the only thing I can think to suggest is to remember your distances when placing bunkers. try and place them close enough to each that opposing players have a chance of hitting each other and having the ball break. if the distance is too far the balls will just bounce off and any approach will just be a nightmare.

while that can be fun at times it'll make for long games and short days.

the pallets you used work great, any material you can get your hands are is fine just watch about leaving protruding nails. I don't know if you're considering any forts or towers but if you do make sure the support frames and any elevated standing surfaces are beefy. raw wood goes bad real quick in the woods after a couple of rain storms.

don't clear to many trails to start let them develop as you guys play this season, you'll know the terrain far more intimately then.

those dead fall bunkers you mentioned sound good and if you've got a lot of dead logs laying around you could always try doing a frontier style palisade wall. we used to lash two logs horizontally between two live trees and then lash a bunch standing up to the resulting framework. for that instead of rope I prefer bailing wire, once it's lashed you can give each hunk of wire an extra turn with the pliers to cinch it real tight, but like the nails watch out for protruding bits.

hope this helps and is the kind of suggestions you were looking for

Okay thanks if the snow let's up I may be taking some dirt to the field to make sand piles for bunkers
