How Double Diamond Bunker Sand Rivals ProAngle Performance
Introduction:
When it comes to bunker sand performance, consistency and drainage can make or break a course. For years, ProAngle has been the industry standard for high-quality bunker sand—but that doesn't mean it’s the only option. Thelen Golf & Sport’s Double Diamond Bunker Sand is engineered to deliver the same elite-level performance as ProAngle, with the added advantages of local sourcing, cost-efficiency, and full in-house production control.
Precision-Engineered for Playability
Every grain of Double Diamond Bunker Sand is developed and refined on-site at Thelen’s facilities. With over 75 years of mining expertise behind it, this sand undergoes rigorous testing to ensure optimal particle size, shape, and drainage. The result? Bunker sand that maintains structure on steep surfaces and minimizes washouts after heavy rain—a common frustration for superintendents across the Midwest.
Comparable Performance, Local Advantage
ProAngle is well known for its angular shape and drainage capabilities, but it often comes with long lead times and shipping costs for Midwest courses. Double Diamond Bunker Sand matches that same angular profile and performance while being sourced directly from Northern Illinois. This local advantage reduces both transportation costs and environmental impact—all while providing faster turnaround and reliable availability.
Tested and Trusted by Leading Facilities
From golf courses to professional sports complexes, Thelen Golf & Sport supplies materials trusted by elite venues like Wrigley Field, Halas Hall, Soldier Field, and premier golf courses such as Erin Hills—host of major PGA tournaments. That same quality assurance extends to Double Diamond Bunker Sand, which undergoes detailed in-house performance testing for consistency, drainage rate, and color uniformity. Superintendents can trust they’re getting a product that stands up to both play and weather.
Backed by Experience, Refined by Innovation
Unlike many resellers, Thelen controls the entire production process—from mining to final blending. This full-cycle oversight ensures product integrity, reliability, and precision unmatched by third-party distributors. It’s not just sand; it’s the result of nearly eight decades of continuous improvement in material science and performance engineering.
