What are Driving Range and Golf Netting Poles / Lighting Poles?

Driving ranges and golf courses require specialized poles for two primary purposes: backstop netting and sports lighting. Sports fields and driving ranges that are equipped with backstop netting create a safe zone barrier, preventing stray balls from exiting the premises. Mount sports light fixtures to support poles for nighttime golf and field play.

Types of Poles Suitable for Golf Courses and Driving Ranges

• Anchor-Based Poles: Ideal for permanent installations, these poles involve pouring a concrete base and securing the pole with anchor pins. They are perfect for mounting heavy lighting fixtures and sturdy netting systems.
• Direct Burial Poles: Commonly used for temporary construction or semi-permanent lighting or netting setups. These poles, often made of treated wood, steel, or fiberglass, are directly buried into the ground with the appropriate diameter and are suitable for areas with less stringent requirements.

Materials Used in Golf Course Netting Poles and Driving Range Poles

• Steel Poles: Durable and strong, perfect for holding heavy lighting fixtures and sports nets.
• Wooden Poles: Cost-effective, suitable for barrier nets and sports lighting.
• Fiberglass Poles: Lightweight and easy to install, ideal for lightweight fixtures and sports nets. Fiberglass poles offer a superior service life of up to 80 years.
