GripClad was the right investment for Boston West Golf & Appletree Country Park

Boston West Golf and Appletree Country Park

At Boston West Golf and Appletree Country Park, they are proud to endorse GripClad and are the first, in the Away Resorts group of 27 holiday parks, to own a golf course, with more to hopefully follow in the future.

Their Head Greenkeeper, Ian Robins, recommended they use GripClad. He said:

“I have been greenkeeping for 30 years. I’ve found GripClad to be by far the best surface for steps and steep inclines on paths. Even during the hardest of frosts, GripClad has always outshone other materials that I have used. I cannot recommend it higher! Great product!”

Additionally, Phil Chantry, Assistant Head Greenkeeper, said:

“GripClad performs brilliantly in the hardest of frosts and even in light snow it still provides a good level of grip”.

Boston West Golf and Appletree Country Park understand that health and safety are paramount. In their search for affordable improvements, GripClad has proven to be the cost-effective, durable, anti-slip solution they’d been hoping for. Their Compliance Manager, Tracey Jones fed back to us about their recent experience with GripClad.

A STILE OF SAFETY

These get slimy with a build-up of algae and moss and are extremely hazardous when constantly wet through constant rainfall of late.
