Custom Golf Course Accessories
by Joy Ball
We recently built the driving accessories for Northwood Club in Dallas, Texas. We worked closely with their team to design custom made driving range accessories. Every detail was carefully thought out to give the best presentation possible. Notice how each product has a beautiful copper vein powder coat and symbols from their logo.
Here’s what their driving range looks like this month with their new rhi setup.
We designed the bagstands so that the could use the trays for a bottle of water, alignment rods, tees and either a towel or a range finder.
This driving range sign has removable flags on it in case there’s any changes down the road.
Here’s an up-close photo of their range dividers. Because there’s a small space on the dividers, the course name often works better than the icon logo.
Because of how much activity is on their driving range, we built their ball staging baskets larger than we do on average. We’re custom, so we’re happy to work with the dimensions that you think would work best at your particular facility.
Broken tee boxes continue with the presentation, so we kept a high-level of detail on these for Northwood Club.
Below is the customer designed scorecard box/amenity box. It’s 100% custom, and perfect for their needs.
Then there’s the beverage caddie. In this case, we all felt that a ball cap looked better than adding a logo. Sometimes simple is best. It continues the presentation with the same coloring as the other products.
Here’s a couple of photos of their driving range box that we took at our shop. Half of its designed for towels, while the other half has custom dividers for amenities that they need on hand like bug spray, sun screen, athletic tape, aspirin, etc.
This Amenity Table actually comes from our driving range cart designs, but our customer didn’t need the wheels or cooler so we designed their product with just the ‘bed’ portion.
Lastly, is their bag drops, which they call their ‘Sunday Bag Rack’.
We’re excited to be in the works of another custom build for them. They have a beautiful course, and we’re happy to have had the opportunity to build their range accessories and signs.

What do your players need on-hand while on the range? We began a decade ago with a basic no-tray bag stand, and then it evolved. Our clients (you) have developed our stands into a unit that meets the players’ changing needs. If you browse our website, you’ll see that a lot of the trays are a little bit different. Some have 2 cup holders, others have 1 cup holder and 1 spot for a range finer, or holes for alignment rods, etc. It’s limitless, really. Just let us know what works for your players and we’ll create a custom-made bag stand.
Last week we worked with Rolling Hills CC in Hills Estates, California. Their super sent us their range finder so that we could custom fit it in their stands during production. We designed the stand so that the range finder could be attached to it, which avoids the issue of any ‘walking away’..
Here’s the custom tray that we built awhile back for The Madison Club (Discovery course). They had us drill holes for alignment rods behind the compartment for it, while The Cliffs had us create a box solely for their range finder. Everyone is so different, which makes life interesting here at RHI.

Napa Valley had a new concept, instead of the insulated coolers on the cart like what we usually make, their pro wanted a waste can. It’s classy and a necessity for the range.
Here’s the dividers for their trinkets. The rest of the bed is empty for storage.
Next, is the Yardage Tree that we made for Spanish Oak’s driving range. This photo is actually taken 3 years after we made the sign. Doesn’t it look nice? #Durability #RHIGolf
Here’s another example of how RHI products look good for years to come. The PGA West sign is 6 years old.
For driving range bag stands, we have the twisted A-frame bag stand for Indian Hills. The color that you see is called Copper Vein, which is our thickest and most durable powder coat. It’s a two coat process that’s a warm brown with black speckles (it’s beautiful).
It was nice doing a full colored logo for The Powder Horn’s starter’s podium. We were really able to showcase their logo on this piece.
We made the full order for Nemacolin Resorts the other day. These tee markers are an example of a cutout logo with a colored plate underneath the logo. Through the years, they’re going to love how durable these are.
Here’s the Dunesgrass tee marker. This style is our ‘upright tee marker’ and it’s one of the easiest styles to touch up. It’s also one of the most ordered tee markers.
The tee marker for Golf Club of Tennesse is on it’s way to them. We bumped up the thickness on these, so there’s no bending of that flag. Again durability is our #1 concern in all of our custom products.
For tournament awards, did you know that we engrave custom medals?
These trophies went out the door last week. Here’s the perpetual for Jonathan’s Island and one of the Duel in the Desert awards for Anthem.

