Bunker/Leisure Sand for Golf Bunkers

In expansive golf courses, conspicuous features are the sand-filled divots known as bunkers, strategically positioned as hazards for golfers. Reputable golf courses commonly utilize Bunker/Leisure Sand for filling these bunkers, owing to its tailored texture and practical advantages. Its affordability in procuring large quantities makes it a preferred choice, ensuring ample coverage across the course without financial strain while ensuring golfers' comfort during play.

The specific texture of Bunker Sand is finely tuned for golf, offering an optimal bounce for golf balls upon impact. Its smooth consistency facilitates the effortless movement of golf clubs through the sand, resulting in deeper and more natural divots compared to coarser sands, enhancing the challenge for players. This unique property contributes to a seamless golfing experience, where the sand behaves predictably, aiding in maintaining the integrity of the game.

Furthermore, the medium-fine nature of Bunker Sand minimizes the effort required for maintenance tasks like raking, streamlining course upkeep and ensuring a pristine playing surface for golfers. Its manageable texture allows for easy manipulation, facilitating efficient course management practices.

For smaller projects or localized needs, our Soft Play Sand is available in convenient 20kg bags, offering flexibility and suitability for various applications. Alternatively, for larger-scale endeavours, bulk bags accommodating approximately 850kg of sand are also readily available, catering to the diverse requirements of golf course maintenance and other landscaping projects.

What are the different Sand options?

Before making a sand purchase, it's essential to understand key information about this versatile material. Sand comes in a diverse range of types, readily available at landscaping and building supplies centres. Selecting the right sand for your project is crucial, as different landscapes necessitate distinct textures.

Sand is a naturally occurring substance formed over millennia from crushed and eroded rocks. To qualify as sand, the grains must fall within the size range of 0.6mm to 2mm. Despite the apparent abundance of sand, especially evident in vast quantities at beaches and golf courses, its availability is not infinite. Over time, sand may become scarcer, prompting the exploration of alternative, environmentally friendly materials and methods.

The sand supplied by us and most builders' merchants undergoes specific quarrying for commercial purposes. Consequently, it undergoes rigorous testing and thorough screenings to ensure its suitability for large-scale applications. Screening is particularly crucial to eliminate sharp objects and unwanted debris from the sand, ensuring safety and quality in its use.

Bunker/Leisure Sand stands out with its light beige colour, enhancing visual appeal and simplifying selection among different sand varieties. Various sands serve different purposes, and colour plays a significant role in distinguishing them. For instance, the darker and more orange the sand, such as 'Orange Building Sand,' the higher its iron content. This colour variation underscores the importance of paying attention to sand hues when choosing the right type for a project.

Sand types like 'Builders Sands' find common use in bricklaying and lining ponds due to their specific properties. Plastering sand, when combined with water and cement, yields a versatile substance suitable for various landscaping applications. Understanding the diverse characteristics and applications of different sand types ensures optimal selection and utilization in construction and landscaping projects.

Alongside the Bunker/Leisure Sand, we also supply Soft Building Sand, Orange Building Sand, Washed Plastering Sand and Silver Play Sand.

PLEASE NOTE: While every effort has been made to ensure our sand is free from contamination; there is always the chance that there may be small pieces of debris present. Please ensure you handle the sand with care when using it.
