I played Painswick (Gloucestershire, England) yesterday.... a course with no bunkers! But wow! Well, no bunkers unless you count the huge old stone quarries, and a 2,500 year old Iron Age Fort.
There are five holes in this Iron Age fort.
The 5th (par 3) is in the bottom left hand corner of the fort.

And from the ground it looks like this!
Ha! It says that it is possible to get a hole in one. In your dreams! The hole is down on the other side in a very deep bowl in the centre of the fort, with a little aiming marker on the top of the hill. (I got a par!)
From the white tees it looks even more daunting.
Once up there on the top of the hill fort, there are 60 mile plus views south, west and north. Awesome!
Lots of phenominal holes like this on the course... and not a single bunker, but acres of trouble.
