Recently, DecoGrass has installed a bunker in the Real Club Sotogrande Golf Course with the technology developed and used in clubs such as Club de Golf La Cañada, Real Club La Moraleja and Arcosur Golf Course.

After studying and analyzing different construction methods, they decided to use this technology because it is one of the best options to solve the problems derived from bunkers.

For the development of this material, the experience with the artificial grass on the putting green projects developed at Club de Golf La Cañada and Arcosur Golf marked the starting point but always taking into account that the demands or requirements that the base are different. While in the putting green the rolling or the absorption of the impact of the ball is the most important, in this case, it is to improve the drainage capacity by avoiding the displacement or runoff of the sand and the contamination of the same.

The key to the material developed by Decograss is the research that has been carried out to improve the water evacuation capacity depending on the surface of the bunker and to be able to adapt it to the climate of the area in which the golf course is located.

DecoGrass, being a company specialized in this type of system, has specific facilities, personnel and machinery and, above all, a long process of development and investment to achieve the best quality in this type of work. An example of this is the success achieved more than a year ago at the La Cañada golf course by installing this system in the bunkers of nine of its holes. The result was total satisfaction on the part of the club and bunkers that present, to this day, perfect playing conditions, regardless of the weather conditions.
