The tour of the PING facility is fascinating and well worth the trip for people who love golf and want to see what a successful international golf club manufacturing plant looks like from the inside. You are sure to learn something that you didn't know before you came! Still, there are some things you should know before you embark upon this tour.
- The tour takes 2 hours or more. Much of that time you'll be standing or walking.
- Dress is casual. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
- During the tour you will be visiting the actual manufacturing areas, not exhibits or replicas. That means that there will be people working and quite a bit of noise. You'll be wearing goggles for eye protection and headphones so that you can hear the tour guide speaking.
- Children under 9 years old are not permitted on the tour. I really don't recommend this tour for children who are older than 9 unless they are really avid golfers. There's nothing for them to do if they get tired or bored.
- Most of the tour takes place indoors, but there is some walking between buildings which can be hot in the summertime.
- There are no freebies or giveaways on this tour.
- There are no hats, tee shirts or other souvenirs for sale.
- There is no snack bar, but there are vending machines. No food is allowed on the tour.
