Directional Arrow Ideas

by

Are you needing to direct your members, but you’re the type of private club that has almost no signage on your course? Keep that natural look with understated arrows or signs that could be mounted on a rock. We have so many ideas that we can suggest to you so you get your message across without taking the attention away from your immaculately maintained course. 

Here’s a long arrow (20″) but it stay understated because 1) it’s short and flush with the turf 2) it blends in with the natural rust, but the red details grabs the members’ attention at the same time. 

Now you can leave the arrow single sided, but if you want to make it double sided there’s 2 options. 1st option is to let the hardware show like in the below photo. Hardware is inevitable at least on one side of the arrow. In this case, I think it looks like an added beaded detail embracing the Native American theme. 2nd option is to hand-paint the screws. This works with most colors, but it is painted not powder coated so it’s something that might need to be touched up (depends on how they’re cared for). We recommend leaving the screws bare.

Here’s the newly update gallery for custom directional signage. Take a look and get a creative idea that will work well at your course! As always, our prices are extremely reasonable for the high-end quality and presentation. 

Bag Stands -Behind the Scenes Blog

by

Opening Day is coming up quick, so this is a great time to get your next driving range improvement project on the books! Call us at 208.635.5203 ext. 102

Today’s blog is going to focus on bag stands. We have about 5 styles that are usually requested, but every once in a while we’ll have a customer who wants something completely out of the box (we love that). We re-did the driving range accessories for The Clubs at Cordillera Ranch in Boerne, Texas. The star of the show on this project are the cowboy bag stands. Notice all of the details in the hat and the spurs. This stand is designed to hold a few clubs and not a full bag (that’s what they’re used for most of the time anyway).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This blog is labeled ‘bag stands’, but we have to show you some of the other range accessories that Cordillera Ranch did that ties in this ‘ranch/western’ theme together. Consistency on the range is key.. 

 

The 1/2 barrel ball baskets that we make look like whisky barrels and fit about 200 balls (2 sizes available). The dividers that we made were of high-quality and thick rope with horseshoes on either end, which fits great for this course’s theme. Then there’s the club cleaning station and driving range A-frame clock. All of their products were powder coated  a semi-texture brown for durability and to give a rustic look. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Texas client, Westwood Golf Club had us customize the ‘upright square bar bag stand’ that we make. The cup holder fits their club’s cups perfectly. This stand gives a nice clean look to their range. Simplistic is perfect sometimes, don’t you think?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Desert Mountain Club is one of our many Scottsdale, Arizona clients. They chose an ‘upright twisted bag stand‘. In this style we use 1″ twisted metal bar for a beautiful look. There’s 2 holes for alignment rods on the half-circle portion and a cup holder behind the logo. We also used a brown semi-texture non this. 

For PGA WEST Private Clubhouse & Golf Courses in La Quinta, California we did the ‘upright square bar bag stand‘. This is one of our clients who likes to use Dark Bronze as their powder coat. It has a slight shimmer to it if you look really close in person. Most of the time it looks dark brown if your eye balls aren’t directly glued to it, though. 

We re-did the range for Whirlwind Golf Club. We’ve made their wine barrel range targets a few years ago which was a great start, but this time we were asked to make their bag stands, ball baskets, club cleaning stations, clocks, signs & trash can enclosures. Here’s a peak at their ‘A-frame square bar bag stand’. They have a beautiful oven basket logo, but they decided on their stands to keep it simple with just their name. Here’s a photo on our office lawn and then on their range. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for reading our blog, and we’ll make sure to post again soon! There’s a lot more exciting custom projects in the works!!

Re-imagine Your Driving Range BLOG POST

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. 

BLOG: Cart Signage

by

Directional cart arrows are important, but don’t have to be generic. Creating a high-end presentation is about attention to every detail.

At RHI, we look at the whole picture and want every product that we custom make to tie in together for a clean and consistent presentation. Cart Directional Arrows are no exception. Adding your logo, and club colors are just the beginning.

Notice how Twin Dolphins chose to have their letters raised for a high-end look.

Troon’s Southern Dunes chose an arrow with their logo cut out of it for a clean look.

Other times courses decide to go without logo, but tie into their theme with colors. Below is an example of that.

TEE MARKER BLOG: Invest in greatness!

by

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: Driving Range Carts

Amenity Carts by the RHI Golf crew

The amenity carts that we build custom are amazing. Sure, you can get amenity carts other places, but the ones that we make will last the longest and are the highest-quality.

We use hand-carved wooden wheels that we also hand-stain for a really nice look. Sometimes clients choose a roof while others opt out. 99% of the time we’re asked to include a 50 qt insulated cooler. There’s several layouts to choose from for the dividers to fit the amenities that you need on-hand. Here’s a look at the carts that we’ve made recently. 

This River Club  wanted to store amenities in an enclosed space. Because of the weather over there,  this was an important design feature.

The same client then wanted a cooler only on wagon wheels. I absolutely love this portable cooler design. It’s a unique way to display and move around your cooler. 

The other part of today’s blog, is the paneled round trash & recycling enclosures that we’re launching. We’re tired of seeing the green plastic ones out there on courses, and have something that’s much higher quality and at low-pricing. You can pick any powder coat on our color chart as well (there’s dozens to choose from). 

Blog: Tee Markers & Tournament Supplies

by

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. 

 

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!
