Golf Netting Installation

Golf netting is the engineered barrier that contains and deflects balls at driving ranges, courses, and practice enclosures. Gorilla Netting installs it turnkey: design, poles, cable, panels. Not supply-only.

  • 5-year warranty
  • Fully insured
  • Self-performing crews
  • 20+ years installing
  • US and international

Golf Netting Installers for Ranges, Courses, and Enclosures

As golf netting installers, Gorilla Netting provides full turnkey support from design and planning through pole setting and professional panel installation.

Whether you are building a new range or upgrading an existing facility, our golf netting installation crews tailor pole systems, netting materials, and layout strategies to your site conditions, liability exposure, and performance goals. We engineer for real ball flight, not catalog dimensions.

What a complete install includes

  • Structural engineering for wind loads
  • Pole supply and setting (wood or steel)
  • Cable grid layout
  • UV-treated panel fabrication
  • Professional hang and tensioning
  • Warranty sign-off

We coordinate with course superintendents, general managers, and ownership groups to phase work around play schedules. Replacement projects start with inspection of existing poles, cables, and anchors before specifying new mesh, avoiding costly surprises during the hang.

What golf netting protects

  • Players and guests on neighboring holes, protected from errant shots
  • Cart paths, adjacent roadways, and neighboring properties, kept clear of errant shots
  • Driving ranges, with downrange containment that keeps shots on the property

What to Look For in a Golf Netting Installer

Not every vendor who sells netting installs it. Not every installer engineers it. There's a difference, and it matters when your barrier system has to stop a 160-mph ball flight.

  • Pole engineering experience. Golf netting poles, particularly on driving ranges, carry substantial lateral loads. A 100-foot steel pole in a 90 mph wind event is not a net-hanging problem. It's a structural engineering problem. Your installer needs to demonstrate they've engineered pole systems, not just mounted hardware to existing structures.
  • Self-performed netting installation. When an outside installer handles your system, accountability gets split. If something fails, the vendor blames the installer and the installer blames the design. We use our own crews on every project. There's one phone number and one warranty.
  • Warranty that covers materials and labor. Material-only warranties are common and nearly worthless. If a cable fitting fails at 18 months, a material-only warranty covers the fitting, not the crew cost to go back out and fix it. Our 5-year warranty covers both.

Golf Facility Types We Serve

We install golf netting at every facility type:

  • Golf courses: boundary netting, errant-ball containment along holes, and spectator protection.
  • Driving ranges: full range netting systems with wood poles up to 60 feet or steel staged poles up to 180 feet. See our Driving Range Netting page for system details.
  • Golf entertainment venues: Topgolf-style facilities with custom bay configurations, multi-level netting, and high-volume ball containment requirements.
  • Practice enclosures: custom-built Golf Netting Enclosures for indoor and outdoor training environments.
  • Country clubs: full-scope projects coordinating with club operations and aesthetics requirements.
  • Municipal courses:public-access facilities with budget-conscious designs that don't compromise on safety or durability.

Every project gets the same engineering rigor and crew quality regardless of facility type or project size. Our crew mobilizes with all required equipment: boom lifts, tensioning gear, and pole-setting equipment. No rentals to coordinate on your end. Once on site, our crew leads communicate daily with your facility team to keep the project on schedule.

The difference between a qualified contractor and an unqualified one shows up in tensioning, pole alignment, foundation depth, and net lifespan. Systems installed without proper engineering and field execution fail early and create liability. We've spent 20+ years solving exactly those problems for golf facilities that hired the wrong contractor the first time.

What Golf Netting Costs

Typical ranges for turnkey installs, so you can size the budget before you request a formal quote. Every project is engineered to its site, so these are starting points, not a price list.

Driving range and golf course netting

New systems from 40 ft up, on ranges or along fairways and property lines. Linear footage and height drive cost.

Wood poles
$80,000 to $300,000
Steel poles
$200,000 to $3 million

Golf enclosures

Fully enclosed practice and hitting structures.

Steel poles
$170,000 to $300,000

Netting replacement on existing poles

Starts with inspection of existing poles, cables, and anchors before specifying new mesh.

Existing poles
$40,000 to $150,000

What moves the number

  • Linear footage and net height (systems start at 40 ft)
  • Pole type: wood or steel
  • Site wind exposure and soil conditions
  • Whether stamped engineering is required for permitting
  • Breakaway panels at high-wind sites

What Happens After You Call

Here's what a typical schedule looks like, from first call to final walkthrough.

  1. 01

    Site info and quote

    3 to 5 business days

    Send dimensions, photos, a site plan if available, and a description of the containment goal. Remote estimating from photos and plans is valid for most projects. A site visit isn't always required at the quote stage.

  2. 02

    Engineering review

    1 to 2 weeks

    Pole design, cable sizing, foundation specs, and wind-load documentation are finalized. Facilities requiring stamped drawings for permitting receive those as part of this deliverable.

  3. 03

    Material lead time

    2 to 4 weeks

    Standard knotless netting and galvanized cable are typically in the shorter range. Custom mesh specifications or specialty pole fabrication push toward the longer end.

  4. 04

    Installation

    3 to 7 days

    Most projects install in 3 to 7 days. Larger projects can take 2 weeks or more, and we set that schedule with you up front. We phase work around your operating schedule so you stay open where you can.

  5. 05

    Tensioning and walkthrough

    1 day

    Panels are tensioned to the span and load, then we walk the system with you, confirm the scope is complete, and hand over warranty sign-off. One phone number, one warranty.

Times vary with project size. Your schedule is confirmed with your quote.

A note on permitting

The owner or general contractor submits the permit application. We provide stamped engineering drawings to support that application. We don't handle permitting on behalf of owners, but we give you everything you need to move it through.

Golf Netting FAQ

What does golf netting installation include?

Golf netting projects include barrier layout for ranges or course perimeters, pole or attachment design, UV-treated netting selection, installation by experienced golf netting crews, and warranty sign-off, whether for a practice tee line or full-course boundary.

What is the difference between golf course netting and driving range netting?

Driving range systems prioritize downrange containment with tall side and end panels. Golf course barrier netting follows fairway and property lines to protect adjacent homes, roads, or parking. Gorilla Netting engineers each layout for its impact pattern. See our golf vs. driving range guide in Resources.

Do you provide golf netting installation nationwide?

Yes. Gorilla Netting is a US-based specialty contractor headquartered in Florida with field operations in Kentucky. Our crews mobilize to turnkey install sites across the United States and internationally. Location is not a barrier.

How can I get pricing for golf netting installers?

Send aerial or site photos, approximate lengths and heights needed, and whether you need new poles or can tie to existing structures. Request a project quote at gorillanetting.com/get-quote or call 1-800-274-1079. Pricing is scope-based after we review site layout, heights, materials, and access, not a flat per-foot rate.

Do you use subcontractors for golf netting installation?

Not for netting installation. Every Gorilla Netting installation is executed by our own trained crews. We don't hand netting work to outside installers or fence contractors. The crew setting poles and tensioning nets on your site are Gorilla Netting employees who install netting systems every day. Core netting work does not require a contractor license. Pole foundations within our derrick digger truck capability are self-performed; when engineering requires deeper drilling, large concrete foundation pours for steel poles, or electrical work for lighting or retractable netting systems, we coordinate qualified licensed trade partners. Gorilla Netting does not hold general or specialty contracting licenses for those trades.

What backs your golf netting work?

All installations are backed by a 5-year full coverage warranty. Our team brings 20+ years of combined experience specifically in netting design, engineering, and field installation. We are fully insured and operate nationally from our Tampa, FL, headquarters and Campbellsville, KY, field operations.
