SandSave, LLC is an innovative leader in golf course maintenance solutions. SandSave addresses one of the most persistent challenges on the course: sand trap drainage.

Introducing SandSave!

Drain It.

Wash It.

Keep Playing.

One patented system drains your flooded bunkers in 90 minutes and washes contaminated sand clean in place — at a fraction of what renovation or sand replacement costs.

Every passive drain eventually clogs. Every storm leaves behind fines, algae, and organic buildup that degrade your sand and your playability. SandSave solves both problems with one unit your crew installs — no contractor, no reconstruction, no sand removal.

The Superintendent's Problem

Passive drainage systems clog within 2–3 seasons as fines and organics infiltrate the filter media (USGA data). Meanwhile, every heavy rain contaminates your sand and displaces your bunker profile — closing holes, consuming labor, and draining your maintenance budget on a recurring cycle. Both problems have one solution.

2 Powerful Benefits in 1 Solution!

Active Bunker Drainage

SandSave raises a physical drain through the sand, bypassing clogged filter media entirely, and routes standing water directly to your existing drain pipe. One Mobile Controller services every bunker on the course.

In-Place Sand Washing

Flood, rake, drain. Fines, algae, and organic buildup leave with the water. Clean sand stays in place. No excavation, no sand removal, no contractor. Bunker back in play the same day.

The Cost Case for SandSave...

Traditional Trench Drains

$12,500–$15,000

Per bunker
• 6–8 weeks
• Outside contractor
• Clogs within 2–3 seasons

Relies on filter media percolation. Requires partial rebuild when clogged. Course closed during install.

Better Billy / Capillary Concrete

$15,000–$25,000

Per bunker
• 8–10 weeks
• Major renovation
• High rebuild cost over time
Liner-based systems share the same long-term clogging vulnerability. Sand washing requires full excavation.

Sand Replacement (per cycle)

$3,400–$7,400

Per bunker
• Recurs every 3–5 yrs
• ~$1,855/yr average
• Recurring cost, never ends

Remove old sand, clean drain bed, replace filter media, and install new sand. Hole closed. Doesn't fix drainage.
