Dramatic bunkers at The Olympic Club
March 21, 2016

San Francisco, CA

In late February, work on the bunker renovation began at one of our classic championship venues, The Olympic Club in San Francisco. GCBAA Certified Builder Frontier Golf was selected by Director of Golf Maintenance, Troy Flanagan to do the renovation work. Golf Course Architect Bill Love and his associate, Brian Kington were hired to add flair to the bunkering and create additional challenge around the greens…and WOW are they doing that!

CapillaryFlow was the bunker liner selected for the renovation based on several parameters:

1. The marine climate in San Francisco provides diverse weather patterns from damp and rainy in the morning to hot and sunny in the afternoon. CapillaryFlow can be installed in any climate condition as long as its not raining during the actual installation. Sand is installed the day after installation and sod is installed the next day to finish the complex

2. Each project receives a custom mix design based on local weather patterns, aggregate, golf course conditions. The product is homogenous and blended at the ready mix plant and brought to the golf course-its ready to install so there is minimal variability in the batch.
3. CapillaryFlow can be placed on extreme slopes, which allows the Golf Course Architect the creative license to showcase his craft.
