How to Organize a Charity Golf Tournament
Basic guidelines for charity or fundraising golf tournament planning. This information will help keep your planning process on track and make you look like a pro. Topics covered include initial planning and research, tournament committee selection and delegation, negotiating with the golf course, and more. Whether this is your first time planning a golf tournament or you already have an established fundraising event, we can help.
Golf Fundraising Ideas
Golf tournaments are one of the best, most profitable fundraisers when well run. But how do you make money besides the obvious golf registration fees? There are plenty of exciting fundraising opportunities before, during, and after a tournament. We’ve outlined some popular golf fundraising ideas here to provide you with interesting ways to help you exceed your fundraising goals.
Attracting Golf Tournament Sponsors
Corporate and community sponsors fulfill a critical role in any successful golf tournament fundraiser. These businesses help increase awareness for an event by promoting it to their employees and customers via social media, which is helpful when it is time to attract the attention of local media and recruit golfers. Most importantly, sponsors create a financial backbone by helping to offset tournament costs, which are generally quite high. Read on for proven guidelines on how to attract golf tournament sponsors.
Golf Marathons
A Golf Marathon (or golf-a-thon) is a peer-to-peer fundraising event where individual golfers raise money for a charitable cause by collecting donations and pledges. It’s a fun way to engage participants as each golfer creates a personal fundraising page where they can upload photos and videos, a mission statement, and set fundraising goals. Fundraising pages are shared via email and social media and the result is that your organization raises more money and finds new supporters.
Golf Charity Auctions
A golf charity auction is a great way to raise more funds as part of a charity golf tournament. A golf auction gives non-golfers and others in your community an opportunity to donate to your cause through bidding on auction items online, at your event, or both. We provide details here on how to organize a charity auction.
Auction Items for Charity Auctions
We provide one-of-a-kind travel packages that can be used in live, silent, and online charity auctions and raffles. Here’s how the program works: Your organization can advertise these packages on your fundraising website and auction them at your event without paying any money upfront. Once you have successfully sold the item for an amount above your cost or designated reserve amount, you buy it. We then send the package tickets and contents directly to your winning bidder and provide support through our travel concierge.
Corporate Golf Events
Corporations and businesses often hold corporate golf events to show appreciation for employees and clients. It’s also common to conduct business on the golf course. Companies will often include a charitable component in their corporate tournament as well and may need some assistance planning that aspect of a corporate tournament. If your company is looking at hosting a corporate golf event, you’ll find some great golf tournament resources in this article.
Golf Tournament Flyers
Advertising is key to any successful golf tournament. In addition to a tournament website, post flyers in your local areas with important tournament information to boost event visibility. These flyer templates can be customized to suit your event. Better yet, let DoJiggy Custom Print create flyers for you!

Golf Tournament Contests

They also allow your organization to raise more money for your cause by collecting fees for participation. In this article, we share some golf fundraising ideas for including golf tournament contests as part of an upcoming event.

The golf rules published here are an overview of the basics and are designed to give beginners a quick overview of standard golf rules and proper etiquette before they hit the course.
Golf Tournament Entry Forms
Golf Tournament Entry Forms are an informational one-sheet that players are required to fill out in order to participate in your charity golf tournament or golf fundraising event. They outline the basic details for your golf event, including date, time, location, costs, and information about the golf tournament format and rules.
Golf Tournament Marketplace
We have created the Golf Tournament Marketplace to assist our clients and others in their golf tournament planning. People often ask us for referrals of golf service providers, so we have gathered them together here. You will find all types of golf merchandise and services to help make your event a success.
