Driving Range Design Ideas

October 30, 2015 by Joy Ball

We are officially up and running 100% now, and working lightning fast to get your orders to you. A big ‘thanks’ to our loyal clients who have hung in there with us while we have been getting back on our feet since June’s fire.

I talked with one of our clients about his order other day, and he was like, “Your boss is great at golf, right? I trust whatever he thinks would work best.” This is an example of how head pros know that their range accessories are in good hands because Reid & the crew have been part of the golf industry for years. We know what works and what doesn’t.

I’ve been extra chatty today, so let’s get down to business with showing the custom golf course products that the crew has worked hard on. First up, is the last phase of The Hasentree Club’s range accessories. Custom twisted metal bag stand, & ball stacking basket.

The Hasentree Club also has a Driving Range Sign that is on their last freight shipment. Look how nice it turned out.

Next, are Waccabuc’s driving range clock signs.

The crew also finished Waccabuc’s par 3 a-frames that have the slide-in vinyl numbers and Wachesaw’s waste can enclosure.

For tournament accessories, we have Bright Creek’s 3D water wheel trophy and Anthem’s shootout trophies.

Lastly, Telluride’s pickaxe tee markers. Telluride is excited to tee off next to these in the Spring.

Logo Tee Markers & More..

October 15, 2015 by Joy Ball

Think past the plastic ball tee markers or the branded driftwood, and explore custom tee markers made out of durable aluminum that are given a beautiful powder coat finish. The RHI crew can build logo tee markers as simple or intricate as you need, and hit almost any budget. 1. North Fork 2. Olde Barnstable 3. Waccabuc

RHI’s in-ground yardage plates are built custom with your color/design choices. We build them with welded stakes that go into the ground deep enough that lawn mowers can go over these safely. 1. Hidden Valley. 2. Crane Creek.

For the driving range, we have Wachesaw’s bag stands that have smooth round tube. These are one of the easiest-to-move bag stands (I liked that while moving them around for photos) that we make, and are just beautiful in the copper-vein textured finish. Then we have Sahalee’s teaching signs for their practice area.

Next, is a golf course directional sign for Desert Canyon and putting green flagsticks for Sahalee.

For tournament prize ideas, check out the below golf trophies that we built this week. 1. Toscana’s re-order of the Toscana Cup. 2. Union League’s 3 layer elephant. This is a good example of how 3D doesn’t have to be from casted molds that cost way too much. We used 3 layers of metal to give this elephant a dimensional look at an unbeatable price. It’s hard to tell in a photo, but up-close you’ll see the thickness and how it appears to be walking on the trophy base.

Lastly, the RHI crew made whisky barrel awards for Almaden’s champions and small half-barrel awards for their flight winners.

USGA Mid Am & October at RHI

October 5, 2015 by Joy Ball

First up, let’s give a ‘shout out’ to RHI’s CEO & founder, Reid Hatley. Reid just advanced to the Round of 32 by knocking off the No. 4 Seed in match play at the USGA Mid-Amateur National Tournament in Vero Beach, Fla.

Our first ‘share’ are golf club scrubbers for the driving range for Wachesaw & Hasentree. These give the driving range a professional look. Pick your color and add your logo for a truly custom look!

Next, is a custom broken tee box for Entrada’s driving range that serves it purpose while looking classy. Then we have a driving range target in the shape of a pheasant for Legacy Ridge.

Below is a ball pyramid tray that we made twice for Wachesaw (the first time these burned in our warehouse fire). These trays will look great on their driving range!

The tournament prizes that your winning players leave with are lasting memories of playing at your course. That makes it especially important to give awards that look good, and are special to them & your course. Awards by RHI Golf will do just that. Northwood’s Oak Tree Invitational will be giving out nice looking oak tree trophies. Notice the detail that the water jet machine cut into the steel. Also, the base starts as a piece of 8″ pipe. The bark texture is actually weld slag. We joke that it takes a lot of talent to weld that poorly.

The players at Catawba’s 2014 Fall Classic liked their trophies so much that we have a 2015 re-order.

Same thing happened with Lakes at Castle Hills’ “Quest for the Grail”, and St. James’ “Cattail Classic”. For St. James, we did these 3D cattails for the ladies’ in the spring, which were well-received, so we are doing them for the men, too.

It is October, so it’s fitting to have an Oktoberfest beer trophy. Here’s one that we modeled after Ledge Rock’s design vision.

Below are tomahawk trophies for The Cliffs at Keowee Falls. It was cool to have a real tomahawk piece pipe to incorporate into a trophy. The guys were surprised when I walked in the shop with a Native American piece pipe!

As we start to get back into full production mode soon, you will be seeing lots more photos!
