Updating your range in 2020

June 30, 2020 by Joy Ball

Start with what’s essential when updating your range or course accessories…

The Summer of 2020 might not be the time that your club is wanting to update the entire driving range, especially if you are in the North or East Coast. But you still need things… COVID-19 did not change the fact that your recycled plastic bag stands aren’t holding up to the weather and need to be replaced badly…
It’s a good idea to write down EVERYTHING that needs to be updated on the course and the range on a piece of paper. Then prioritize it and write a new list for 2020 with the ‘must haves’ and then the ‘would like to haves’ for 2021. This advice could really apply to personal life as well as a way of cutting spending and focusing on what matters most in life instead of the distractions…
At RHI Golf we’re seeing that many projects are being done in multiple steps. For example, some of our clients are ordering bags stands only instead of the range dividers, club cleaners, ball crates, etc. Or maybe all of the signage needs to be updated, but for now the most important thing is to get signs out there so people aren’t riding their rvs or walking their dogs where they potentially could be hit by golf balls, so a partial signage order is placed with the intention that more signs will be ordered in the near future. There are still full range orders being placed and capital funds are being released more and more. But don’t stress if there’s pressure to keep spending to a minimum. So start with the essentials and go from there. Not everything has to be done all at once. Breathe. You got this.

Here’s a look at some of the driving range & course supplies that have been going out our doors lately.

This is the mini-cart that we made for Tributary Club in Driggs, Idaho. Usually we made large carts, but sometimes a little smaller is just right!!

Range Dividers for Lubbock Country Club. We also made bag stands and trash can enclosures for them, but with their tree logo. For the dividers, we wanted to mix it up a little.

These are the clean & simple yardage markers that we made for Soule Park Golf Course in California.

At Champions Retreat we made them 5 sets of tee markers for their course in Georgia. The tee markers are naturally rusted steel with a low-gloss clear coat over the logos’ powder coat. They’re going for a low-key rustic look. Accomplished!!!

We did a few essential signs for Blackstone Country Club.

As states start to re-open, tournaments are going back on the calender (below are a few trophies).

What’s New at RHI Golf

December 20, 2019 by Joy Ball

Hi everyone. Today’s blog is a look into what’s been going out the doors here at RHI Golf so you can get inspiration..

The Director of Golf at Blackhawk Country Club created these bag stands and ball containers designs and breathed life into his sketches. It’s really great as a client to have that much control over the design and production. It’s the beauty of a custom shop like us.

We made more for their range setup, but this is what I was able to take a photo of before our speedy shipping department crated the order.

Below are the bag stands that we’ve recently made for The Plantation Club and Madison Club.

This is the club cleaner that University of Louisville Athletics had us make.

Here’s 2 different kinds of ball crates that we just made. The ball crates are our answer to the applecrate and t hey work so much better.

We’re happy to have the opportunity to work with Top Golf on their trash can enclosures and benches.

This is the broken tee box that we made for Redrock Country Club.

Our specialty is custom driving range accessories, but we have such a good relationship with our clients that they continuously ask us to also help with tournament awards. Here’s what we’ve made the last couple of weeks.

We also have to share the trail signs that we made this week for Summit Club in Las Vegas (Discovery Land Co. course). These small signs (12″x12″) will look great on their trails and give needed info to those who walk their trails.

Last up are the BEARDOWN tee markers (re-order) that we made for University of Arizona. I love the look of these, don’t you?

Thanks everyone for reading our blog!!

Directional Arrow Ideas

April 24, 2019 by Joy Ball

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.
