Custom Golf Course Accessories
by Joy Ball
It’s crazy, but Eastern Washington and North Idaho are currently tied with Pheonix, AZ as the hottest spot in the entire country. It’s currently in mid-80’s which is unseasonably hot for around here this time of year. Feels like summer, but I’m sure it’s only temporary.
For as crazy busy as we’ve been the last few weeks, I don’t have very many pictures to put up. I’m going to blame it on the idea that the guys have been too busy to stop and take pictures, and not that I forgot to charge the camera battery…
First up, a perpetual trophy for the “Discovery Cup” tournament at the Madison Club. The big star on top turned out amazing!
Then we have a couple different tournament contest items. Some proximity markers for The Dutch, and some cool two-colored A-frame announcement signs for Greate Bay. The cattails are gold, and the rest of the logo is green.
Finally, a set of tee markers for Carmel Valley Ranch. The colors are unusual, but I like it. At least it’s not just red, black and blue.
Have a great weekend!

Not sure what it is, but I have an almost uncontrollable urge to start hurling things around the shop like Donkey Kong. Oh yeah, I know what it is. These awesome barrell trophies that we just finished up for The Cliffs. Solid steel with a natural rust finish and hammered metal bands, these things turned out amazing!
Eagle Bend ordered some custom range spacers for between the stalls on their practice facility and a couple of large boxes that they can put bottle water in. These boxes are durable aluminum – so they won’t rust – and watertight. There is a drain plug on the side for when you need it.
Olympia Country Club ordered a full set of these tee markers. Thanks!
These yardage signs are for the Par 3 holes at LakeRidge. They can add numbers with the day’s yardages to really speed up play.
Finally, we have these proximity markers for Enger Park.
It’s Friday, with the best weather we’ve had yet this year. Plenty more to see next week! Have a great weekend!

It’s been an incredibly busy couple weeks, thank you for making the first part of this year great! Wanted to throw some pictures up of all of the stuff we’ve been working on lately. Lots of great trophies and other tournament accessories. Let us know if you see anything you’d like for your own course!
Let’s start off with three words….
“Great White Buffalo”
These great range targets are 6′ wide and almost 4′ tall. They’re for Huntsman Springs in Driggs, Idaho, you’ll see some other great stuff for them by the time we’re done…
“Great White Buffalo”
Now let’s get back to trophies and awards, the next three here are each for different themed tournaments at Huntsman Springs:
Then several tournament awards for The Gallery:
Here’s a giant six-plus foot tall trophy for Walt Disney World Golf’s Club of the Year. Each layer can be removed and/or added, kind of like the Stanley Cup!
Here are some great looking trophies for the Madison Club. I don’t mean to brag (well….), but they had a last minute glitch with their other awards maker – we designed and turned these out in less than a week!
Some cool “rock textured” ones for Martis Camp
And finally some awards for the Doc Cover Golf Classic charity event
Here are a few tee markers we finished for the Coeur d’Alene Public and Shorehaven
Some custom amenities/scorecard and towel boxes for Muttontown, and a podium for Huntsman Springs
A bunch of different proximity markers:
Some practice range “teaching area” signs for the Gallery:
And last, but not least, inground yardage markers for Gozzer Ranch:
Have a great weekend!

