Golf netting is a type of fencing that every golf course needs to keep golf balls from flying out beyond property lines. Because not everyone is going to be a Tiger Woods and keep their ball right on course, having just a normal fence won’t always help. A high-flying golf ball could easily go over a standard fence and land on an adjoining property. It could even cause injury to someone when a ball travels at high speed.

This applies not only to the borders of the golf course property, but also for driving ranges or smaller areas where players practice their swing.

If you’ve just opened a new golf course, take a look at the types of golf netting you’ll want for the safety of everyone.

Golf Impact Netting

You’ll want to use golf impact netting around your golf course for close range golf shots. The quality of the netting is going to make a difference when the ball hits the net at high speed on driving ranges or near a tee. Nylon is the most common material used, though polyester is considered to be more UV resistant. Either material is very durable and can hold up well for years under sun exposure. However, a customized net can add an extra layer of nylon if you think your netting will be taking on numerous close-range, high-impact hits.

The mesh size also has to be considered, and the most common size is about 3/4 inches. This can also be customized depending on how much impact you think your netting is going to have.

Barrier Netting

This type of netting will be used around your golf course to keep long-distance shots from flying beyond property lines. The width on the mesh can be larger here due to less impact the netting takes. For the most part, about one inch is all you need on the mesh dimensions, though it can also be customized. This type of netting can be constructed at variable heights to accommodate players with powerful swings.

Golf Cages

When you want to provide a practice area for players to practice their swings, a golfing cage is a perfect choice. These are very customizable and can be designed in compact ways or more permanent setups for professional courses. They employ the same high-quality netting materials mentioned above, plus can be designed in various shapes. They’re also designed for high-impact hitting so golfers can practice their swings without anyone in the vicinity potentially getting hurt. But consider using a steel framing so the cage can have long-term durability when used outdoors.
