Amenities on-hand

by

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). 

Tournament Tee Markers & More!

by

This week was the week of tee markers and trophies.. 

First off are the 5 sets of tee markers that we made for The Meadows at Mystic Lake. 

We also made tournament markers for an event held at the Lake Forest CC. Their event had a tournament logo and a sponsor logo. We thought about making a double sided tee marker, but after thinking about it, we all decided to do 18 with one logo and 18 of the other logo for a sleeker presentation. 

Then we made A-frame tee markers for the Remission Foundation event. This is particularly a great style if you need to stack and store them (perfect for event markers). 

We’ve made trophies for Eagle Bend for years, but this year they wanted to add-on tournament tee markers to ramp up the presentation.

For awards we made juniper tree trophies for Pronghorn, mammoths for Snowmass and cowboys for The Club at Olde Hawthorne. You can tell that we make a wide variety of awards.. Each one is designed for our particular client to fit what works for them best. 

We also make perpetual boards, here’s one we shipped for Toscana. 

On the range accessory front, let’s start with signs:

Then there’s insulated coolers like the ones that we did for Sonoma. 

Also for water solutions, we built a metal version of a teak beverage station. 

Last to share today is the custom bench that we made for Pronghorn. 

 

 

Consistent Presentation is Key

by

When you really see the difference in presentation is when you’re accessories are consistent in colors, style and logos.

Here’s a look at how Trinity Forest is giving their customers the best possible presentation. 

This week we made a range box that stemmed from a design we created 3 years ago that was modeled off a treasure chest design (see below). The head pro at TF, took that design as inspiration for his one-of-a-kind amenity box. He added a divot bottle rack so that the space was utilized fully. 

 

We added pneumatic hinges on after I took this photo. 

We also shipped their scorecard box this week. 

Below are a couple other orders that we’ve made for them in the past year or so. Notice how everything just fits together in appearance.


Driving Range Targets

by

Hi, everyone. We’ve been branching out with the driving range targets that we make by most recently creating animal cutout targets. These targets are about 5′ to 6′ feet tall depending on the chosen animal.

 

The wine barrel targets are also a fun target to hit. They made a loud noise (ball hitting steel) that makes heads turn without being obnoxious.  Here’s the ones that we made in the last few days: 

 

Then there’s always a 20′ bulls-eye to aim at…

 

We had started making ball pyramid trays, but started getting more creative with barrel ball buckets and baskets. Here’s the bucket that we made for Talking Rock. 

We love when we get commissioned to make something outside the norm, and that’s what happened with Aldarra. They asked us to make ball ‘buckets’ in the shape of their signature silo. These will hold 300 or so balls and will be something special and unique that’s at only their range. 

Or if you want to go traditional, we make custom ball pyramid trays that hold 140 balls.

 

 

 

For Range Layout Signs, we made in-ground signs for Crane Creek, and a hanging sign for Thousand Oaks. 

For Thousand Oaks, we also made mini-flags and shipped those last week in time for their men’s event. 

 

That’s all for today! Thanks.

Driving Range Update Ideas & More

by

Hi. Today let’s look at a couple of projects that we’ve been working with.

First, is the Mountaintop Lake & Golf Club PROJECT. We worked closely with the head pro there on every detail of the new product line up. Let’s start with the custom amenity carts that Fox designed with us. 

This is the cart that together we designed for his North End, which is the self-service side. We wanted to keep everything covered in case of rain. There’s the insulated cooler, and then the large storage area in the bottom. Because of the shape of the build, we added pneumatic wheels to the end.

On their South End, we designed an amenity cart that was larger. Rain was still a concern, so we build 2 removable lid sections, as well as a bracket on the side so that they could attach an umbrella on if they wanted to. There’s an insulated cooler on this one too. 

For their bag stands, we made the kickplate bag stand for their self-service end, and something completely different for their full-service side. The full service stand holds clubs at an angle. 

Also, on the driving range, we made ball corrals with weld bumps to keep the balls from being stuck in the corners. 

For signage, we made a driving range sign in a style that we call the ‘range tree.’

