Golf Course Etiquette Signage: Clear Messages For A Better Course

Good golf course etiquette plays an important part in keeping a course in good condition and making the game enjoyable for everyone. Most golfers know what is expected of them, but a simple reminder in the right place can make a real difference.

That is where clear, well-positioned signage comes in.

At DayLinks Golf Course Equipment, we supply a wide range of golf signs for different locations and purposes around the course. From reminders about repairing pitchmarks and raking bunkers to directions for trolleys and buggies, the right signs help golfers understand what is expected without getting in the way of their game.

Simple reminders to help care for the course

Looking after the course is part of good golf etiquette. Small actions from individual golfers can help maintain playing areas throughout the day, which is why reminders can be useful even when the message is familiar.

Our golf signage is available with everyday messages including please repair pitchmarks, please rake bunkers and please replace divots. Placing these messages where they are most relevant gives golfers a quick reminder at the right time.

For greens, our pitchmark repair sign offers a particularly clear way to get the message across. The sign itself is shaped like a pitchmark repair tool and displays the message asking golfers to repair their pitchmarks.

The standard version measures 90mm x 305mm and is manufactured from 3mm cut steel with a powder-coated finish. It has a laminated gloss UV printed graphic. There is also a larger 600mm x 175mm version manufactured from powder-coated aluminium.

It is a straightforward message, but one that can support the everyday care of greens by keeping pitchmark repair in players’ minds.

Mark areas that golfers need to avoid

There are also times when certain areas of a course need to be kept clear. Signage makes it much easier to communicate this without leaving golfers unsure about where they should walk, play or take their equipment.

Our single spike sign is available with a choice of standard wording suitable for these situations. Messages include please keep off, tee area closed, putting green closed, no chipping, no trolleys, no carts and GUR.

The sign measures 200mm x 150mm and is made from 3mm cut steel with a powder-coated finish. It also features a laminated gloss UV printed graphic.

For locations where a larger sign is more suitable, a twin spike sign measures 300mm x 200mm. Like the single spike version, it is made from 3mm cut steel with a powder-coated finish and laminated gloss UV printed graphics.

There is also the option to enter your own message, giving clubs more flexibility when standard wording does not cover what they need to communicate.

Make trolley and buggy routes easier to follow

Etiquette around the course is not just about caring for greens, bunkers and tees. It also includes following the correct routes, particularly when using trolleys or buggies.

Clear directional signage can help golfers understand where they need to go without having to stop and work out the route.

The DayLinks range includes directional messages for trolleys and buggies, with options for left, right and straight ahead. Signs can also be used to point golfers towards the next tee or identify a drop zone.

These simple directions can be particularly useful at points where routes split or where golfers need to be directed away from a particular area.

For a smaller format, our single spike tee peg sign measures 150mm in diameter and has an overall length of 320mm. It is manufactured from 3mm cut steel with a powder-coated finish and a laminated gloss UV printed graphic.

Its available messages cover a wide range of uses, including reminders to repair pitchmarks, rake bunkers and replace divots, as well as trolley, buggy and next tee directions.

Use the right type of sign for each location

One type of sign will not necessarily work everywhere. The message, viewing position and area of the course can all affect the style of signage required.

Our golf signs range includes single spike signs, twin spike signs, lollipop tee peg signs, arrow signs, A-frame folding signs, A4 snap framed signs and larger twin spiked signs.

We also offer a golf course information sign and Par Aide Dura-Flex signs.

This choice makes it possible to use different formats around the course while keeping important instructions and information easy for golfers to understand.

Clear signage supports good etiquette

Good golf course signage does not need to be complicated. In many cases, a few words are enough.

A reminder to rake a bunker, repair a pitchmark or replace a divot tells golfers exactly what they need to do. A keep off or no trolleys sign makes a restriction clear, while an arrow pointing towards the next tee, trolley route or buggy route helps players continue around the course.

At DayLinks Golf Course Equipment, we provide practical signage for these everyday requirements, with different sizes, formats and messages available to suit locations throughout the course.
