Custom Golf Course Accessories

First up are the golf shootout trophies that we made for Pine Canyon in AZ. We used flat black with wrought iron accents on these along with replica pistol and bullets.
Next, we did the Greens & Streams event for the 3rd year. We worked with Rock Creek Cattle Company to freshen up a couple of the designs.
We also created the ‘Beefsteak’ awards for our client Tuxedo Club, and then made ‘fatbird’ trophies for Nemacolin Woodlands Resort.
Below are is the award that we made for Balsam Mountain Preserve. We first worked with our contact there when he worked at The Cliffs. We love when the pros keep working with us throughout their careers.
Last, for trophies are the shootout trophies that we did for Moonlight Basin. We love these rustic awards!
For tournament cases, we made this for Hermitage Country Club.

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

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!!

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 (:

We made a couple of starter’s boxes this week as well as scorecard boxes. Here’s the ones that we did for Peninsula and La Quinta. These are made of 1/8″ aluminum and are a great looking box that is more durable than anything else on the market.
The last photo that was taken of this style of podium was back when the guys use to take photos in the warehouse. Needless to say, I was excited to use the fancy camera on it.
