"After 12 inches of rain the last two months, we took care of our bunkers today...64 perfect bunkers. Couldn't have done it without Better Billy Bunker on site. Members should be proud of their investment. Best bunkers in our market."
Jeff Sexton, CGCS
General Manager
Evansville Country Club - Evansville, IN
Billy Fuller spent decades as a Golf Course Superintendent, including at one of the most scrutinized championship courses in the world. Faced with chronic bunker drainage failures and unsustainable labor demands, he developed what became known as the Enhanced Bunker Drainage Method.
In 2009, the patented Better Billy Bunker Method™ was introduced, leveraging our proprietary ST410 Polymer. The revolutionary method locks a gravel layer in place, delivering over 2,100 inches per hour of drainage capacity while eliminating liner failure entirely.
Every climate. The same proven method.
From excavation to final sand placement, every BBB installation follows a precise, engineered sequence refined over 30+ years and 2,000+ bunker installations worldwide.
-
01
Excavation & Drain Inspection
Excavation across the full bunker floor. Existing drain tile inspected and reused if functional.
-
02
Locally sourced gravel
Precision-graded local gravel (3/16"–3/8") placed 2 inches deep — the drainage engine of the system.
-
03
ST-410 Application
Polymer applied by certified local installer, binding the gravel into a durable drainage layer. Water passes at 2,100 inches per hour.
-
04
24-Hour Cure & Quality Control
Every square foot quality-controlled by the certified installer before sand installation begins.
-
05
Approved Sand Installation
Tested and approved bunker sand installed to proper depths.

Real courses. Real results. Better Billy Bunker.
Testimonial
From major championship venues, to private clubs, to municipal courses.
"On a positive note, the better Billy Bunker system that was installed during the 2021 golf course renovation performed phenomenally. Other than debris removal, bunker repair will be minimal, and no sand replacement will be necessary. Having the Better Billy Bunker System in place not only saved us hundreds of hours of labor to repair bunkers, but it also protected the stability of the bunker faces."

Darren Davis, CGCS

Olde Florida GC - Naples, FL
"We could not be happier with the performance of our Better Billy Bunkers. We have had tremendous results on the Lower since the installation in 2020. We look forward to opening the Upper Course in the spring of 2025 with all 36 holes now completed."

"Two and half inches of rain this morning... we've got a lot problems today, but reparing bunkers isn't one of them. To be honest, we have had very little sand move in years. We're very happy with the system and if you're considering a bunker liner, we'd certainly recommend Better Billy Bunker for your course."

James Sprankle, CGCS
Head Superintendent
The Loxahatchee Club - Jupiter, FL
"This never gets old... the Billy Bunker drainage system serves multiple purposes at London Hunt Club - rapid infiltration while preventing sub-grade contamination. 3.2" of total rainfall with most coming in 30 minutes. Better Billy Bunker did its job. it's not always about the wash, but the contamination... we're good to go tomorrow."
