Customer profile:

Nestled in northwestern Connecticut’s scenic Litchfield County, Bull’s Bridge Golf Club offers a unique golf experience. The Berkshire foothills provide an impressive panorama with spectacular views prominent throughout the property. The 18 hole, championship golf course was opened in 2004, and it quickly commanded the attention of the golf community. Designed by Tom Fazio, one of America’s foremost golf architects, the par 72 layout exemplifies his trademark design versatility. The golf course is currently ranked on the Best in State list compiled by Golf Digest magazine. With four sets of tees, two hybrid course layouts and yardages ranging from 5,300 to 7,000 yards, the course simultaneously appeals to and challenges players of all skill levels. The natural beauty and meticulous conditioning create a most memorable round for all who play.

Scope of work:

Porous Pave trained McDonald Golf’s staff members on bunker prep, set-up, mixing, installation and finishing of its Sand Guard Bunker Lining System.

The install:

The bunker renovation project and Sand Guard installation process took place over a short period of time to minimize course disruption.

Customer quote:

"At Bull’s Bridge Golf Club in South Kent, Connecticut, we selected to use Sand Guard liners for our Fazio designed bunker renovation project. We recently experienced an extreme 6.4 inches of rain overnight, and Sand Guard performed as advertised.

Little to no maintenance was required after the storm, night and day compared to our existing bunkers.

We considered several liner options during the project planning process, and after this rain event, I'm sure glad that we selected Sand Guard to help protect the Club’s new investment from the challenges of severe weather."

The result:

SG was selected for use, since Bull’s Bridge wanted proven performance with liners, especially when handling heavy rains and the freeze/thaw cycles prevalent to the Northeast. Sand Guard fit their needs as their “go to” poured-in-place bunker liner product.
