Updating your range in 2020

by

Start with what’s essential when updating your range or course accessories… 

The Summer of 2020 might not be the time that your club is wanting to update the entire driving range, especially if you are in the North or East Coast. But you still need things… COVID-19 did not change the fact that your recycled plastic bag stands aren’t holding up to the weather and need to be replaced badly…
It’s a good idea to write down EVERYTHING that needs to be updated on the course and the range on a piece of paper. Then prioritize it and write a new list for 2020 with the ‘must haves’ and then the ‘would like to haves’ for 2021. This advice could really apply to personal life as well as a way of cutting spending and focusing on what matters most in life instead of the distractions…
At RHI Golf we’re seeing that many projects are being done in multiple steps. For example, some of our clients are ordering bags stands only instead of the range dividers, club cleaners, ball crates, etc. Or maybe all of the signage needs to be updated, but for now the most important thing is to get signs out there so people aren’t riding their rvs or walking their dogs where they potentially could be hit by golf balls, so a partial signage order is placed with the intention that more signs will be ordered in the near future. There are still full range orders being placed and capital funds are being released more and more. But don’t stress if there’s pressure to keep spending to a minimum. So start with the essentials and go from there. Not everything has to be done all at once. Breathe. You got this.

Here’s a look at some of the driving range & course supplies that have been going out our doors lately. 

This is the mini-cart that we made for Tributary Club in Driggs, Idaho. Usually we made large carts, but sometimes a little smaller is just right!!

Range Dividers for Lubbock Country Club. We also made bag stands and trash can enclosures for them, but with their tree logo. For the dividers, we wanted to mix it up a little. 

These are the clean & simple yardage markers that we made for Soule Park Golf Course in California. 

At Champions Retreat we made them 5 sets of tee markers for their course in Georgia. The tee markers are naturally rusted steel with a low-gloss clear coat over the logos’ powder coat. They’re going for a low-key rustic look. Accomplished!!!

We did a few essential signs for Blackstone Country Club. 

As states start to re-open, tournaments are going back on the calender (below are a few trophies). 

What’s New at RHI Golf

by

Hi everyone.  Today’s blog is a look into what’s been going out the doors here at RHI Golf so you can get inspiration.. 

The Director of Golf at Blackhawk Country Club created these bag stands and ball containers designs and breathed life into his sketches. It’s really great as a client to have that much control over the design and production. It’s the beauty of a custom shop like us.

We made more for their range setup, but this is what I was able to take a photo of before our speedy shipping department crated the order. 

Below are the bag stands that we’ve recently made for The Plantation Club and Madison Club. 

This is the club cleaner that University of Louisville Athletics had us make.  

Here’s 2 different kinds of ball crates that we just made. The ball crates are our answer to the applecrate and t hey work so much better.

 

We’re happy to have the opportunity to work with Top Golf on their trash can enclosures and benches. 

This is the broken tee box that we made for Redrock Country Club. 

Our specialty is custom driving range accessories, but we have such a good relationship with our clients that they continuously ask us to also help with tournament awards. Here’s what we’ve made the last couple of weeks. 

We also have to share the trail signs that we made this week for Summit Club in Las Vegas (Discovery Land Co. course). These small signs (12″x12″) will look great on their trails and give needed info to those who walk their trails. 

Last up are the BEARDOWN tee markers (re-order) that we made for University of Arizona. I love the look of these, don’t you? 

 

Thanks everyone for reading our blog!! 

Directional Arrow Ideas

by

Are you needing to direct your members, but you’re the type of private club that has almost no signage on your course? Keep that natural look with understated arrows or signs that could be mounted on a rock. We have so many ideas that we can suggest to you so you get your message across without taking the attention away from your immaculately maintained course. 

Here’s a long arrow (20″) but it stay understated because 1) it’s short and flush with the turf 2) it blends in with the natural rust, but the red details grabs the members’ attention at the same time. 

Now you can leave the arrow single sided, but if you want to make it double sided there’s 2 options. 1st option is to let the hardware show like in the below photo. Hardware is inevitable at least on one side of the arrow. In this case, I think it looks like an added beaded detail embracing the Native American theme. 2nd option is to hand-paint the screws. This works with most colors, but it is painted not powder coated so it’s something that might need to be touched up (depends on how they’re cared for). We recommend leaving the screws bare.

Here’s the newly update gallery for custom directional signage. Take a look and get a creative idea that will work well at your course! As always, our prices are extremely reasonable for the high-end quality and presentation. 

BLOG: Cart Signage

by

Directional cart arrows are important, but don’t have to be generic. Creating a high-end presentation is about attention to every detail.

