I could probably mess around for a few hours and figure out a method for this but if someone has a bullet proof method they use I would be really grateful for a quick method tutorial.
I'm very au fait with all the sculpting tools so just a quick written method would really help please!
Ideally I'm looking for that Seth Raynor kind of look please

I guess it depends on the shape of your bunkers, but for rectangular-shaped or L-shaped bunkers, I use the hard-edge square brush and just advanced-edited it into a rectangle shape. Then I made sure the edges of the bunker were inside the border of the brush when I used the flatten command. For L-shaped bunkers, I just broke the bunker up into sections and flattened one part of the bunker at a time, making sure that each section was level with the next. One important thing to note is that you need to leave ample space (more than you think you need) between the bunker and the fairway/green to avoid sculpting issues. Tagging joegolferg who does these types of bunkers on just about all of his courses.

Tagging joegolferg who does these types of bunkers on just about all of his courses. Joe is definitely the best resource for those bunkers but I did a bunch on Greenbrier Old White. The key is to know that the bunker texture automatically makes the middle of the bunker depressed even if you start with a flat terrain. I found it best to make the bunker I am building using a fairway or lt rough texture. Get the shape and depth you want, then raise the center of the bunker about 1 to 1.5 ft with the fuzzy brush. Then change the texture to bunker and it will be pretty flat. Play around a little.

I thought b101 did a tutorial on those but he must’ve buried it somewhere or it was on a stream

landscape flatten tool, make the brush bring up the land somewhere between 1'3" and 1'7", use it on the bottom of the bunker. Shrink fuzzy brush to the tiniest size and make it go down to around 0'7" Down, click and drag around the sides of the bunker till it's relatively flat. fine tune from there

Shrink fuzzy brush to the tiniest size and make it go down to around 0'7" Down, click and drag around the sides of the bunker till it's relatively flat. fine tune from there eh. All you have to do is find where you want the height be. Then make sure it's a foot or so higher. Then use the pin or tee height to judge where your flatten tool was at for the previous flatten and go along the bunker raising/lowering the flatten tool as needed so it always starts at the same height as the previous one. Then, you can tune the edges. I tend use the sharpest edges circle for this. Also, it's usually best for the flat bunker to have a slight back to front slope to it, so raise or lower each side slightly with a large fuzzy brush to give that slight slope. Here is an example of these bunkers having that slight slope (Also, planting around the bunkers ends up shadowing these really well so they don't look very flat):

Is it released yet? Hey paddyjk19 , the course above is a collaboration between TeeeJ9798 and myself and we are still working on it currently . There is a version released from Design League a 6 hole routing called DL2.1_TanMan, so you check out the start of it .
