How to Choose the Right Fairway Yardage Markers
​
Selecting Markers Based on Course Layout and Conditions
Course terrain and environmental factors guide optimal marker selection. Our premium materials and protective finishes ensure markers maintain appearance and legibility through harsh conditions, from coastal salt air to extreme temperatures.
Consistency with existing course elements creates visual harmony. Matching fairway yardage markers to tee box markers, practice green indicators, and other accessories demonstrates the attention to detail golfers associate with quality facilities following standard golf protocols.

Considering Mower Height and Maintenance Requirements
Our experienced team designs markers that accommodate mowing equipment while minimizing maintenance requirements. Durable construction reduces replacement frequency, with bronze markers serving courses for decades when properly maintained.
