The Art of Multi-Layer Steel Construction
When it comes to creating memorable golf experiences, every detail matters – including the tee signs that guide players through each hole. At GG Markers, we've perfected the art of crafting premium steel tee signs that combine functionality with striking visual appeal, as showcased in these stunning examples from a desert golf course.
These exceptional 48-inch tall precision-cut steel tee markers represent the pinnacle of golf course signage craftsmanship. Each sign features a sophisticated multi-layer design that creates both visual depth and long-lasting durability. The construction process involves:
Top layer excellence: Precision-cut steel components featuring powder-coated colored stars and custom logos
Secure Integration: All decorative elements are professionally bolted and welded into the main structure for maximum stability.
Professional Back Panel: Black powder-coated steel backing provides contrast and weather protection
Corten Steel: Beauty Through Natural Weathering
What sets these custom golf tee signs apart is the intentional use of raw, unfinished Corten steel. This isn't an oversight – it's a deliberate design choice that allows the signs to develop a beautiful, protective rust patina over time. This weathering process creates a unique, evolving aesthetic that complements desert and natural landscapes. Additionally, it provides superior corrosion resistance compared to regular steel which also eliminates the need for ongoing maintenance. With each season the signs develop character that becomes more striking with every change of weather.
Functional Design Meets Course Aesthetics
Each marker displays precise yardage information for multiple tee positions, using color-coded stars that correspond to different skill levels and tee locations. The clear, bold numbering ensures easy readability from various distances and lighting conditions. Notice how seamlessly the course branding integrates into the overall design. Whether featuring the "Gambler" theme with its distinctive mountain silhouette or the "Palmer" roadrunner logo, each marker becomes a branded landmark that enhances the course's unique identity.

Why Steel Tee Signs Are the Premium Choice for Golf Courses
Steel tee signs are an ideal solution for golf courses that want to combine durability, style, and long-term value. Premium facilities often choose custom steel signage to enhance their professional image and deliver a superior player experience. They are especially well-suited for desert and mountain courses where extreme weather demands maximum resilience, as well as renovation or new construction projects looking for cohesive, high-quality signage that complements architectural themes. By investing in steel tee signs, course owners ensure that their facilities project a polished, professional look that lasts for decades.
One of the biggest advantages of custom steel tee signs is their versatility in design. Powder coating is available in virtually any color scheme, allowing the signs to align perfectly with a course’s branding. Logos, mascots, or other design elements can be seamlessly integrated, while a range of shapes and sizes—from traditional rectangular signs to fully custom silhouettes—ensures each course has signage that matches its unique layout and identity. This level of customization not only enhances aesthetics but also creates a cohesive player experience from the first tee to the final green.
Beyond appearance, steel tee signs provide significant long-term value. While the upfront investment may be higher than plastic or vinyl alternatives, the durability of steel means reduced replacement costs, minimal maintenance, and exceptional weather resistance. These signs maintain their integrity and visual appeal for decades, ultimately saving courses money while elevating their image. For golf course owners and developers, custom steel tee signs are more than just markers—they are functional design elements that enhance the overall player experience, support premium green fees, and showcase the facility’s commitment to quality.
