With over 100 ranges worldwide our Golf Ball Washer Dryer System efficiently cleans and dries millions of golf balls per day. Our specialty is providing dependable, long lasting equipment that results in little to no revenue draining down time. In addition, the combination of what was previously two separate machines means less space is required and fewer total moving parts.

Built entirely out of stainless steel our Ball Washer Dryer is proven to withstand the harsh elements providing complete rust protection! Not only will you have a reliable machine for many years, but ball jams and wet golf balls are a thing of the past.
Instead of a single stage ball washer we send the golf balls through 3 different stages that minimize the wear you find from other washers on the market.

First, golf balls are fed through 3 brushes and 10 water jets to gently remove the majority of dirt, sand and turf.
Compact design makes placement easy
From there, the golf balls push themselves through another 4 brushes. These continue to scrub and remove any remaining turf, dirt and sand.
Soak Tank – Washer/Dryer – Elevator
Finally, the golf balls travel along 4 drying brushes while a high velocity blower completes the process. This ensures a steady supply of clean dry golf balls for the storage and supply process. Let our machines do the dirty work. This allows you to focus on the more important aspects of your driving range business.
Elevators from Range Automation Systems are an economical, durable and maintenance free solution to your golf ball transport needs. The rust-free, stainless steel buckets can hold 5 or 8 balls each. This constant flow will keep your range humming 24 hours a day.

“We are a Top 50 GRAA standalone premier golf range in the United States. Having previous experience with Range Automation Systems (RAS) equipment, I knew they could provide us with a highly reliable and cost effective auto-ball feeding system. Having a two tier golf range deck with auto-teeing, we needed a dependable ball feeding system to keep up with the demands of our customers who hit over 10 million balls a year. RAS did not disappoint as their ball feeding system has provided golf balls to our customers with little to no disruption. In addition to the benefits seen by our customers, the new system has reduced our staff costs due to its efficiency. Along with their products, RAS has always provided first class support and outstanding service. We look forward to working with RAS again for our equipment needs in the near future.”

We are proud to announce the UltraSlim, the shortest golf ball auto tee machine in the world at only 140mm/5.5 inches tall. This makes installation easier and more affordable! Outdoor ranges can save on materials and floor height. Indoor systems benefit from added ceiling height for an optimal swing path. Plus, the UltraSlim is so reliable, it is standard equipment in our Stryker Indoor system. The UltraSlim was also recently used on the second level of the beautiful Launchpad at Heritage Pointe.
The UltraSlim motor enables stepless adjustment of the tee height within 0-60mm(0-2.36″) to accept various club sizes. Our UltraSlim can be set to your preferred height, compared to some tee machines that only allow 2 or 3 pre-set heights.
Fully Adjustable Tee Height
By comparison, a standard tee machine is up to 60mm/2.36 inches taller. This requires not only more building materials, but also more time to properly install. Therefore you will save money by reducing the infrastructure required to install an UltraSlim automated tee-up system.
We at Range Automation Systems are constantly improving our products. The future is with automation and we at RAS are here to help you make that happen. Call today and find out how we can help update and improve your range.
Why automate your range? Simply put, automating your driving range equipment will bring new customers who hit more balls in a shorter time. Whether you are updating an older range or building from scratch, the choice to automate is a clear winner. The golf industry is experiencing a tech boom. Todays customers expect ranges to keep up. The future is heading towards more and better tech and the customers are happily following.
Lets compare golf to another industry: Bowling. Up until the 1950’s bowling alleys would pay people to manually clear the pins, send the ball back to the bowler and reset the pins. Then came automation. The entire process increased in speed, consistency, customer enjoyment and most importantly, the bowling alleys profits. It would be a surprise to walk into a bowling alley today that wasn’t automated.
To satisfy a driving range owners need for increased revenue while offering a unique practice experience, Range Automation Systems (RAS) has developed and implemented the worlds most efficient turn-key automated golf ball washing/drying, storage, delivery and tee-up system. Our solutions are extremely flexible, durable and proven to increase gross revenue by a minimum of 33%! With RAS, you will receive:
Dependable Driving Range Equipment
We automate your range with equipment that is built tough to provide years of trouble free operation. With over 28 years in business and 20,000+ stations serving up millions of balls a year, we understand how reliable our equipment needs to be. A full warranty of product and installation covers every piece of our equipment.
Increased Revenue
The key to large sales figures is to increase the customer’s hit rate and purchase amount. Often, a golfer will take minutes to tee the ball and realign their stance. Automatically teeing up the ball increases the hit rate dramatically. This eliminates the wasted time moving around, as well as creating a unique practice session for the customer.
There is also the benefit that you may offer your regular customers; a membership card in denominations as high as $999.99. Our membership card program will increase the average sale amount since the customer is able to buy larger amounts of balls to use over many visits. This float factor can be very high and provides better cash control for the range.
Golfers will hit 30%-40% more balls in less time, increasing revenue per customer, per visit. Maximizing a driving range’s profits is the core to a successful business model. RAS offers a flexible turn key system that is proven to increase revenue while enhancing the customers practice session. With so many years of driving range experience, you can rest assured that you are purchasing the most advanced and reliable equipment available in the industry today.
When you automate your range, you choose to be the best. In choosing RAS you will partner with the industry leader whose top quality products, excellent customer service and continuing research and development ensure your ability to face the challenges of increasing your customer base and driving range profits.

EZ-Shot Auto Tee + DR1600 Automated Golf Ball Dispenser = EZ-Bay Auto System
Recently we combined the DR1600 together with the EZ-Shot to create the new EZ-Bay System. Install the DR1600 Automated Golf Ball Dispenser next to the EZ-Shot Auto Tee to get the most out of our affordable automation. To activate, your customer simply waves their club in front of the sensor, dispensing one golf ball.
Simply roll that ball over the EZ-Shot Tee which will tee it up automatically! The EZ-Bay System can also easily be integrated with TopTracer® for an interactive experience.
EZ-Shot Auto Tee System
The EZ-Shot Golf Auto Tee System is an affordable, easy-to-install machine that will dramatically upgrade your driving range facility. At only 150mm/5.9″ in-depth it is one of the smallest auto tees on the market today. The Auto Tee mechanism sits flush with the hitting surface until the customer rolls a ball over the tee. Once the optical sensor detects a golf ball, it will lift the ball to the desired height (up to 63mm/2.5inches).
Each ball will be automatically raised to the same height as the previous ball unless changed on the control pad. A large LCD screen displays information such as Balls/Time remaining and Tee height/Bay number. To adjust the ball height, simply use a golf club to tap the large up and down buttons.
Additionally, because balls are automatically teed up, the need to bend over to tee every shot is eliminated. The EZ-Bay Auto System is a great upgrade that your customers will appreciate and return to time and time again.
