Re-imagine Your Driving Range BLOG POST

November 1, 2018 by Joy Ball

Love the wood paneled look, but hate the upkeep? That’s why we started our ‘metal teak line’.

What’s unique about the Rams Hill Golf Club (in Borrego Springs, California0 project is the teak paneled look that we’ve done on most of their products. It gives a ‘wood-look’, but without the commitment of sealing and staining.. We used a beautiful powder coat called Copper Vein..

Next is the Twin Dolphins project. They’re a new high-end course in Mexico that’s opening. We made their driving range accessories and tee markers. We designed a new bag stand that we’ll show off here in the next few weeks. Notice on their products how all logos and numerals are either flush mounted or inset, which creates a beautiful look.

Driving Range Supplies, Tee Markers & More!

May 2, 2018 by Joy Ball

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

February 28, 2018 by Joy Ball

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!!!

Getting Ready for Spring at RHI Golf

January 26, 2018 by Joy Ball

While you may have been at the PGA Show in Orlando, we stayed back and got as many custom projects out the door as possible!

We sent out tee markers for TaylorMade to use on Demo Day at the show on Tuesday.

We also made tee markers for Teton Springs and re-orders for Westin Kierland.

Lastly, for tee markers made sets for GSGA. I like how nice their logo stands out against the white powder coat.

For tournament awards, we made a re-order for University of Missouri and shootout awards for Sunset Country Club.

Louisville Country Club will soon be getting their bag stands, club cleaners, and half barrel ball baskets. I love the green that they chose; it’s GN220 and has a durable hammer texture to it, so it won’t scratch easily. It’s a great powder coat for driving range furniture.

Next up is the custom easel that we made for PGA West.

That’s all to share for now. We have several big projects in the works that we’ll soon be sharing. Have a great weekend!

Getting Ready for Spring with Driving Range Supplies

January 4, 2018 by Joy Ball

We won’t be at the 2018 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando this month, but we’d love to set up a time to talk over the phone about your next project!

Contact us at 208.635.5203 Ext 102 or info@rhigolf.com

Here at RHI Headquarters it may be snowing outside and freezing, but we’re in-gear for Spring Opening Day. Our clients are ordering early, and we’re getting their custom projects out the door! We’re going to give you the ‘rundown’ today on what we’ve been building lately so that you can get inspiration and then get started with us on the design/order process.

Talking Rock put in an order for the barrel ball buckets. These hold about 150 balls and give their driving range a unique presentation that traditional ball pyramids just don’t give..

The Country Club at Winter Haven was our ‘guinea pig’ with our new ball tray design. Yesterday, I received at email from our contact there, and Josh said that they really like these trays. As a custom shop, we make things for the ‘first time’ weekly. It keeps things creative and interesting.

Another custom project that we were asked to do was for San Jose CC. We built a custom sand & seed table with sections for amenities like tees, divot repair tools, ball marks, etc. Then we did a divot mix box for Pine Canyon CC.

We shipped out mini-flags for Teton Springs yesterday, and then some for Vasari last week.

Now for Golf Course Signage, Mirabel had us make new pool signs for them. They turned out nice in my humble opinion..

Here’s the driving range clock sign that we did for Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club, and the parking log sign that we did for Troon Country Club (show without the post).

Here’s the trash enclosure, yardage sign and driving range ALL IN ONE COMBO that Fiddler’s Elbow had us custom design for them. This was produced from a sketch that they emailed us..

We’re starting on the Roaring Forks Club driving range project, but here’s a sneak peak at one of their products; club cleaners. They are using a textured hammer color called ‘Bronze Hammer’. It’s a new powder coat that we’ve been using for a couple of clubs, and it looks really nice..

Even though it’s January NOW IS THE TIME to start putting in your trophy orders if you can for Spring and Summer. It’s good having your trophies early because 1) less stress 2) trophies can create a buzz if you share a photo of it to your members and/or have the champion awards in the golf shop for display.. Here’s a look at the trophies that we made for The Crosby Club, Southern Dunes and a Hole-in-One award.

More tournament supplies that came out this past week were the proximity markers for Annandale Club + starter boxes & trays for Capital City.

Thanks for reading our blog. The SPRING SEASON IS COMING, so there will be much more to post very soon!!

Northwood Club Project

December 1, 2017 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.

Amenities on-hand

October 23, 2017 by Joy Ball

We’ve made a few amenity cart/boxes that were extra special that we want to share with you on today’s blog.

First up is Pine Canyon’s amenity carts. Amenity carts are are a perfect way to keep refreshments, towels, scorecards, tees, etc. at hand on the 1st Tee. We made a lot of these, but each one is a little bit different (it’s the nature of a custom shop). Pine Canyon asked for a small counter that they could display their ice tea and water pitchers. It also has a sun roof and insulated 50 qt cooler. Notice that the wheel are hand carved. In t his case we left the wheels ‘bare’, but some of our clients like a medium to dark stain to them.

We did a first-time build for The Stone Canyon Club that shipped last week. It’s a combination of an amenity box that has a stand with shelves. The shelves are designed to hold divot bottles. The twisted metal gives it a decorative look.

Another amenity solution was what Blue Jack National asked us to design/build. We recently saw this photo and had to share.

All of these units could potentially hold towels, but here’s what we did for Mountain Brook and Winter Haven with towels in mind.

Winter Haven GC had us to a combo unit with their driving range sign to keep their range clean and clutter free looking (beautiful course).
