Why You Should Host Your Next Corporate Event On a Golf Course
You’ve just hit a major sales goal at your company, and you’re ready to celebrate. Or, maybe, your team has been steadily growing over the past year, and it’s high time for some engaging team-building activities. Whatever the reason, it’s clearly time to plan a corporate event. While there are many types of event spaces to choose from, selecting a venue that offers everything you need for a memorable corporate retreat is paramount. At the top of the list for consideration? A golf course.
It’s a venue with benefits aplenty — think built-in entertainment that everyone on your team can enjoy, flexible conference spaces for meetings and brainstorming sessions, top-notch cuisine and catering, and a beautiful setting. At SkyView Golf Club, New Jersey’s premier golf course venue situated on more than 190 picturesque acres, we’re well-versed in helping our guests plan extraordinary corporate golf outings, whether they want to begin their day with breakfast and team-building exercises or venture out onto our 18-hole championship golf course before enjoying a hearty lunch. Here, we share all the best reasons for planning your next corporate event at a golf course.
Built-In Entertainment
The biggest benefit of hosting a corporate event at a golf course? Golf. It’s the perfect opportunity to get your team out on the links, enjoying the fresh air and connecting with each other in a relaxed, scenic environment. You set the format of play: a casual scramble (great for accommodating players of all skill levels), best ball, or a tournament, with bonus extras such as prizes for the longest drive, most challenging sunk putt, or closest to the pin. For beginners, consider offering a group lesson with a golf pro, or book a spot at the driving range so they can whack away. At SkyView, we offer a practice putting green and driving range as well as our 18-hole championship course, designed by architect Robert McNeil, where everyone from seasoned pros to novices can experience the striking natural landscapes that surround each hole. To make the corporate golf outing planning process as seamless as possible, we offer several customizable packages.
Flexible Meeting Spaces
Even though you’re hosting a corporate golf outing, you still might want to get a little work done. After all, stepping out of the office and into a fresh environment can often spark creativity, so you’ll want to secure a venue with a dedicated, flexible space that can accommodate your group. Traditional meeting rooms should provide technology (projectors, screens, WiFi, microphones) and support, catering options for your hungry team, and plenty of space for additional tables (perhaps to display those awards for longest drive or most challenging putt). Packages designed to suit a variety of budgets and styles can be helpful when planning your corporate event.
Stunning Scenery
One of the best perks of hosting your corporate event at a golf course: the views. The greens, the rolling hills, the lakes teeming with wildlife — the natural beauty is boundless. It’s the perfect setting to energize and ignite your team, and in fact, studies have shown that spending time in nature can lead to boosts in creativity and other critical cognitive functions. Getting your colleagues out of the office and into a scenic environment can help spark fresh ideas or creative solutions to complex challenges. And when your golf event is at SkyView, you’re never far from an inspiring backdrop. Whether you’re in one of our well-appointed meeting rooms with floor-to-ceiling glass doors unveiling the breathtaking landscape, or outside playing a rousing round of golf, our 190 picturesque acres in the rolling hills of Sussex County are right there, beckoning guests to pause, reflect, and take everything in.
Top-Notch Cuisine
Golfing, team building, celebrating, and generating new ideas tend to work up an appetite. So, your chosen event venue should offer plenty of delicious fare to keep everyone satisfied during the outing. Want to start with a light brain-boosting breakfast, then transition to snacks on the course, and finish with a buffet-style lunch while celebrating your day out on the links? Or do you prefer a sunset cocktail hour, complete with premium hors d’oeuvres and your choice of bar selections? A venue with a professional catering staff serving up exceptional cuisine can deliver on exactly that. At SkyView, you and your guests can enjoy delicious eats from our full-service catering staff, featuring an array of dining styles, including semi-formal to formal to over-the-top elegance. Our all-inclusive packages accommodate everything from gourmet catering and open-bar service to intimate plated dinners. It’s our priority to simplify your corporate golf outing planning and deliver a truly unforgettable experience.
