Custom Tee Markers: What the PGA Championship at Aronimink Gets Right (And What Your Course Can Learn From It)
The 2026 PGA Championship is underway at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania — and if you're watching this week, you're seeing what a golf course looks like when no detail is left to chance. For golf course operators thinking about custom tee markers, the timing couldn't be better. The PGA Championship is a reminder that presentation matters — and that the tee box is where that message starts.
What Makes a Great Custom Tee Marker?
Not all custom tee markers are created equal. Walk any championship-caliber course, and you'll notice the markers feel purposeful — they reflect the course's brand, communicate yardage clearly, and hold up through weather, equipment, and years of use.
At GG Markers, every custom tee marker is built with that same standard in mind. Each design starts with your course's logo or branding and is crafted to bring it to life in one of four signature
styles: cut aluminum, cast metal, Parkast resin, or carved sandstone. The result isn't a catalog product with your logo slapped on — it's a marker designed specifically for your course.
That distinction matters more than most course operators realize.
The Problem With Generic Tee Markers
Browse the internet for custom tee markers, and you'll find plenty of options. Standard shapes, catalog finishes, and a logo imprint at checkout. For courses running tight budgets, generic markers get the job done — but they also blend in. They don't reinforce your brand. They don't elevate the experience. And when they start to fade or chip, they quietly undermine the impression your course is trying to make.
Custom tee markers from GG Markers are built differently. Here's what sets them apart:
True design customization. Your logo isn't applied to an off-the-shelf shape. Our team interprets your brand and determines how to best bring it to life in the material you choose — capturing fine detail in metalwork, or highlighting texture and depth in stone or resin.
Four premium material options. Cut aluminum, cast metal, Parkast resin, and carved sandstone each offer distinct aesthetics and performance characteristics. Not sure which is right for your course? [Link to material comparison post] We'll help you choose.
Built to last. Every GG Markers tee marker is manufactured for outdoor durability — not a season, but years of use across every kind of weather your course sees.
A process designed around you. From first proof to final delivery, you'll know exactly what your markers will look like before anything goes into production.
Custom Tee Markers and the Championship Standard
Back to Aronimink. The course was designed by Donald Ross — one of the most celebrated architects in golf history — and has earned its place among America's top-100 courses. This week, it's hosting the PGA Championship for the first time since 1962.
What makes a course like Aronimink visually striking isn't just the conditioning or the architecture. It's the cohesion. Every element of the course communicates the same message: this place has standards.
Your course doesn't need to host a major to hold itself to a major's standard. But it does need to be intentional about what every element communicates — including what players see when they walk onto the tee box.
Custom tee markers with your club's logo, done well, do more than mark yardage. They tell your members and guests that your course pays attention. That impression carries through every round — and into every conversation about your club afterward.
