How Do I Find A Golf Course?

Golf courses are looking for you.  Events and Tournaments are a major portion of their business.  Golf courses depend on these events to raise revenues and profits.

There are two types of golf courses:

Public Golf Courses: These courses are open to anyone and will accept tournaments from most organizations. You do not have to be a member to set up your tournament at a public golf course. You can simply call the course and speak to the person who coordinates golf tournament sales for more information.

Private Golf Courses: These courses are for members only, but they do accept a limited number of tournaments from outside organizations. Private clubs can be effective for fundraising events because of their exclusivity – creating a unique experience for your players. Most private courses will require an introduction from a current member.  Look to your board, volunteers or friends to provide you with the proper introduction.

As you select a course, you will have questions. The golf course will also have questions for you. Courses may not accept your event unless you make a minimum commitment to the number of golfers you expect.

Below is information you should have prepared, and questions to consider, before meeting with the representative of any golf course.
