Sports sands

Golf – Bunker sand: Many of the UK’s top golf courses – such as Wentworth in Surrey, host of several European PGA Tour events – opt for Bucbricks silica sand. .

With a lime content of less than 0.2 per cent and with its rounded particle shape, Bucbricks’ White Medium Silica Sand is extensively used to create attractive bunkers at some of the leading golf clubs in the south of England. From an aethestic point of view, the sand’s natural whiteness makes a stark and eye-catching contrast with the greens and fairways.

Other golf sands: This low lime content sand is also ideal for brushing-in and top-dressing tees and greens.

Top Dressing: 0/2mm (medium grade) sand is used to promote healthy turf growth at golf courses.

Synthetic Sports Turf: The 0/.5mm (30D) and .5/1mm (16/30) grades of dried sand are used to add stability and drainage for synthetic tennis courts.
