Tips for Planning a Corporate Golf Outing
Nothing boosts company morale and promotes colleague bonding like a golf outing!
Making memories, building trust, and having some good old-fashioned fun is the perfect way to spend a few hours away from the office and boost morale with your team.
However, planning a corporate event that appeals to a wide variety of people can be challenging—unless you have some expert assistance!
Here are some engaging tips on how to plan a golf outing for your next corporate event.
Assemble a Dynamic Team
The foundation of any successful golf outing is a solid planning committee.
Appoint a leader and delegate tasks to team members. The saying, “many hands make light work,” rings true here. The more organized you are from the start, the more enjoyable the event will be for everyone.
Pick the Perfect Date
Choosing a date might not be the most exciting part, but it’s crucial.
Plan at least six months in advance to provide ample time for organizing. Communicate the date (and a rain date) clearly to all potential attendees so they can mark their calendars and plan accordingly.
Set a Realistic Budget
Budgeting might be daunting, but it’s necessary.
Before you book your event and send out the invitation, you should outline the various costs for green fees, cart rentals, insurance, food, drinks, and potential sponsorships. Determine if attendees will be charged to play and include prizes for winning golf scores.
Establishing a budget early on will guide your decision-making process.
Choose the Right Location
Picking the perfect location for your corporate golf outing is key to its success.
After you finalize your budget, secure a reputable golf course that fits your organization’s needs.
PineCrest Country Club is an ideal choice for a corporate golf outing in the Philadelphia suburbs. With a course that appeals to various skill levels and a range of food and drink packages—from deli trays to three-course buffets—PineCrest makes planning simple and enjoyable.
Incorporate Sponsorship and Themes
Save money and add excitement by finding sponsors for the tournament.
Sponsorships can help offset some of the costs and increase awareness for a charity. Consider a theme for your event. Whether it’s a product launch or supporting a local cause, a theme can energize participants and add a unique touch to the outing.
Market the Event Creatively
Beyond traditional invitations, send periodic reminders and reveal fun event details to build anticipation.
Highlight prizes, sponsorships, and other incentives. Ensure the event runs smoothly with a well-organized schedule. Designate individuals to oversee registration, manage the prize table, and coordinate the logistics for any featured speakers or special guests.
