Kafka Granite

Founded in 1979, Kafka Granite has grown to become one of North America’s most diversified producers of specialty aggregates and natural stone products.

When prestigious golf courses such as Erin Hills, Aronimink Golf Club, Whistling Straits and Union League National Golf Club were looking to cut down on maintenance of their pathways and bunkers while preserving a natural look and feel, they all turned to Kafka Granite. The company’s patented, erosion-resistant wax coated pathway material and wax-coated bunker sand have been developed to specifically meet two demands that have been pain points for countless superintendents – they are aesthetically pleasing and require very little maintenance, even on the steepest of slopes.

Both products consist of a polymeric wax coated aggregate, with each individual granule of stone dust coated in wax. With water unable to penetrate the material, it still maintains a natural look and feel while eliminating mud, dust and erosion. Designed to be self-installed with minimal maintenance, Kafka’s wax coated pathway material and wax-coated bunker sand saves grounds crews valuable hours and dollars.