We’ve been swamped for the last couple months, and I realized I haven’t posted any pictures in quite a while – so, here’s a few of things we’ve been working on… First off is some really cool tee markers we did for Brian Griffiths Golf Academy in the Netherlands.
We did a giant pile of range spacers for Des Moines Golf Club:
The Gallery has been keeping us busy here is a bunch of different items for them.
First up were some award plaques and a perpetual plaque for thier Member-Member tournament called The Compadre.
Then some custom signage for around the resort. A sign for the 9th tee to call in food to pick up at the turn, and another set of signs that go in front of their guest cottages where they can drop in a sign with the guest’s name, and a set of easels where they can put posters, signs, etc.
Some custom signs for Hayden Lake and Larel Creek. Laurel Creek has assigned parking spaces for their Men and Women’s Club Champions…
Hidden Valley asked for a couple different big sizes of their logo to mount on walls around the property. The big one is about 6′ wide, and the small one is 4′.
Some more awards. I posted the renderings for these in the previous post, here is the finished product for Osage National and Seaview…
There were some more custom course signage for Manito. They wanted signs for the Par 3’s where they could post the days’ yardages. What a great way to speed up play! We also did a pro shop sign and some proximity markers for Whitemarsh.
A really nice lady (and apparently a great wife!) called us to inquire about custom accessories that she could buy to give her husband as a Valentine’s Day present. Apparently he has a simulator setup in his garage, and she wanted some gear to help deck the place out. Here’s a custom sign, a range ball box, and a small table for him to set his laptop on. Happy Valentine’s Day, indeed!
Finally, our friend Kathy Jensen asked us to help create a unique piece that she could use for demonstrations at a trade show and awards presentation. We created this custom treasure chest. The interior is leather lined, and in the lid we mounted a digital screen that can display pictures and videos. This one was a lot of fun to build!
Let us know if we can help with anything to get ready for Spring!

Been a little while since I’ve posted some of the projects we’ve been working on, I’ve been busy getting our new brochure put together and our new stock item online store up and running…
First up are these tee markers that we did for Ball State University. These were a lot of fun and turned out great!
Next were a bunch of different Proximity Markers and KP signs (or Tee Announcements, whatever you want to call them :) )
Darien CC:
Floridian:
The Cliffs:
And some great new ones (including the new-style closest to the pin Proximity Marker) for Ocean Reef Club
We had a request for a “shadow box” type presentation for a hole in one award. There were places for the lucky ball, the scorecard, and a photo…
Some trophies for the Tumble Creek Cup:
New Tee Markers for Shorehaven…
Some replacement signs to go on the tee signs at Quintero out of polished Stainless Steel – will look great for a long time!
And finally new Tee Monument signs for Southern Dunes, which is owned by the Ak-Chin nation of Native Americans. Each sign contains the yardage to the hole from the tee box and other information, but then also the Ak-Chin name for the hole, as well as a translation into English. These signs were a lot of fun! They then took each of these signs and mounted them on custom brick/masonry walls and planter beds that they added at each hole. I’m sure they look amazing.
I guess that’s everything for now. There’s a lot of new stuff in progress that I hope we’ll get at least one more post up yet this year!

Sorry, it’s been a couple weeks since my last post. As everyone gears up for the start of the golf season (at least up North!), we’ve been swamped. Here are a few pictures of some of the things we’ve been working on.
Here are several different proximity markers at several different price points. The brushed aluminum cards look great and save you money. The custom raised logos are a great upgrade. The one for Roaring Forks is one of my favorites we’ve done yet.
Then we’ve had a couple sets of miniflags. One is for a corporate sponsorship for a charity event. What a great way to advertise for your sponsors!
We’ve also had a couple sets of custom tournament-specific tee markers. Both Framingham CC and San Luis Obispo asked for tee markers to help make their event memorable.
Finally, I know I posted some photos of the sample trophy we built for the River Club, but the finished items were completed yesterday. Jason added some bark texture to the bases, that – along with the handpainting- make these truly unique gifts.

Just wanted to show a few pictures of some of the things going out the door this week…
First up, we finished a pile of trophies for Anthem’s Member Guest – The Duel in the Desert. These have a new ‘wrap’ design we’ve done, and then the top plate is hand painted. The two champion trophies have hand-sculpted and hand painted cactuses, also. The copper color on these, is one of my favorites. These turned out amazing!
Doral Resort saw some of the sample ‘casino’ style tee markers we did, and decided they’d be perfect for a tournament event they were hosting. Here are the brushed aluminum tournament set we are doing for them.
Eagle Springs needed a few more of their tee markers. These are still one of my favorites.
We did this great hanging sign for the Golf Shop at Huntingdon Valley, what a unique logo!
We also built a couple of these A-frame style signs for Royal Oaks. They have a set of numbers that slides into the sleeve, so the Pro can indicate what time the range is closing today. These are double-sided so they can easily be seen from any angle.
Finally, we had a set of proximity markers for Kennett Square. They went with the brushed aluminum cards, which is a great look, and saves money over the powdercoated version.
Have a great weekend!
