Custom Golf Course Accessories

Hi, everyone. No matter how much more time is left in your season, there’s still time to ‘wow’ your members.
First on the blog, are the bag stands that we did for Wolf Creek.
Next, are Riverside’s club cleaning stations. These units have handles on either side so that you can attach your own brush onto for the cleanest experience. Inside the stations are grates to help with the cleaning process.
To help with pace of play, we made these driving range clocks for Rolling Hills, Stone Briar & The Cliffs.
Need a place for your putters? Here’s a twisted metal putter stand with logo.
For signs, let’s start with Rockwind’s directional signs. Here’s just a couple of the sign package that we did.
Rockwind also did “Yardage to the Pins” signs that they’ll be mounting to boulders.
Then there’s The Cliffs par 3 tree. These have been a good seller in the last year.
We also made Spring Hill College’s in-ground yardage plates that we used their school colors for the color scheme.
Below are tee markers for The Albany, NCAC, Stanwich, & the monkeys are for a private tournament.
Lastly, the first set for Plantation CC is done, then there’s tee markers for Minnewaska Golf Club and Camp Courant.

Having a professional looking practice facility is a must in the golf course industry. Range dividers are an inexpensive way to freshen up your driving range. First to show are the range spacers for The National and Ponte Vedra Golf & Resort.
Also, for The National, the crew made 12″x 12″ A-frames for their Closest to the Pin and Longest Drives.
Having a consistent look with your property furnishings is important to give the best image at your private course. The RHI crew worked with Green Brook Country Club to do just this.
The 1st thing that we concentrated on was their large directional sign .
For their clock sign, we made a hanging clock sign that’s double sided.
Next, are their bag drops that each hold 4 bags per unit.
For the shag bag racks, we went away from the textured gray, and did a navy.
For tournaments, Green Brook has custom proximity markers, tee announcements, and a perpetual trophy.
Let’s start with Broadmoor Country Club’s tournament tee markers.
We’re known for our unique trophies for tournament prizes. We got extra creative this month with the 3D awards.
1) Pete Dye’s 3D coal carts on tracks for their flight winners. 2). The Bridges 3D bridge trophies. We etched the stone work on these to make them look as close as possible to their bridge at their course.
HillCrest has an oil derrick on their property, which explains the theme of their trophies. Everyone at RHI hq’s loves these. They turned out better than we could have hoped for and are sure to get an amazing response from the winners.
We have more trophies to show: 1) Wolf Creek’s overall champion trophies that we engraved their trees into the base. 2). Radley Run’s Revolution Flag trophies. 3). The Cliffs at Walnut Cove did plaques with stands for their Men’s Member-Guest awards.
Then there’s Detroit Country Club who we made trophies out of their logo. TPC Riverbend has given away crystal the last 14 years, but this year they gave dimensional skyline trophies (Big Easy skyline). These trophies will be something extra special for the winners.
Oakwood Country Club did leaf trophies for their Knickerbocker event and 3D acorn trophies for their Acorn Classic. Notice how we can make very different looking trophies so that each tournament can have it’s own identity.
That’s all we have for today!

TOURNAMENT GIVE-AWAYS
You can tell that we’ve been extremely busy with tournament awards last May. Here’s a run down on the custom trophies that built for the clubs’ special events. 1. Skagit. 2. Merion’s wicker baskets. 3. Roaring Fork’s fish trophies. 4. Whipporwill’s steam shovel trophies.
For the Big Sky Bird & Birdie, we did these 2 trophies that a little different from each other, but it ties in together with coloring and base shape.
For Rib Crib’s event, we did several smaller awards that will fit perfectly on the winners’ desk of mantle. Bigger isn’t always better in this case..
Lastly, we have Westchesters’ ladies’ barn trophies. The bases are designed to resemble like barn wood. Also, notice the new engraving that we are doing.
COURSE SIGNAGE
Looking for signs for your course? We make any and every kind that you can think of with your club colors and logo.
First up today are the custom par 3 signs for White Beeches and The Cliffs at Valley. Each of these has slide-in numbers and their own unique look.
THE DRIVING RANGE
The other signs that went out were the driving range signs for The Alamo and Druid Hills. Each of these signs was built based on what the clubs needed.
Next, are the range dividers that went out again for Sycamore Hills.
Here’s the bag stands that we modified the design for Forest Highlands to accommodate their players’ water bottles.
And then Happy Hollow’s bag stands that we cut their logo out on the front panels. The powder coat on this is BR47, which is the powder coat version of rust.
TEE MARKERS
For tee markers, we did A-frame tee markers for Black Bull. These will be easy to store and to see from the cart path.
Then there’s the tournament tee markers that we did for Byron Electric’s event.
STARTER’S PODIUMS
Colonial Country Club is getting their starter’s podium delivered soon. We custom built it for them with the slanted & hinged top, and back storage space.

