When prestigious golf courses such as Erin Hills, Aronimink Golf Club, Whistling Straits, and The Club at Lac La Belle were looking to cut down on maintenance of their pathways and bunkers while preserving a natural look and feel, they all turned to Kafka Granite. The company’s patented, erosion-resistant Wax Polymer Pathway Mix and Wax Polymer Bunker Sand have been developed to specifically meet two demands that have been pain points for countless superintendents: they are aesthetically very pleasing and require very little maintenance, even on the steepest of slopes. Both products consist of a polymeric wax coated aggregate, with each individual granule of stone dust coated in wax. With water unable to penetrate the material, it still maintains a natural look and feel while eliminating mud, dust, and erosion. Designed to be self-installed with minimal maintenance, Kafka’s Wax Polymer Pathway Mix and Wax Polymer Bunker Sand saves ground crews valuable hours and dollars.