At RHI, we look at the whole picture and want every product that we custom make to tie in together for a clean and consistent presentation. Cart Directional Arrows are no exception. Adding your logo, and club colors are just the beginning.

Notice how Twin Dolphins chose to have their letters raised for a high-end look.

Troon’s Southern Dunes chose an arrow with their logo cut out of it for a clean look.

Other times courses decide to go without logo, but tie into their theme with colors. Below is an example of that.

TEE MARKER BLOG: Invest in greatness!

by

When investing in tee markers, it’s important to look at durability and if there’s any maintenance involved. We design your tee markers to last about 10 years depending on how they’re taken care of. The powder coating that we use on the metal makes the markers really protects them from getting scratched and holds up well in the sun. 

 

Our big project this week was producing the double sided tee markers for Kissing Tree Golf Club in San Marcos, Texas. The multi-layered design gives these markers dimension, but since we use aluminum, they’re fairly lightweight. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, are the in-ground yardage markers that we made for TPC Colorado.

We built directional signage for TPC Colorado, too. Their wildlife sign and stop signs turned out nice!

Also, this week we made bag stands for Silo Ridge, Keystone Ranch and Bel Aire Country Club. 

The other driving range accessories that went out this week are range dividers for The Country Club of the North, and then divot mix boxes for Hayden Country Club. Hayden CC is the home course of RHI Golf’s CEO, Reid Hatley. 

Summer is always filled with trophies. Here’s what the rhi crew has created this week. You can tell that our clients are diverse in what they want to give out as prizes.

Thanks for reading our blog. We hope you gained inspiration from it for your next project!

Driving Range Supplies, Tee Markers & More!

by

Let’s start today’s blog with the Country Club of Sioux Falls account. We worked closely with them to design accessories that will look beautiful on their driving range.  First, is their hanging range sign that will have slide-in white vinyl numbers to indicate the distances. 

Next, is their range dividers. They made the design a little different that on their other products but it comes together because of the coloring. It gives a nice variation to their presentation. 

For range signs we made them a Divot Repair Sign, Wedge Development Sign & Reserved for Instruction Sign. They were very much a part of each design. Notice how the lettering is raised instead of cutout with a black plate behind it. That was their idea and it came out nice! This account is a good example of how our clients can be involved in their designs. You just can’t do that with other companies. 

Here’s their shag bag holder. We used a thick layer of metal for durability on their logo. 

The Patriot Club asked us to rush custom trash can enclosures and a podium to them with a tight deadline. We designed their enclosures around their 38″ tall can. This unit is going to be perfect for smokers who want to lean up against it, and for players who are tall and don’t want to bend over when throwing away their waste. 

Whisper Rock signed off on custom trash can enclosures as well. These are going to look nice at their beautiful facility. 

Brentwood Country Club in California helped us design custom yardage markers & a small chip flop sign.  They put a lot of thought into these, and the markers turned out good!

For Lakewood Country Club (Dallas), we made range dividers and club cleaning stations. 

We were also asked to make 2 TRACKMAN range dividers.

 

Besides updating clients’ driving ranges, we also worked on tee markers. Here’s what we did for Cress Creek, Monticito and Oak Hills Country Club. 

For tournament supplies, we made the USGA a tournament case for their Walker Cup tournament, and we made a rush order tournament box for Dallas Athletic Club. 

That’s all for today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

Golf Course Sign Ideas

by

Golf Course Signage is something that every course needs, but how you do it is what’s important. Having mismatched signs is an easy way to undermine your presentation. It’s best to have all the colors, design and logos as consistent as possible. It’s what’s expected from private country clubs, but it doesn’t have to break the bank/budget. 

 

We made several signs for The Northwood Club in Dallas, Texas, but here’s a look at a few. Notice how they stick with the same white on all of their signs, and then most of the signs  have their logo on it in copper vein (their main color on their driving range). So that the sign isn’t text heavy, it’s sometimes a good idea to use only the icon part of your logo. 

Here’s A-frame Directional Signs for Troon CC and Legacy Ridge CC. 

We made A-frame yardage signs for Mayacama in California as part of their range project (more pictures will be posted soon).

Isleworth chose to make their Ball Drop Sign consistent with their tee marker presentation. It looks classy and what you would expect at Isleworth Golf & Country Club. 

Driving range clocks are also important to tie in with the rest of the signs and driving range colors/presenation. 

Then there’s the yardage posts that we made for Roaring Forks CC and tee sign for Southern Dunes CC.  

A logo isn’t always needed like in the case of Rolling Hills CC (CALIFORNIA) ‘back nine closed’ sign and Ko Olina Golf Club’s cart directional signs. 

That’s all for today on golf course signs. Thanks for reading our blog!!!
