Trophy Season at RHI Golf

April 29, 2025 by Joy Ball

The 2025 Trophy Season is kicking into high gear. We are slaying those June deadlines already with early deliveries. Our customers lead the designs and the trophies are just as unique as the clubs.

1st trophy up is the VW Bus awards that we made for Crystal Coast Country Club. We used ‘disco aqua’ for the sparkly finish on the bus. These are such fun awards!

The logo for Spanish trails is a ring of halberd axe heads. We ran with that theme with these axe awards.

We worked with The Crosby Club on their Clam Bake and Par 3 Awards.

Each year we work with the American Junior Golf Association and Taylormade for their awards.

That is all for this week for awards. We also make tournament cases, proximity markers and tournament tee markers to make your events extra special.

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

December 20, 2019 by Joy Ball

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!!

Blog: Tournament Awards & Tee Markers

September 19, 2018 by Joy Ball

Today’s blog post is about the creative designs of tournament awards and tee markers.

The below photo isn’t just any bridge that our designer dreamed up of. What makes this trophy extra special is that this is a recreation of the bridge that connects the second and third hole at Old American Golf Club. The players that see this trophy are going to immediately recognize this landmark.

Pine Canyon Club worked with us on several events.

Palmetto Bluff Sonnenalp decided to go smaller on the awards, which is great for players who are traveling or who have several awards to display.

Sonnenalp did the same style of trophies for their men and women, but differentiated the awards with colors. The women won teal, and the men won gray.

Spurwing has done this tournament with us for years, but this year they decided to mix it up with a unique design.

Silo Ridge used their landmark (a silo that’s on their property) as their trophy theme.

Greenville Country Club had us make their annual pirate award. Because of Hurricane Florence they’ll be using this award next year.

Next are the awards for Sunset CC, 12 Oaks, and Union League.

Union League used different bases for their separate events to differentiate the awards. It looks nice!

Tournament Tee Markers -First up are the 3D van tee markers that we made for Donnelly Mechanical. These creative markers are going to look amazing for years to come!

We also made tournament markers for Marine Drive in Canada and TSMGI in Illinois.

TEE MARKER BLOG: Invest in greatness!

July 20, 2018 by Joy Ball

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!

Blog: Tee Markers & Tournament Supplies

July 2, 2018 by Joy Ball

Let’s start today’s blog with tee markers. We make custom markers for everyday use, and ones specifically for tournaments. We made four sets for Menlo Country Club, and sets for TPC Colorado. We also made markers for the Illinois Junior Golf Association, and Siox Falls Men’s Golf Club. We also sent demo tee markers for Westwood Golf Club in Texas (they went with the black/white version).

Tournament Supplies —

Here’s the tournament cases that we made for a few of our clients. The red one (Essex Country Club) is our new small starters box that we’re making now.

Below are the proximity markers that we sent out.

Here’s a peak at some of the trophies that we’ve made lately.

We’ve asked quite a bit lately for these custom barrel trophies. It’s such a nice award to win and fits the wine theme for some of our vineyard area courses.
