Post-installation Q&A

Straight from the superintendents

Three courses, three different drainage problems. Here is what each superintendent told us once Hydrowick was in the ground.

Hydrowick trench and wick lines laid across a Nobleton Lakes fairway

With Superintendent

Jason Bindi

Nobleton Lakes Golf Club

Installation area

Holes 6 & 7 fairways (roughly 25,000 sq ft of Hydrowick)

What challenges led you to choose Hydrowick?: Our fairways had low areas in full shade during the shoulder season. That caused turf damage, tire ruts, cart restrictions and disease.
Why did you consider Hydrowick?: We chose Hydrowick for the wick action. It is constantly pulling moisture.
How did you find the results?: Since Hydrowick went into the 6 and 7 fairways, they have not been closed to carts. The turf quality is back and just as good as the rest of the course.
Would you recommend Hydrowick to fellow superintendents?: I highly recommend Hydrowick.

“The best thing about Hydrowick is that there are so many applications you can use it for. Greens, tees, fairways, rough…”

All putting green surfaces

What challenges led you to choose Hydrowick?: Turf loss after large rain events in hot, humid periods.
Why did you consider Hydrowick?: I believe it to be my best drainage option for (perwick) native soil greens.
How did you find the results?: Turf health has been better each year due to drainage.
Would you recommend Hydrowick to fellow superintendents?: I would highly recommend Hydrowick in areas dealing with heavy clay/perwick type greens.

“Since installing Hydrowick, no turf loss has occurred on greens that struggled every year. Green surfaces are better even in stressful times of the year, and I like the fact it won’t dry surfaces down too fast. I have seen it pull water out of greens 48 hours after a rain event.”

Bryce PoynterSuperintendent, Oak Meadow Country Club

Rows of Hydrowick laid across a Victoria Park green before backfill

With Superintendent

Jack Decorso

Victoria Park East & Victoria Park Valley Golf Clubs

Installation area

Valley greens: Lakes on holes 3 & 5, Pines on hole 6.
East greens: hole 13.

What challenges led you to choose Hydrowick?: Our greens had no subsurface drainage and were very wet in the spring and after heavy rain.
Why did you consider Hydrowick?: Turf health has been better each year due to drainage.
How did you find the results?: The results were obvious the next spring, with minimal disruption to play.
Would you recommend Hydrowick to fellow superintendents?: Yes.

“Matthew and his team were very knowledgeable, skilled and understood not to damage any turf while working and installing the Hydrowick. We will definitely use Hydrowick again if the need arises.”

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

“Our experience with Hydrowick allowed us to synchronize our 3 trouble greens with the others…. additional drainage pulling excess moisture from saturated subsoils has helped increase oxygen exchange and provide firmer, faster, more consistent and healthier turf. The installation was easy and the pre-application meetings to determine drainage header panels made for little disruption to play during the process. I would highly recommend Hydrowick to anyone trying to improve their drainage in order to provide quality playing conditions".

Dean Sparks, Golf Course Superintendent Davenport Country Club

"Over the last 8 years we have been using the hydrowick product and Atlantic Drainage Solutions to install it. Initially we were skeptical about a product that would easily slit in and be ready for play. After using it on wet areas on the course and hearing our members rave about how much drier the landing areas are we have added it to our list every year to continue to enhance our members' experience. A few years ago, we learned that our greens drainage wasn't functioning properly and were looking for other options that didn't include rebuilding greens. We elected to go with Atlantic again on this huge project and our greens are functioning the best they have in years. It is great working with a company that understands what we are trying to do and helps provide us with solutions to overcome the challenges."

Stephen Tucker, Director of Golf Course & Landscape OperationsFour Seasons Golf and Sports Club Orlando

“Our standards at Emerald Dunes Club are at the highest level and choosing Hydrowick Drainage fit extremely well in our drainage program. Hydrowick installation has minimal disruption to the turf and made our wettest areas on fairways manageable again. Hydrowick has worked extremely well for us and we will be scheduling more installations annually.

“Before the Hydrowick drainage was installed, our multipurpose soccer field would stay wet for days after it rained — sometimes we had to close it for a whole week. Since adding the new drainage system, the difference has been incredible. The field stays much drier, and we can usually reopen it the same day or the next day after rain. It’s amazing how well it works!”

Tim Campbell, Golf Course SuperintendentPalm Beach Par 3

"6 years on and 18 greens completed, HYDROWICK drainage was 100% the best decision we made.”

Stuart Langhorn, Golf Course Director Beaconsfield Golf Club

"Amazing effort to get this project finished ahead of schedule, on budget and most importantly with outstanding quality. 28 greens completed with HYDROWICK.”

David Pain, Course DirectorCleobury Mortimer Golf Club

"We installed 1800 linear feet of Hydrowick in September 2018 on #18 fairway at Old Palm Golf Club. This particular area always retained water because of heavy soil conditions. We saw the area improve almost immediately. The area became less anerobicand played much firmer. I was impressed with the quick and non disruptive process. I would definitely recommend this process to anybody looking to improve a drainage problem."

Danny Sapp, SuperintendentOld Palm Golf Club

“Hydrowick System installed in the fairway on our feature hole has transformed it from virtually unplayable after a rain event to allowing cart traffic right away. The installation process was professional, efficient and the seams are completely healed and invisible.”
