They really do vary depending on the course and hole I find. Living in the North West of England and playing all the courses of round Southport and Lytham and several wales and Scotland links courses they really are some of my favourite courses around. Ignoring Scotland as I've never played up there, which are your favourite links? Out of the ones I've played on the England Golf Coast and North Wales mine are Wallasey, Hesketh, Hillside, Conwy and Royal St Davids. That's about half of the ones I've played. Nefyn & District is a breathtaking course, but I wouldn't say it's a true links. You be able to play Wallasey in game soon.....Lidar version

Fantastic. I should play better on the TGC version than I did in real life.

Just thinking outside the box, has anyone tried using a retaining wall method to create one and then kind of mound over the top? Never tried a pot bunker myself and just spitballing here, but that would be my first idea.

Never tried a pot bunker myself and just spitballing here, but that would be my first idea. I've tried this morning using a retaining wall and fences but I think the result I can create looks crap. I remember seeing somebody post photos were they made pretty decent pot bunkers, but I can't remember if it was on this forum or the official one. I've had a quick look just but as I'm at work I can't spend long looking. Can anyone give advice how it was done please?

Thanks Yeltzman. I think I'll just leave the fairway running into the bunker then without retaining wall/fences/any other to get a proper pot bunker look. I'd rather the size and shape be right and not have the straight face look.

Hi All,
Are are your opinions on depth of fairway pot bunkers? Building a Links at the moment with throws to Trump Aberdeen. Certainly the courses I've played, if you go in a fairway pot bunker, you cry a little bit and the just wedge it out.
Is that deemed unfair in TGC? The fairways are generous and everyone is so good at driving in this game, I feel they should be quite penal!

Some might not find it as fun, but you're right, for the better players it would be a welcome challenge.
