In this guide, we'll walk you through some of the most important planning aspects of a golf tournament. Read on if you want to plan the best golf tournament in town!

Choose a Course First

The first thing that you want to do is choose a golf course. Typically, this will be a course relatively close to you if you plan on attending and going to the course to plan the tournament.

You also want to make sure it is a reputable course that people enjoy playing at!

Consider Prizes and Raffles

When it comes to planning a golf tournament, you have to consider more than just golf.

You will want to decide what prize you want for a Par 3 course if someone gets a hole-in-one. Most of the time, this is a car. You will need to work with a company that will donate the car for this prize.

You then need to get donations for various raffle items at the end of the tournament to keep everyone engaged and entertained, especially if this is for a fundraising tournament.

Choose Your Food Options

When the tournament is over, everyone is going to be hungry. If you are planning to have the best golf tournament, you need to consider your food a high priority.

Some golf courses allow you to bring in your own catering from restaurants, while others actually offer their own catering options.

In addition to food, you will also want to consider drink options. Will there be an open bar paid for at their admission prices or will drinks be individually priced? What drinks do you want to offer?

Make sure you think this through before choosing your options!

Set a Date

Before you get too deep into all of the planning aspects, you'll want to set a date. This makes sure that you will have everything done on time and also ensures that you reserved the course for the day you want to have the tournament.

Calenders at golf courses tend to go fast, so getting your tournament on the calendar is important to get the date you want!
