We make our own. The tee markers we made are now on their 7th year and most still look great. We took pressure treated 4x4 and cut 45 degree angles on the ends and stuck a large galvanized nail in the bottom and cut the nail head off with bolt cutters. The nail sticks out about 3 to 4 inches and works great as a spike to hold it in the ground, but make for sure you pre-drill the hole before driving the nail because it can split the blocks. By cutting 45 degree angles, you can maximize the amount of tee blocks out of 1 8, 10, or 12 foot board. We then paint the ends of the blocks with red, white, or blue and then clear coat only the bare wood. When you paint the ends, make for sure you use Rustoleum enamel paint. It may take a couple coats, but it is the only paint we have found that holds its color and luster through the year. Every winter, we use a bench belt sander and sand them down and paint them again and they last a long time. Occassionaly you will have to replace 1, but not very often. I think it cost us about $125.00 to initially make them, and now it cost about $40 each winter for the paint and clear coat. If you would like see them, email me at
