Description
In order to provide you with a quote, golf courses will need some information about your group. Although you will generally be able to modify the information slightly, the format, maximum number of players and services included are things that can affect course availability. By answering the questions in this first section you will have the information the course(s) need to provide you a quote. How many players? Consider the people who will attend and the number of likely participants. If your target audience is blue-collar workers, a weekend event will likely be better attended. Corporate or private operators who can adjust their schedules may find it easier to attend during weekdays. How many people do expect to attend? Date or Day of the week. The more options on dates, the more courses you will get competing for your event. Try to give the courses a range of days, like a Friday in June, rather than locking in on one date. If it is not feasible due to the target audience only being in town for that day, make the courses aware of it. Location Geographic considerations should take into account where the players are coming from and the time of day that your outing begins. Courses near expressways may widen your options. Weekend events offer easier travel and may also widen your search. What general area do you consider appropriate? Services What services do you want the golf course to provide? If you are only interested in playing golf, many courses may be available. If you are interested in using the driving range and having an awards banquet afterward, only certain courses will fit your needs. Most 'full service' courses will be able to do many of your services for you and with all of the other things you have to do, consider having the course do as much as possible. You will be glad you did on the day of the event! Find a Golf Course Finding a golf course is a little like finding a church and a minister for a wedding; it is the anchor of the event and must be decided first. Until Golf Outing Pro™, your only option was to call around and try to get through to the right person or rely on the advice of a friend or family member. Now you can select your top courses in a region and have us find, negotiate with, and book the course! To start your course search now, click here. Review your Proposals Unless you have compelling reason to go to a particular course, try to keep your options open. It will give you an edge in negotiations and usually provide you with the best bang for your buck. Do not always assume the lowest price is the best deal. Courses vary greatly in playability and the staff they employee. Don't be afraid to ask how many people will be assigned to work with you on your outing day. If you have not played the course, try to talk to others who have, get the opinions of golfers who you trust. Generally courses that do many outings will have the best support services and experience to make your event go smoothly. Sign a contract and send a deposit Most courses require a contract and deposit to actually hold the date and time for your group.
