Using over 1500m² of Exposa® decorative concrete in Golden Barley 01, installed on the Dunluce course in 2017 and the Valley course in 2025.
The Challenge
Both courses experienced ongoing issues with the traditional stone paths, which created challenges for golfers and maintenance teams due to uneven surfaces and obvious signs of wear. Especially for The Open in 2019 and again for the 2025 Open, with over 278,000 visitors expected, it was crucial that the courses be in top condition.
Our Solution
A low maintenance, quick turnaround, quality, long-lasting decorative concrete path - Exposa® in Golden Barley 01 was chosen to match the local natural surroundings. Having proven its performance in 2017 for the Dunluce course, it was the perfect fit for the Valley course.
The Result
- Deputy Course Manager
“As Deputy course manager, I couldn’t be more pleased with the Exposa®paths. They are the solution to every problem we had with the stone paths. They are low maintenance, hard wearing and the colour blends perfectly into the natural surroundings. The paths handle everything from tractors to heavy foot traffic, without showing signs of wear, unlike the regular stone paths, with unevenness and potholes forming. We are expecting over 278,000 members of the public to be using these paths for The Open and no doubt Exposa®was the perfect choice.”
- Royal Portrush Golf Member
“As a member of the club, I have to say the Exposa®paths are a fantastic upgrade. Compared with the stone paths, they are smoother and make for a more enjoyable round. Whether I am walking or using a buggy, the journey between courses is more comfortable, stable and there is no worry of unevenness or getting messy in the rain. It is clear our club are investing in quality improvements. It is great to see it lasting so well on the Dunluce course and more recently being the choice for the valley course. A big thumbs up from me!”
