Custom Golf Course Accessories
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).
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.
Below are the plaques that we made for a local course, Gozzer Ranch. The lake is our Lake Coeur d’alene.
Here’s a couple of perpetual boards that we’ve done recently.
That’s all for this week’s blog!

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

We just shipped a divot bottle table for Golf Club of Houston. We started this style about 4 years ago, which gives a clean look and is simple to use. Sometimes simple is best, right?
Since we look at the ‘whole picture’ and not just one product’s presentation, we also built their insulated cooler. Just ‘food for thought’, we also make a sand box that looks just like this, but of course isn’t insulated.
For their tournaments, we made a custom starters box and proximity markers.
Our shipping department was too fast, and I didn’t get a chance to snap a photo, so here’s the rendering that looks just like the finished product. The RHI Shipping Crew has fast bubble wrapping skills..
Another client of ours who we built for this month was the Country Club of Houston. We’re very excited to unveil the finalized tee markers soon (stay tuned) that we’re in production on right now on. Here’s the demos that we worked on before fine-tuning the details. As all of you know, it’s all about the details. The details is what makes your presentation stand out from the competition.
And then of course, we made Houston National’s Steel Trap Awards, and Blue Jack National’s Hurricane Harvey + AVM tournament trophies.

Here’s the starter trays that we shipped out lately: 1) Large tray for The Los Angeles Country Club. 2) Ak’chin Southern Dunes -Troon facility 3) Winged Foot 4) The Clubs at St. James
Next is the tournament case with clasps that we made for the USGA to take to The Walker Cup. You can’t get classier than this..
Painted driftwood or branches might be your thing, but come tournaments it’s time to amp up your presentation value with custom tee markers..
If you’re tired of painting wooden blocks or branches (isn’t everyone except the committee?), then we can design/build low-maintenance and beautiful custom tee markers for your course.
Last, but not least, is tournament prizes (of course). Anyone can give out generic crystal, but a custom trophy can be one of the best marketing pieces for your tournament that creates such a buzz and becomes part of your tournament and club’s identity. Really.
Here’s what’s come out our doors this past week for trophies. You’ll see the variety in our designs, and that we design specifically for our clients who are as different from each other as can be.
Clear Creek Tahoe wanted trophies for their The Rivalry tournament to look like an old saw. After months of developing the design, we got it!
Here’s the rest that came out our doors (:

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.

Here’s a look at what a couple of our southern courses have done this past week for their tournaments.
First, we have the Gunslinger Awards for Arizona’s The Gallery. They’ve ordered these the last few years, and have had a great response. They also do a great setup of their awards at the prize display table.
For Austin Country Club, we made trophies based off the iconic Pennybacker bridge that’s in their city. It’s something unique to their location, which makes their prize custom for them.
Desert Mountain in Arizona, wanted to give their winners something that would give the reaction of, ‘wow’.
We know the trophy was loved, when it’s re-ordered. These bell towers trophies are well-loved and given out each year at The Bridges at Sante Fe.
Another re-order was Anthem’s shootout award. We use to have the gun upright, but for something different, it’s lying down on a circular base.
Next part of the blog is tee markers. Tee markers will get noticed quickly by players and will add to your presentation significantly.
