Sand Trap Creation in Back Yard?

[Von von]

I’m new to the site and thought I searched all areas although I could have missed a posting as I’m still learning.  Anyways, my husbands and boys (13 yr old & 16 yr old) LOVE golf.  We live in the danbury, ct area and I would like to have a sand trap created for them.  Anyone know of anyone or a company that does that in the NY/CT area?  Thanks for any insight.  Great site😄

Welcome to TST!

Start with a local golf maintenance superintendent. See what their expertise is in creating a sand trap and the materials, cost, machinery, etc. They may also have a better idea of what landscape company may have that expertise. Or you may be able to hire out the maintenance staff at the course during the off season.

Welcome to TST.    Sand traps and their maintenance are one of the more expensive parts of a golf course.    Do you have a budget in mind?  Please keep us informed, I'm interested in your journey here.

I too have thought of building one in the backyard, but here in Eastern NC, the courses never really close and there are tons of public beach sand to practice in the off beach season.  Still will be following this thread to see how the project goes.
