At my home course all traps are played as waste bunkers. Is there a lot of maintenance involved with keeping them up? I've heard people say that the cold winters up here make it hard to have good ones, but I don't understand why they couldn't get them nice with a bit of work in the spring.

Anybody have any course maintenance experience that can tell us why good sand bunkers are rare on cheaper courses?

A lot of courses don't want to spend the money needed to do more than fill it with sand and drive the rake-cart thing around it once every few days. Courses who aren't after a reputation as a top-notch course don't need perfect bunkers.