The crew will work hard to create high-quality and custom range accessories that will make your practice facility look its best. The first necessity are bag stands. Below are the new stands that we made for Bloomfield in copper vein powder coat.
Baton Rouge chose the upright twisted metal style in hunter green powder coat with a textured finish.
Golf Club Cleaners can give a consistent look with your bag stands with logo and colors. The firs 2 photos are BlackHawks’ club cleaning station and club wash bucket. The 3rd photo is Citrus Club’s cleaning station.
For Driving Range Signs, we did a colorful one for Southern California Golf Academy.
Next are the putting green flagsticks for Reynold’s Lake Oconee. We made these each in their own color.
I climbed on the ladder for this photo; Rhode Island CC’s scorecard box on post in the watertight version.
Driving Range Boxes can be personalized for your needs and you can rearrange the dividers in the design if needed. Below is the one that we made for Troon CC, which they’re using for a water bucket, towels, and trinkets.
Golf Property Furnishings need to be of high-quality so that they can last many years on the course looking nice. Like with any of our products, we create that durability and longevity with our custom podiums. Blackhawk ordered a small version (the guys shipped it before I could take a photo..) and the large version (below).
Trash Can Enclosures are a necessity on the course, and below is a lid version for LegacyRidge.
Here are the tee markers that we made for Kapalua and Rolling Hills. Kapalua needed taller tee markers because of the elevation at their course can make it tricky to see the markers. That wasn’t the case for RH, so a different style was chosen for their needs.
Lastly, are the proximity markers that we made for Phoenixville and Mira Vista.
Thank you to all of RHI customers who continue to create innovative products and support us through the years!

Tournament Tee Markers can get really creative and give your tournament a special look. A great example of this is the tournament markers that will be at The Concession.
The RHI Crew has a few trophies that have gone out the door in the last day. 1) Golf Writer’s Association has new themed awards every year & we love to rise to the occasion to ‘wow’ the winners. 2) LedgeRock strayed away from the usually circle or rectangle base with this ‘stacked’ look. 3) Horse Race Trophies for Whispering Pines. 4) Children’s Hospital Awards.
The Links at Summerly created a new multi-colored logo that was fun to work with. Each color of the logo is a separate piece of aluminum that we have pemmed together like a jigsaw puzzle. Below are their waste enclosures and club cleaning stations.
Next up is Galloway National’s insulated cooler on a stand.
Below is The Links’ bag stand with the cutout logo and Union League’s driving range sign.
Lastly, is one of our best selling products, the 1/2 barrel driving range basket for The Cliffs.

Hi. The RHI Production Crew has been busy, and I have a lot to share with you. Here’s some ideas that will get your creative thoughts going!
Pin Location Signs (with removable numbers) for Superstition Mountain & Manchester CC.
For Range Accessories, we have a hanging Range Layout Sign for Blue Jack National & a Range Yardage Sign for Union League.
Needing storage on the range? This is what Wannamoisett designed with us; custom Range/Amenity Box. These amenity boxes are fully customizable.
Here are the range baskets that we did for Iron Horse Golf Club.
Next, we made twisted metal bag stands for Hill Crest CC and a Sand & Seed Rack for Verrado.
Proximity Markers increase the speed of play and are another opportunity for the course to look professional and consistent with their branding. They’re also easy to use and to keep looking nice.
Thinking of getting all new tee markers that won’t break the budget? We have durable and creative tee markers at prices that just can’t be beat! First, are IGA’s A-frame tee markers. They wanted these to be easily stacked/transported and chose this option. Next, is Pepperdine’s tournament tee markers and then North Hills CC had us make their in-ground family tees.
We make garbage can enclosures that go underground or stand above ground. Below are Blue Jack National’s and Tumble Creeks’ garbage can enclosures.
We love to make creative trophies for your tournaments that your winners will love. Try something different this year.

THE BLUE JACK NATIONAL PROJECT
We are excited to have built course accessories for Tiger Woods’ first U.S. Course, Blue Jack National in Houston, Texas. We worked closely with Blue Jack National’s team to create these products that their players will love for years to come.
1st, is their starter podium that has a stained log attached to a steel pipe base that our crew made to look like it has tree roots coming out. The bark texture is actually weld slag that gives the pipe a tree look. 2nd, is a custom drink holder that has a 3D acorn logo for on the course.
Below are the custom wooden benches that turned out beautiful. We got the wood from a local forest, stained and branded the wood for an amazing look. Notice how their acorn logo was incorporated in the legs of the benches; it’s all about the details..
For their driving range, Blue Jack chose hinged A-frame yardage targets, twisted metal A-frame bag stands and logo’d range dividers.
Next, are their tee markers and green medallions.
Blue Jack National’s in-ground yardage markers were done in 2 different styles. The red/white markers are shaped like their practice grounds, and the bronze colored yardage markers have raised numbers and borders are for the golf course.
Happy New Year’s and we look forward to working with you in 2016! See you at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando, FL January 27th-29th. BOOTH 3400 in New Product Zone! We will be featuring our new product line of INSULATED COOLERS!