Here’s the other signs that we made for Mountaintop:


Mountaintop wanted to keep with the same color theme on their tee markers. We made 2 styles, and direction tee markers. 

The 2nd course that we’re showing off today is the Part 2 Project for Green Brook Country Club in New Jersey. 

First, we made their insulated coolers. They chose a 2-toned gray powder coat that has 2 shades of gray. 

We’ve made driving range clock signs for them before, but they wanted another style with a movable x base. for their driving range. 

Usually, we stick with 1 color scheme, but their course has 2 different club color schemes. This is the club cleaning station that we made. We still kept the logo consistent like on everything else that we’ve made for them. 

Here’s their starter’s tray. We designed it specifically to fit their scorecards. We make starter boxes with lids and without in different styles and layouts. 

You can’t see it in this photo, but there’s stakes welded behind the circle plate so that the sign can be inserted into the ground. It’s a low key directional sign. 

We also made trash can enclosures. The top portion is removable so that staff can lift it and take out the trash. There’s handles on the sides of the shell to make it easy to move.

Lastly, this style of podium is our slanted top style. I really like this one because it as top storage (top in hinged) and back storage with shelves.  You can choose casters as an add-on.

We’ll be sharing more projects soon! If you have photos of your RHI products, you’re welcome to email it to your RHI sales team. We love seeing the accessories at the facilities. 

Driving Range Setups

by

Today’s blog is a look at the driving range. We get questions about how metal will look against wood sometimes. Here’s an example of what it could look like if you already have wooden products, but want to introduce a more durable material that  needs a lot less maintenance…

An extra thought is that if you find that you’re not in love with the wooden applecrates; we have a solution. The ball crates that we make are easier to get balls out and are easier to use as well as maintain. Here’s a couple examples:

 

While we’re on the subject of ball boxes, we also make half-barrel ball baskets like on this example. 

 

You can lay the baskets on their sides or have them upright. Here’s a look at a couple of driving range setups:

First, is Verde River’s range. They lay their baskets on their sides. The bottom of the baskets have ‘feet’, which make it easy to keep on their sides. 

Players can scoop out balls with their club by tilting the basket towards them at Big Canoe. The baskets are tilted easily with one’s foot. 

Thanks for reading today’s blog on the driving range!

First Tee Carts

by

The Amenity Carts all started with the then director of golf at Isleworth a few years ago. We thought that it was just going to be a one-off piece, but once it posted on our website, everyone else wanted it..

Napa Valley had a new concept, instead of the insulated coolers on the cart like what we usually make, their pro wanted a waste can. It’s classy and a necessity for the range. 

Here’s the dividers for their trinkets. The rest of the bed is empty for storage. 

Next, is the Yardage Tree that we made for Spanish Oak’s driving range. This photo is actually taken 3 years after we made the sign. Doesn’t it look nice? #Durability #RHIGolf

Here’s another example of how RHI products look good for years to come. The PGA West sign is 6 years old.

For driving range bag stands, we have the twisted A-frame bag stand for Indian Hills. The color that you see is called Copper Vein, which is our thickest and most durable powder coat. It’s a two coat process that’s a warm brown with black speckles (it’s beautiful). 

It was nice doing a full colored logo for The Powder Horn’s starter’s podium. We were really able to showcase their logo on this piece. 

 

We made the full order for Nemacolin Resorts the other day. These tee markers are an example of a cutout logo with a colored plate underneath the logo. Through the years, they’re going to love how durable these are. 

Here’s the Dunesgrass tee marker. This style is our ‘upright tee marker’ and it’s one of the easiest styles to touch up. It’s also one of the most ordered tee markers.

The tee marker for Golf Club of Tennesse is on it’s way to them. We bumped up the thickness on these, so there’s no bending of that flag. Again durability is our #1 concern in all of our custom products. 

 

For tournament awards, did you know that we engrave custom medals? 

These trophies went out the door last week. Here’s the perpetual for Jonathan’s Island and one of the Duel in the Desert awards for Anthem.
