A golf tournament can be a great way to raise money, raise awareness, or spend time with fellow sportsmen and women. Make sure yours is one to remember by adding some great entertainment! We have a few ideas to keep your guests delighted all day and night.
Host a Banquet
Club houses are the perfect place to throw a party before the tournament starts. Most have lots of seating available for dinners. This is also a perfect opportunity for a silent auction fundraiser, or an awards ceremony for notable players. You can keep it elegant by adding a String Quartet, or add some energy with a Funk Band. Just depends on the vibe of your event!
18th Hole Entertainment
No golf tournament would be complete without entertainment at the 18th hole. Once the golfers have made it through the course, it’s time to celebrate! Again, depending on the atmosphere, your entertainment can vary. Try a Mobile Bartender, Wait Staff with catered appetizers, and Jazz Band for a fun cocktail hour. Or if the course allows, set up a Tent with a Portable Dance Floor and get the guests grooving with a Party Band!
Guest Visitors
If you’re looking to add some unexpected fun to your golf tournament, try a “celebrity” visit. Celebrity Impersonators like Rodney Dangerfield (Caddyshack, anyone?) or Tiger Woods can provide great photo ops and memorable interactions for your guests!

Want to inspire your guests instead? Try an Athlete or Sports Speaker to give a presentation at the banquet. You could hire local celebrities or someone a little more A-list to share their success stories and motivational tips. For something a little more on the fun side, hire a Roastmaster to roast coaches or players! They just need a little dirt on the “guests of honor” and the whole crowd will be rolling with laughter. Another great choice is a Stand-Up Comedian who can tailor their material to the sports world.
