Golf Center Des Plaines Testimonial

Golf Center at Des Plaines

We are one of the premier driving ranges in the United States and were in need of a major overhaul on our ball delivery system. We have 3 floors with 80 stations that is open year round with over 12 million balls hit annually. Our old system did not function at the level that we needed with the volume of golfers that we have. We were very comfortable with RAS when they came out to look at our system in detail. The new system was installed while we were open for business and was very timely. Their customer service and support is top notch and could not have asked for anything more. The customer support has truly blown me away. With the new system, we never run out of balls for our customers. The customer feedback has been overwhelming with all positive feedback. On top of the performance of the new conveyors and system, we have been able to cut over $40,000 a year on staff cost as the system is much more efficient. We will certainly look at working with them again in the future!

Golf Ball Conveyor Systems

Why Invest in an Automated Golf Ball Conveyor System?

A Golf Ball Conveyor System adds speed, efficiency and safety to any driving range venue.

  • Replace the back breaking job of hauling heavy golf balls with a modern proven system.
  • Our automated conveyors enable faster transport of golf balls even at curved non linear venues.
  • Along with greater efficiency, which can increase customer turnover, automated conveyor systems move balls more smoothly, reducing damage compared to blowers. A mangled ball results in frustration, and ultimately, damage to your customers’ relationship and even lost revenue.
  • In addition to efficiency and damage reduction, golf ball conveyor systems enable personnel to replace physically demanding, repetitive labor with tasks that better serve the venue. Furthermore, our systems help to reduce injury, absence from work and expensive bay downtime.

Currently, our unique system offers the following advantages:

    • Automated Sensor Control – Makes efficient use of operations.
    • Auto or Manual mode – Have it operate at certain times or just turn it on whenever you need.
    • Whisper quiet – Run during work hours with no disruption to the customer.
    • 3 golf balls wide belt driven – Our wide belts fill ranges quickly and quietly
    • Aluminum and stainless steel construction- Built to last for years of trouble free use.
    • 30,000 Ball per hour supply rate – Able to keep up with even the busiest of ranges.
    • Forward and reverse operation –  Fill and purge. Make the most of your space.

The Golf Center Des Plaines had an aged and broken screw-type conveyor. This old type was slow and needed constant repair. It could not keep up with the demands of the range. However, now with a high speed conveyor from RAS, they are better than ever. If you think your range could use an upgrade, check out our conveyor page to find out more. Or just give us a call and one of our experienced professionals will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

In 2013 we were contacted by the Skokie Sports Park to help update their old auto-tee system. We began with replacing their ‘screw-type’ conveyor with our reliable belt driven Conveyor.

Soon they discovered that their old elevator just wasn’t able to keep pace with the new, efficient conveyor. So in 2016 we returned to install a new stainless steel elevator.

Alongside we installed 40 TrackTee Smart Bay Dividers to enhance the customer practice experience. Skokie Sports Park is also home to two adventure golf courses, Traveler’s Quest and Kid’s Quest, as well as a batting cages and a party/meeting room. Fun for the whole family.

Our customers hit over 10 million balls a year. RAS did not disappoint as their ball feeding system has provided golf balls to our customers without 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.
