Friar's Head. I feel that bunker is more akin to a wave of sand--one huge wave getting to it's peak and ready to start tubing like the giants off the North Shore of Hawaii.

I've taken on the 6th at Pac Dunes, and it's a thrill. I've both defeated it and lost to it.

There is something about a bunker and it's ferocity. It has to be perfectly placed to really define itself--similar to the 9th at Rustic Canyon--this huge blow-out. It doesn't really come into play you see and it is just this great huge bunker that never gets much love.  I used to think that until one rainy day, with my hand slipping-off of my club, kerplunk into that sea of sand.

The Beast Bunker at Rustic could also apply. It's actually smaller then the DA, but it is without doubt inspired the West coast version.

I usually moan in pain, screaming the words, New Jersey everytime I hit my second shot at Rustic Canyon's 13th. I've probably been in that bunker more then anyone. It's like a huge golf ball magnet is in there just for me.

Then there is one of the most perfectly placed bunkers in golf--the 10th at Lehigh. What a green too!

Wow, I must be on a roll when I can forget about the fairway bunker on the 8th at Stone Eagle that quickly!  Ryan:  It's only about a 240-yard carry off the back, but the consequences of missing are pretty severe.

240 - wow.

Our genius forecaddie (Tommy and both Davids can attest to his qualifications and past experiences with him...) that I should not attempt to clear it.  Didn't realize I'd have a fighting chance of doing so with a 5 wood.

A hell of a bunker at 240 or at 280 (and no pun is intended)

...Hurdzan has the deep fw bunker at Devils Pulpit (or paintbrush, now I forget which)...

It's Paintbrush. It's the par 5 17th now I think. It used to be the 8th. Hurdzan claims it may be the largest sod wall bunker in the world. I think the wall gets to about 15 feet high.

I'm hoping to make the fiercest in Texas.
That is my 17 year old brother in the middle of a very rough shape.

Mike:

Hard to tell much about the hole from the picture, but if the green is straight ahead and the landform on the left is a "cape" in the bunker, I would make it a lot lower so you can get in or out there.  As-is, it's a very bulky landform ... which is okay, as long as you've got a lot more of those around the course, but otherwise it looks kind of weird.

I can't wait to see you in it also...

The bunker does not directly face the tee or line of play.  Your recent post about natural bunkers looking more natural when not pointing towards every tee, helped me sure up my decision to do so.
The bunker will look biggest when standing on the edge of the fairway in the landing area (as in the photo) or when inside.
The direct line of play for the hole is across the edge of the bunker.
The bunker makes up a large transistional area - there will be no other bunkers like this one.
The best part of the hole is the green and approach - which can be better navigated by playing from near the bunker.  
I plan on doing more work to the shape, which was built by Don and Clayton one Sunday afternoon when they needed a little fun.

We have named it infierno.

The owner has two dogs, Diablo and Demonio - I wonder where they will be hanging out...

Any pictures available of the bunkers you guys have nominated?

Some bunkers are fierce because their design makes extrication difficult, while other bunkers are fierce because of the terror that lay outside of them.

Right side 17th at Sand Hills!

Most of us have probably not seen enough golf courses to properly answer this question, but for fun........

I also nominate the 4th at SH, that looks like a mountain you have to hit over to get out of it.....

the greenside complex on the 13th at Pacific is also very demoralizing

Whistling Straits 6th Hole....Gremlin's Ear, I'm in the canal!

Note: I'm 6' 6"!!! It's a deep bunker.
