Golf Club Paving Solutions
Golf clubs require durable, safe and visually consistent paving solutions for walkways, entrances and high-traffic areas. Over time, these surfaces are exposed to constant footfall, golf buggies and changing weather conditions, which can lead to wear, surface damage and water pooling.
Abacus has delivered paving solutions for golf clubs across the UK, upgrading paths, access routes and entrance areas to improve safety, drainage and overall presentation. Our golf club paving systems are designed to perform reliably in wet conditions while maintaining a clean, professional finish throughout the year.

Common Golf Club Paving Challenges
Golf clubs often experience similar issues across walkways and access routes, including:
- Surface wear from repeated footfall
- Damage caused by buggies and maintenance vehicles
- Standing water and poor drainage
- Slippery surfaces during wet or icy conditions
- Ageing pavements that detract from the club’s appearance
Selecting the right paving system is essential to maintain safe access and protect the long-term condition of the site.
What Is the Best Golf Club Walkway Solution?
Abacus has found that SUDS Bond paving provides the most effective solution for golf club walkways and access routes. Golf courses are particularly susceptible to water build-up due to open landscapes and ground conditions, making drainage performance a critical factor.
SUDS Bond is designed to deliver extremely high drainage rates, allowing rain and surface water to pass through the surface and disperse naturally back into the ground. This helps reduce flooding, surface damage and long-term maintenance issues.
Top Reasons to Use SUDS Bond for Golf Club Pathways
- No risk of surface ice forming in winter due to excellent drainage
- Designed for repeated foot traffic in high-use areas
- Durable surface suitable for golf carts and buggies
- Smooth, seamless finish that is comfortable to walk on
- Meets accessibility requirements for wheelchair users
These characteristics make SUDS Bond particularly well suited to golf club environments where safety and usability are essential.
What Is SUDS Bond Made From?
SUDS Bond is formed using a blend of black rubber granules and decorative aggregates, bound together with a specially formulated moisture-curing polyurethane binder.
When installed on a suitable base, the surface:
- Forms a firm, resilient structure
- Provides good grip underfoot
- Remains fully porous
- Meets Sustainable Urban Drainage System (SUDS) requirements
- The surface has been independently tested for slip resistance and porosity.
Drainage Performance and Compliance
All SUDS Bond surfacing supplied and installed by Abacus is compliant with BS EN 14877 for water infiltration rate and exceeds the minimum requirement of 150mm per hour.
Available SUDS Bond blends include:
