Golf Course Furniture: The 5 Must-Haves 

Are you looking to enhance player comfortability, redo your course design, or build from scratch? For various benefits and purposes (like taking a break or gabbing a snack!), you’ll need to consider five must-haves for furniture. So, without further ado, here are the five most popular types of furniture you can use to furnish your golf course. 

Tee Box Benches 

Tee box benches are ideal for giving your players a break or providing an area to stage the golfers to come. It should prioritize all-weather capabilities and multiple seats for duos, trios, or foursome groups. For a simpler function, you can select a bench without a back or choose a bench with a back for added comfort. 

Course Benches 

Adding benches to other course areas can also enhance your visitor and player’s experience. For instance, a bench with a planter combo can highlight seasonal greenery and flowers for outdoor decor while providing a comfortable and aesthetic place to break. Many golf courses add benches and seating areas near pro shops or warm-up areas. 

Outdoor Tables 

Many golf course attendees (like spouses and partners!) are there for the rest, relaxation, and, often, good food from your course’s snack bar or restaurant. Plus, to enjoy the great outdoors! Let them simultaneously enjoy all of the above with strategically placed outdoor dining sets and tables. From picnic tables to hexagon style, there’s a design that works for any space. 

Recycling Bins & Trash Receptacles 

Last but not least, strategically placed and well-designed recycling bins and trash receptacles offer convenience and function to your guests and keep your course clean and tidy. Today, there are a variety of bins and receptacles, even those combined to take up less space and be dual-purpose. 

Benefits of Recycled Plastic for Outdoor Furniture 

There are many reasons golf courses across the US choose recycled plastic for their outdoor furniture. To complete our guide, here are a few benefits to consider for yours. 

  1. Unmatched Durability: Recycled plastic furniture’s most significant benefit is its exceptional durability, especially against harsh weather conditions, such as UV rays and constant exposure to rain and moisture (like the extra exposed area on Hole 11!). This makes recycled outdoor furniture ideal for golf courses, as it lasts years longer than traditional wood or metal furniture, maintaining its appearance without warping, splintering, or rusting.
  2. Reduced Maintenance: Outdoor plastic furniture is a change your maintenance staff will applaud! Golf courses can significantly reduce maintenance costs and labor hours since recycled plastic furniture never needs to be painted, stained, sealed, or refinished. This allows your groundskeeping staff to divert extra time from furniture maintenance to course upkeep instead.
  3. Eco-friendly Status: Nowadays, players can choose from a variety of courses. Help yours stand out with the sustainability factor the recycled plastic golf course furniture can provide. Adding these environmentally friendly pieces to your course demonstrates a visible commitment to environmental responsibility, helping appeal to increasingly eco-conscious members and guests while keeping thousands of pounds of plastic waste out of landfills.
  4. Enhanced Guest Safety: Recycled outdoor golf course furniture offer superior stability and safety for guests of all ages, with no risk of splintering, sharp edges, or unstable legs that can develop with traditional materials as they age and deteriorate.
  5. Aesthetic Appeal: Not only can you find recycled outdoor furniture in various colors, but when purchasing from the same manufacturer, you can carry the same color themes throughout the course for aesthetic appeal and consistency. Even more, the color-through process means that even if the furniture gets scratched or scraped, the color remains consistent without wearing it, maintaining a professional appearance throughout its extended lifespan.
  6. Long-term Value: As mentioned, recycled plastic furniture offers extreme value over time. It offers owners a significantly longer lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership compared to traditional furniture options that require frequent replacement.
  7. Ease in Maintenance: Outdoor recycled furniture pieces can be easily cleaned with standard cleaning products or simply hosed off, making it simple for staff to maintain spotless, hygienic conditions for guests even during peak season.
