Golf Course Greens Drainage System

The greens at Merion are holding up to the persistent rains thanks to the XGD system installed in the greens. This internal drainage system has preserved classic greens across the country by allowing them to perform up to modern expectations without having to be rebuilt.
Here is a link to their website that explains more about the design and installation process.
FYI, this is different than the subaire system that has been mentioned during broadcasts of previous golf tournaments this season, which involves the use of suction to remove the water from the drainage system.

If you look at the list of clubs in their portfolio you may find a few familiar names from the Northeast.  Share a comment about any that you have played, or if any are on your "bucket list".
