How To Get Pro-Looking Bunkers for Residential Golf Greens

Creating a professional-quality golf bunker isn’t limited to large courses — with the right expertise, you can bring that same precision and aesthetic into any residential landscape. At GameOn Turf, our skilled installers specialise in crafting realistic, durable bunkers that look and perform like those found on top-tier golf courses.

Our team recently transformed a muddy farmyard in Waitoa, Waikato into a stunning 200m² backyard putting and chipping area. The highlight: a beautifully sculpted sand bunker designed with realistic contours, clean lines, and premium materials. The installation provides not only reliable drainage and stability but also the authentic texture and performance golfers love.

What truly sets GameOn Turf apart is the level of expertise behind every project. Our in-house installers are internationally-trained in golf-course construction principles, ensuring each bunker is shaped, edged, and finished to a professional standard. For larger or more complex projects, we collaborate with trusted golf course designers and shaping specialists, bringing world-class knowledge to residential and commercial builds alike.

The result is a low-maintenance, weather-resistant feature that enhances both play and landscape design — perfect for homeowners, architects, and landscapers looking to elevate outdoor spaces.
