Tee & Driving Range Construction

Hummer builds tees and driving ranges that can take a beating.

Better Tees, Better Drives.

From par-3 tee boxes to full driving ranges, Hummer builds and renovates tees with precision to withstand constant traffic and maintain playability.

Tee & Driving Range Construction Services

Tee boxes and driving ranges absorb more repeated impact than almost any other area on the golf course. When they’re not built correctly, the result is predictable—uneven lies, divots that never heal, thin turf, and endless maintenance cycles that drain time and budgets. Hummer specializes in constructing tees that strike the perfect balance between durability, playability, and visual appeal.

Our process begins with laser-precise grading to establish ideal grade, followed by installation of engineered root-zone mixes designed for firmness, drainage, and rapid recovery. We integrate reinforced drainage, proper subsurface support, and turf varieties matched to each location’s traffic patterns and microclimate. For driving ranges, we build expansive, high-performance hitting surfaces with options ranging from premium natural-turf builds to hybrid solutions that support consistent play day after day.

Whether you’re constructing new tees or upgrading aging ones, Hummer delivers surfaces that drain efficiently, withstand heavy member use, recover quickly, and present the polished aesthetics expected at premier golf facilities. It’s tee construction engineered for performance—round after round.

Laser Grading & Precision Surfaces

Golfers expect a level stance every time they tee it up. Hummer uses advanced laser-guided grading systems to establish precise tee box elevations, surface contours, and drainage patterns. This ensures firm footing, predictable lies, and a perfectly level hitting surface that supports consistent play and reduces long-term maintenance.

Fraze Mowing

We use specialized root-zone blends that combine sand, soil, and organic matter in precise ratios to promote turf health under heavy traffic. Paired with fraze mowing to remove thatch, surface contamination, and weak vegetation, these engineered mixes improve drainage, reduce compaction, and help turf recover quickly after repeated use.

Specialty Surfacing for Golf Courses

Hummer installs turf varieties specifically suited to heavy-use tee boxes and driving ranges. Whether sodding, sprigging, or seeding, we establish dense, resilient turf that holds up to frequent divots, maintains clean aesthetics, and recovers quickly between rounds – selecting turf varieties that best suit the climate, site conditions, and traffic demands. For driving ranges and par-3 tees, this often means choosing durable, fast-recovering grasses that maintain density even under constant use.
