DuringAfterBergen County's Darlington Golf Course in Mahwah, New Jersey rebuilt its driving range as part of a larger renovation aimed at giving residents a country club experience at public course prices. Gorilla Netting replaced the range's 100 ft wood poles with 150 ft steel poles and a thicker, high-strength polyester breakaway netting system.
The challenge
What the range was up against
Snow and wind storms had severely damaged the range's wood support poles, and they needed to be replaced. The aging netting no longer gave the range the safety and durability it required, so the county closed the driving range for the renovation.
What we built
The system we designed and installed
Gorilla Netting was awarded the contract to design, engineer, and install the new system. Its breakaway feature lets the netting panels release from the wire rope cables and poles in high winds or under heavy snow and ice, which protects the netting, the poles and cables, and the surrounding property.
The new range runs roughly 700 ft with poles reaching 150 ft, on a slightly larger footprint with added ball containment. The steel poles and breakaway netting were designed to meet or exceed local wind codes.
AfterThe outcome
What it means for the course
Darlington now has a larger range behind modern steel poles and breakaway netting, built to hold up to the storms that took down the old wood poles. The new system extended play time for golfers and gave them a safer, more durable place to practice. County officials marked the reopening with a ribbon cutting.
