Northwood Club Project

by

We recently built the driving accessories for Northwood Club in Dallas, Texas. We worked closely with their team to design custom made driving range accessories. Every detail was carefully thought out to give the best presentation possible. Notice how each product has a beautiful copper vein powder coat and symbols from their logo. 

Here’s what their driving range looks like this month with their new rhi setup. 

 

We designed the bagstands so that the could use the trays for a bottle of water, alignment rods, tees and either a towel or a range finder.

This driving range sign has removable flags on it in case there’s any changes down the road. 

Here’s an up-close photo of their range dividers. Because there’s a small space on the dividers, the course name often works better than the icon logo. 

Because of how much activity is on their driving range, we built their ball staging baskets larger than we do on average. We’re custom, so we’re happy to work with the dimensions that you think would work best at your particular facility. 

Broken tee boxes continue with the presentation, so we kept a high-level of detail on these for Northwood Club. 

Below is the customer designed scorecard box/amenity box. It’s 100% custom, and perfect for their needs. 

Then there’s the beverage caddie. In this case, we all felt that a ball cap looked better than adding a logo. Sometimes simple is best. It continues the presentation with the same coloring as the other products. 

Here’s a couple of photos of their driving range box that we took at our shop. Half of its designed for towels, while the other half has custom dividers for amenities that they need on hand like bug spray, sun screen, athletic tape, aspirin, etc. 

This Amenity Table actually comes from our driving range cart designs, but our customer didn’t need the wheels or cooler so we designed their product with just the ‘bed’ portion. 

Lastly, is their bag drops, which they call their ‘Sunday Bag Rack’. 

We’re excited to be in the works of another custom build for them. They have a beautiful course, and we’re happy to have had the opportunity to build their range accessories and signs. 

Moving away from the apple crates..

by

 

We’ve noticed the fad of the apple crates, but when we use them, we just got frustrated with the balls getting stuck in the crate.. And then we just dumped the balls out onto the grass and then went to hitting balls. This made the crew get to thinking,, there has to be a ball box that balls easily come out without getting stuck, right? What use is a box that balls get stuck in? 

So we went to designing and came up with different baskets and boxes. Here’s my personal favorite, the half barrel ball basket. You can position it on its side for a casual look with balls overflowing the side like Verde River Golf & Social Club did, or keep it upright. When its upright, the player tips the basket towards them and scoops the balls out with his/her club and then let’s go letting the basket go back into position. These are priced usually between $160 to $175 depending on the final design & quantity. You’ll love these!!!

We also make the smooth version of this basket. Above is the barrel look, but with Troon North we went with a more modern look.

 

Another alternative to the applecrate is the ball boxes that we build that have a movable door. This ball crate has the option of a slanted ramp in the bottom or corner ‘bumps’ that prevent the balls from getting stuck..

We also make the ball corral since some clients rather have an open door…

And you could always go against the grain and come up with something completely custom with us like Aldarra did last summer with their silo ball dispensers… Let your creative flag fly!!

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). 

Prize Table Ideas

by

There’s a lot of details and planning involved in tournaments. One of the questions comes up, what do we give the champions? Do we give a trophy to the flight winners? This past week we’ve worked with a couple of clients that show a great example of a consistent presentation in give-aways. 

First is Blue Jack National. For their Annual AVM Golf Tournament, we used the tournament’s logo as the main focus for their perpetual trophy, and for their champion awards. You can see how nice in looks on their prize ‘table’ (it’s actually  a custom made log bench that we sent them a few years ago). 

We’ve worked with Rib Crip Corp. for several years to make trophies fr their Pit Masters Tournament. Here’s what we did this year. 

This was the first time that we worked with Desert Lakes Golf Club in Fort Movae, AZ. We worked closely with their gm in producing what he envisioned. We engraved their sponsor info on the top plates of the trophy bases. 

Last up for this post, is the annunal ‘Swing & Sting’ trophies that we have done the past few years for Victory Ranch in Utah. 

Full Customization -> Bag Stands

by

What do your players need on-hand while on the range? We began a decade ago with a basic no-tray bag stand, and then it evolved. Our clients (you) have developed our stands into a unit that meets the players’ changing needs. If you browse our website, you’ll see that a lot of the trays are a little bit different. Some have 2 cup holders, others have 1 cup holder and 1 spot for a range finer, or holes for alignment rods, etc. It’s limitless, really. Just let us know what works for your players and we’ll create a custom-made bag stand. 

Last week we worked with Rolling Hills CC in Hills Estates, California.  Their super sent us their range finder so that we could custom fit it in their stands during production. We designed the stand so that the range finder could be attached to it, which avoids the issue of any ‘walking away’.. 

 

Here’s the custom tray that we built awhile back for The Madison Club (Discovery course). They had us drill holes for alignment rods behind the compartment for it, while The Cliffs had us create a box solely for their range finder. Everyone is so different, which makes life interesting here at RHI. 

Ending question: What kind of tray works best for your range?

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.
