   Good afternoon. I am looking for some other solutions to concrete or asphalt cart paths. We are looking at doing a master plan and total renovation of my golf course. I was instructed to explore other options to save some money. I figured I would reach out to ya'll for your opinions, preferences and experiances.
   
   Thanks for your help

   Concrete screenings or, if you can get it in your area, Coquina. Both can provide a very natural look and feel when designed into the course setting. Both are playable as well.

   We use warning track material from Southern Red Rock. It blends in and packs well. Members love it. http://baseballfieldmaterial.com/?page_id=79

   I do not have experience with this product but talked to the manufacturer and another Super who has used it. It's used to build roads, primarily in developing countries from my understanding, but has been used for cart paths. Just a polymer that binds soil, DG, etc into a hard surface. I have Better Billy Bunkers, reminds me of their polymer I guess.

   Sam,
   Is the other Superintendent that used it in Georgia? I would love to see the finished product and see what the cost was.

   Unfortunately it's out at Los Angeles Country Club. Roger Myers put me in touch with his son Russ who's the GCS there.

   Slagg, a by-product from steel mills makes a great road and is very cheap if not free.