Here is a look at the RHI Teak Collection in computerized renderings. Above shows how beautiful and classic that the ‘teak’ looks like in real-life.
Today’s blog starts with the accessories that we built for the University of Arizona at their home course, Sewailo. They chose from our new line of custom insulated coolers that was our best selling new product of 2016. Next, is a club cleaning station and a divot mix box with a hinged lid.
For the benches, we used a light colored trex, which is much more comfortable and durable than wood. The logo looks really nice on the panels on this 6′ bench.
We had a family who worked with us to design a sand & seed box with a memorial poem dedicated to their loved family member. They donated it to their home course here locally; Coeur d’Alene Public Golf Course. This unit holds 14 bottles, and has bottom storage for empty bottles, which is accessible from a backdoor. For more sand and seed options, check out our section under the tab, ‘Driving Range.’
PGA West worked with us again for their legends event this month. We made driving range targets and table center pieces drawn from the silhouettes of Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf.
Here’s the driving range sign that we made Boonsborro, the teaching sign A-frame that we made for Carmel Valley Ranch. and a A-frame cart sign that we made for Sun City Grand
Last, on signage is the clock sign that we made for The Vintage Club.
For perpetual awards built an oil rig trophy for ExonMobile.
We also made a driftwood inspired perpetual trophy. Real driftwood has durability issues through the years, so our client chose a metal ‘driftwood’ instead.
Lastly for awards, are the individual trophies that we made for Southern Dunes and for University of Oklahoma.
Besides awards, a must-have for tournament supplies is custom proximity markers with your logo and club colors. These greatly increase the speed of play and add another level of professionalism to your events.
To end today’s blog, here’s a peak at a custom prototype that we’re working on.

Coco Beach Golf Club (previously Trump International) is an excellent golf facility in PR. It offers two 18 hole golf courses, the Championship and International. The RHI Crew built their new tee signs and directional signs for both of their golf courses, as well as a complete custom range set up. Browse the Coco Beach gallery to see how each product tied in together perfectly for this beautiful property.

“The details are in everything that we touch..”
-Frenchman’s Reserve
We kept the main color as copper vein, which is a 2 toned warm coppery brown speckled with black. We stayed true to their burgundy/gold/white logo colors.
To begin, we built a slanted topped starter’s podium with top and back storage.
The upright twisted bag stands have holes drilled for alignment rods. The base has prongs to insert in the ground for extra stability.
Next, are the range dividers and club washers that tie in nice with their bag stands.
On their driving range sign, we did 2 columns of yardage for a wider/shorter look.
For the broken tee boxes & trash can enclosures, Frenchman’s Reserve chose to skip the logo, but keep the same color theme.
On the golf instruction signs we kept it subtle in size and then went crest only on the back.
The RHI crew went simple/classy on the sand & seed racks.
The crew made a sand box with full logo because we had the room on the unit, and it gave variety to logos among the other items.
Next, is their scorecard box with post and attached pin location sign. Here’s 2 photos of this piece. I took the box off of the post because I’m not tall enough to take a photo of the top of the box..
On their in-ground yardage markers, we skipped the yardage and went logo only.
Last to share are their proximity markers and tee box announcements.

We have a few driving range projects that we’ve been working on, & want to share. Range accessories are an RHI specialty.
VICTORY RANCH PROJECT
Victory Ranch has a consistent and clean look for their range with matching bag stands, range dividers, and amenities tray for their range cart (cart not pictured). We also made 20 Gal. trash can enclosures with the same coloring and logo style.
TRINITY FOREST PROJECT
This is a new course in Dallas, Texas that has a modern look. We’re often asked for rustic like the Victory Ranch order, but then we get requests that are opposite.
We make insulated coolers and cooler boxes at various sizes. This Keystone Ranch cooler box is our largest; 120 qt.
For Manchester (NH), we made a custom range box that a spot for their divot bottles, and a small shoe cleaning station.
The Course Wente Vineyards is ready for their bag stands and range dividers. These are going to look amazing on their range.
Here’s also the range divider that we did for Entrada and the Sand & Seed Rack for Turning Stone.
We did several hanging signs for Lakewood CC of Dallas, Texas. Here’s one of them.
A few courses have asked for easels that they use as leader boards with a plasma tv. These are also used to display signs/promo signs.
These are the tee markers that have just gone out for Plantation, and Woodmont’s North course.
Lastly, are the trophies that we’ve done in the last week. Notice how different each can be. The first two are for Rock Creek Cattle Company.
These two are for Oak Hills CC overall champions and flight winners.
Below are a few more.
