It really does have a element of rustic beauty and the bunkers do seem to have nice relationship to the distant hills.
I like the description of the "verticle cleaveing of bunkers". Now, that is a bit of a unique bunker design, probably given the construction technique they employed to work in that soil. This demands that Slag or Dan come on here and describe their construction technique of these bunkers. The last photo really shows the nature of their approach to scraping out a bunker site in the apparently clayey soil. Will they wish to maintain the "cleaved out" edges as raw soil or hope to plug in or somehow establish fescue mix or native wheatgrasses in the exposed-cleaved bunker edges? Or.... is this possibly a place where eventually, stacked sod walls might be employed on the greenside faces, with open soil FW side entrance into the bunkers?
this bunker appears to show a higher cleaved edge on the outward side away from the green, with the line of play coming in from the back side of the photo. Thus, a ball off line could very well end up hard against the back side wall of the bunker. Could that not be so challenging of a backswing of any ball within about 18" as to require a bunker blast sideways or even backwards? Not that if that be the case, that it is a bad thing, but unique and puts the word hazard very much in play.
BTW, what is the origin and composition of that bottom of the bunker sand?
Inquiring minds want to know, Norby!
