Personalised Golf Trophy UK: Acrylic vs Resin Award Guide
Share
A simple guide to choosing the right personalised golf trophy for club championships, society days, monthly medals, charity events and presentation nights. Compare the two live Fast Trophies golf styles without the sales jargon.
Choose acrylic if you want a modern clear award with a large printed face, six size choices and space for a logo, award title, date and winner name. Choose resin if you want a taller 27cm golf trophy with a traditional three-dimensional shape, brushed gold finish and a personalised printed base. For a headline club prize, resin can give more visual presence. For society days, side prizes or several awards in different sizes, acrylic gives you more flexibility.
Choosing a personalised golf trophy sounds simple until you compare the styles. One award may look like a clear modern plaque. Another may use a shaped golfer figure with a gold finish. Both can work well, but they create a different feel at the presentation table.
Fast Trophies currently lists two main golf options in its personalised golf trophy collection: a UV-printed acrylic golf award and a 27cm gold resin golf trophy. This guide compares those two products using the details on the live product pages. It also explains how to choose for different golf events, what wording to add and how to avoid common ordering mistakes.
The acrylic award gives you a clear flat display surface with full-colour UV printing and several sizes. The resin award gives you a taller, sculpted gold trophy with the personalisation placed on a printed base. Pick the format that matches the importance, style and practical needs of the event.
Acrylic vs Resin Golf Trophy: Quick Comparison
| Factor | Acrylic golf award | Gold resin golf trophy |
|---|---|---|
| Overall look | Modern, clear, plaque-style award | Traditional, sculpted, gold golf trophy |
| Product size | Six size options, from A7 to A4 plus Medium and Large | One listed height of 27cm |
| Personalisation area | Full printed face with logo or symbol, title, date or other text, and recipient name | Custom printed base for winner details, dates, club crests or sponsor logos |
| Print method | Full-colour UV print on 2cm solid acrylic | Full-colour custom decal on the base |
| Display style | Freestanding clear block, no separate base needed | Freestanding 27cm trophy with a stable flat-edge base |
| Good fit for | Society days, charity golf, side prizes, corporate events, presentation nights | Club championships, headline prizes, Captain's Day, corporate or charity events |
| Minimum order | None stated on the live product page | None stated on the live product page |
If the design itself needs to carry a large club crest, coloured branding or several lines of text, acrylic gives you a broad printed face. If you want a taller award that looks more like a classic sports trophy from across the room, the 27cm resin design may suit the occasion better.
What Makes a Golf Trophy Personalised?
A personalised golf trophy is made for a specific winner, event or club. It normally includes a mix of the award title, recipient name, club or society details, event date and visual branding.
On the Fast Trophies acrylic golf award, you can choose a standard golf symbol or upload your own logo. The product page also gives fields for the award title, date or other text, and recipient name. The resin golf trophy uses a custom printed base that can carry names, dates, club crests or sponsor logos.
- Award title, such as Club Champion
- Winner or recipient name
- Golf club, society or event name
- Year or exact event date
- Handicap, sponsor name or short extra detail if useful
Short wording is easier to scan during a presentation and easier to read later on a shelf. Put the most important detail first. Usually that is the award title or winner name.
The two Fast Trophies golf products in this guide use printed personalisation. The acrylic product uses UV printing. The resin product uses a printed custom decal on the base. If you specifically need traditional engraving, check the exact product method before ordering.
What the Acrylic Golf Trophy Offers
The Personalised Golf Trophy Award is made from a solid 2cm acrylic block. It has a clear, glass-effect finish, but it is not glass or crystal. The design is UV printed in full colour onto the award.
The product is freestanding and does not need a separate base. It is listed in six sizes: A7, A6, A5, A4, Medium at 15 x 5cm, and Large at 20 x 6cm. That range makes it easier to use one design across different prize levels.
This style is a practical fit when you need more than one award category. A golf day may have a main winner, a Longest Drive prize and a Nearest the Pin prize. Using the same acrylic design in different sizes can keep the presentation table consistent without making every award identical in scale.
It also suits clubs and societies that want their logo to be a strong part of the design. The product page lets you upload a logo or use a standard symbol, then add the award title, date or other text, and the recipient name.
What the Resin Golf Trophy Offers
The Personalised Gold Golf Trophy 27cm is a resin award with a brushed gold finish. It stands 27cm tall and uses a stable flat-edge base for display.
