Dakota Gold™ silica sand is mined south of Elgin, ND and processed at our Elgin plant. The sand meets and exceeds USGA specifications. The product can also be blended with Dakota Peat to hold water and nutrients for your greens. The golden sand color provides a natural appearance that appeals to the golf industry. Dakota Gold™ sand is made up of sub round shaped silica sand that is always quarried from the same source to ensure consistency and performance. Our sand is an environmentally friendly product with silica content that makes the sand hard and resistant to weathering and freeze-thaw conditions.

  Product Information
I selected Abrasives' sand because of the specifications that we desired to use and their willingness to produce that spec. We wanted sand that had great playing characteristics, a bright color contrast, as well as something that could be used for topdressing greens. We use the same sand for all our sand needs. The greens hold a shot well, they drain well, they withstand compaction, and they roll true, smooth and fast. We constantly hear how much players think the greens are great. We also hear from them that they love the playability of our bunker sand.
