Step 1: Planning the Guest List and invitations
Decide on the size of your bachelorette party and create a guest list. Consider inviting your bridal party, close friends, family members, and anyone else you want to share this special day with. Remember the golf course’s capacity and the number of golf carts available when finalizing the guest list.
Step 2: Finding the Perfect Golf Course
Research golf courses and find one that fits the vibe you’re aiming for. Look for courses with picturesque landscapes, friendly staff, and amenities like a clubhouse for post-game celebrations. Read reviews and testimonials from others who have hosted events at those courses to ensure a seamless experience. Some of the questions you should ask of the golf course event coordinator are;
- Availability and Pricing: Inquire about the availability of the golf course on your desired date and time. Ask about pricing options, including green fees, cart rentals, and any additional charges for services or amenities.
- Group Size and Tee Times: Determine the maximum group size the golf course can accommodate and whether they offer staggered tee times to accommodate your party. It’s essential to ensure that all participants can play together.
- Event Spaces and Amenities: Ask about available event spaces or banquet facilities for pre-game activities, post-game celebrations, or any other planned festivities. Inquire about amenities like changing rooms, lockers, and catering services if needed.
- Golf Experience and Skill Levels: Inform the golf course about the experience and skill levels of the participants in your group. This will help them tailor the experience and offer any necessary assistance or guidance.
- Rental Equipment: If some members of the party don’t have their golf clubs, check if the golf course offers rental equipment and the associated costs.
- Course Layout and Difficulty: Learn about the course layout, including the number of holes, overall difficulty level, and any specific features or challenges that may affect playability.
- Golf Attire and Dress Code: Ask about the dress code and any specific requirements for golf attire, such as collared shirts or appropriate footwear.
- Inclement Weather Policy: Inquire about their policy in case of inclement weather, such as rain checks or cancellations.
- Accessibility and Location: Check the accessibility and location of the golf course, ensuring it is convenient for all participants.
- Reservations and Deposits: Ask about the reservation process and if a deposit is required to secure the date and time for your event.
- Golf Instructions and Lessons: If some members of the group are beginners or have limited golf experience, ask if the golf course offers lessons or instructions to help them feel more comfortable on the course.
By asking these questions, you can ensure that the golf course can accommodate your party’s needs and provide a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
Step 4: Party Planning
Golf-Themed Bridal Party Centerpieces:
- Floral Golf Ball Bouquet: Arrange a bouquet of colorful golf balls in a vase, interspersed with vibrant flowers that match your wedding color scheme. This centerpiece will add a unique touch to your tables while incorporating the golf theme.
- Mini Golf Green Centerpiece: Create mini golf greens using artificial grass, and place them on each table. Add small flags with the bride’s initials or wedding date to give it a personalized touch. Surround the green with golf-themed decorations like golf clubs, tees, and golf ball place cards.
Food Suggestions:
When having a bachelorette or bridal party event at a golf course, most likely you will need to use their catering service. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun with the names of the dishes they provide. Adding fun golf-themed signs in your wedding colors will add to the festive atmosphere, and is super helpful to the partygoers wondering if it’s tuna or chicken. Some fun food name tags could include “Club Sandwich Sliders,” “Fairway Fajitas,” and “Bunker Brownies.”