Personalisation is placed on a custom printed base. You can add the winner's name, award category, event date, club crest or sponsor logo. The live product page also lists sixteen design choices for the base.
The resin design makes sense when the physical shape of the trophy matters as much as the printed detail. From a distance, it reads as a traditional golf prize. The gold finish also gives it a clear winner-focused look.
Fast Trophies lists this resin model for club championships, corporate golf events, charity golf days, school or youth tournaments and individual honours. It can also be used for categories such as closest to the pin, longest drive, hole-in-one or player of the year.
Which Material Suits Your Golf Event?
There is no official rule that says a club championship must use resin or a monthly medal must use acrylic. The better choice comes down to the look you want, how many prizes you need and how much information you want to show on the trophy.
- Club Champion or annual headline award
- Captain's Day main prize
- Corporate golf day winner
- Charity event main award
- A traditional gold sports-trophy look suits the event
- Monthly medals or recurring club prizes
- Society day awards
- Longest Drive and Nearest the Pin
- Several categories in different sizes
- Your club logo and printed wording need more visual space
| Golf occasion | Practical starting point | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Club Champion | Resin or larger acrylic | Choose resin for a tall classic shape, or a larger acrylic size if club branding is the priority. |
| Monthly Medal | Acrylic | Multiple size options make it easy to keep a repeatable award style. |
| Society Day | Acrylic | Useful when you need several categories with clear names and event branding. |
| Longest Drive | Acrylic or resin | Both products support this award. Choose by presentation style and the amount of text or logo detail you want. |
| Nearest the Pin | Acrylic or resin | Both work. Acrylic gives more size choice, while resin gives a taller traditional look. |
| Corporate Golf Day | Either | Acrylic gives a broad area for branding. Resin gives a gold sports-award style. |
| Charity Golf Event | Either | Match the main trophy to the event style, then use other sizes or formats for side prizes if needed. |
You do not have to choose one material for every prize. A club could use the 27cm resin trophy for its main annual award and acrylic awards for side prizes or recurring competitions. The important part is to keep the wording and branding clear across the full set.
How to Personalise a Golf Trophy
Use a short title that makes sense without extra explanation. Examples include Club Champion, Longest Drive, Nearest the Pin, Best Gross Score or Best Net Score.
Check the spelling against your final results list. For a formal club prize, use the name format your club normally uses on results and notices.
A club name, society name, competition name or year helps the winner remember exactly what the trophy was for. Keep the line short enough to stay readable.
If the handicap is part of the story of the award, you can include it as short extra text. On the acrylic golf award, the field labelled "Date or other text" can hold a handicap or similar event detail. If the handicap is not important to the award, leaving it off keeps the design cleaner.
Use a clean club logo file with enough resolution for printing. The acrylic product lets you upload your own logo or choose a standard symbol. The resin product also allows a club or sponsor logo on its printed base.
Golf Trophy Wording and Prize Ideas
Good trophy wording is short and easy to scan. You do not need a full sentence. Four clear pieces of information are usually enough: award title, recipient, club or event, and year or date.

Longest Drive
Sam Patel
Captain's Day

Other useful golf award categories include Runner-Up, Best Gross Score, Best Net Score, Most Improved Player, Junior Champion, Ladies' Champion and Team Achievement. Use the categories that fit your own event. You do not need to create extra prizes simply because they appear in a list.
How to Order a Personalised Golf Trophy Without Mistakes
Personalised products are harder to correct after production starts, so the best time to find an error is before you place or approve the order. The acrylic product page says order details cannot be amended after checkout. The resin product uses a proof stage, so spelling and layout should be checked before approval.
- Final award category confirmed
- Winner name checked against the official results list
- Club, society or sponsor name written correctly
- Year, date and handicap checked where included
- Logo file is clear and you have permission to use it
- Text is short enough to remain easy to read
- Acrylic size or resin style matches the importance of the prize
- All awards use a consistent naming style
- Event date is confirmed before ordering
- Current processing and delivery information checked on the live product page
- Enough time allowed for personalisation and shipping
- Delivery address checked before final confirmation
Production and delivery information can change. Use the current Fast Trophies product page and checkout options when planning an event deadline rather than relying on an old blog post or saved screenshot.
