Typical Grain Size Distribution for our Bunker Sand for Links Courses
Material complies with acceptable limits of sand size for golf bunkers on links courses as described in the Sports Turf Research Institute (STRI) publication "Sands for Sports Turf Construction and Maintenance".
For links courses, the STRI recommend that sands at the finer end of the grading be used in preference to those at the coarser end of the grading. Our Bunker Sand for Links Courses is therefore designed to sit at the finer end of the grading envelope.
