While back, we had the good fortune of taking an in-person tour through Titleist’s Ball Plant 3 facility. And yes, this is the exact spot where the Pro V1 and Pro V1x golf balls we all love are made (right here in the U.S.A.).

Our Inside Look at the Titleist Ball Plant

Ever wonder how the Titleist Pro V1, Pro V1x, and the new AVX golf balls are made? We certainly did, so we took a trip up to the Titleist Ball Plant 3 in New Bedford, Massachusetts to find out.

 

It’s also a little-known fact that anyone can register to take a tour through the plant.

Well…that was before COVID-19 hit anyway.

But the good news is that as of today, you can make your way through the Titleist’ manufacturing facility without leaving the comfort of your couch.

That’s right, Titleist’s new Titleist Ball Plant 3 Virtual Tour, which is hosted by Golf TV’s Iona Stephen, puts you right inside this 200,000+ square foot facility. 

One thing I can tell you from experiencing the tour myself is that a lot more hard work and detailed engineering go into golf ball manufacturing than you might think. But even more striking to me was the level of pride Titleist employees put into what they do.

Their passion for producing the best golf balls is truly tangible, and one remarkable fact that stood out to me is that some Titleist Ball Plant 3 employees had been working there for over 50 years!

The Virtual Tour takes you through every aspect of manufacturing, including showing you the multiple points of quality control that are baked into the process.

Not only is this entertaining from a sort of “engineering marvel” standpoint, as a golfer it also leaves you feeling confident that a lot of love and attention went into making that golf ball you’re about to tee up.

So do yourself a favor…pour yourself your beverage of choice, sit in your favorite chair, and take a virtual tour through the plant.

Oh, and if you do want to see the place “in person” like I did, the good news is that Titleist will be reopening the experience as soon as it’s safe to do so. To sign up to be notified when the tours resume just go to Titleist.com/TourBP3 to register. 

And make sure to tell the team I said hi while you’re there!
