American Hole 'n One's Blog

 Are you in charge of make your next golf tournament a success? Finding fun golf tournament ideas to attract attendees and sponsors is vital for making your golf tournament fun for everyone. From hole in one contests to million dollar shootouts and unique golf formats, there’s lots of ways to up the ante and make your golf tournament memorable.

If you’re searching for fun golf tournament ideas, American Hole ‘n One has plenty. Check out our best ideas on how to make a golf tournament fun and interesting twist that will leave a lasting impression on both attendees and sponsors alike.

1. Hold a Hole In One Contest

Holding a hole in one contest is the perfect way to a big crowd to your tournament as contestants shoot to win big prizes! Golfers will lineup at your next golf tournament and test their luck as they try to shoot an ace. Should they make a hole in one on one of the designated holes, the contestant can win a prize like a vacation, cash, or even a new car!

If you can’t imagine fronting the money for an elaborate prize, American Hole ‘n One can help with our Hole in One Insurance Coverage. With Hole In One Insurance, you’ll reap the benefits of the generating buzz from your hole in one contest, while we assume all of the risk and cover the costs associated with the selected prize should someone make a qualifying hole in one. And, with customized prize packages, like trips for two, a new car, or a lump sum of cash, you can make it extremely interesting and personalized to your event.

2. Advertise a Million Dollar Shootout

Arguably the most exciting and fun golf tournament idea, the million dollar shootout gives contestants the chance to win the ultimate grand prize: one million dollars! Not only are golfers attracted to tournaments that offer a grand prize, but sponsors will flock to these events for the opportunity to put their names next to such large prize values.

Along with providing hole in one insurance coverage, American Hole ‘n One provides Million Dollar Hole in One Insurance and will assume full responsibility should someone make the qualifying hole in one. With our insurance coverage, you won’t have to worry about the large payout should one of the contestants shoot an ace.

3. Organize a Putting Contest

A putting contest is similar to both the hole in one contest and the million dollar shootout, however, a putting contest does not include long drives. Contestants will compete to make the qualifying putt for the chance to win a prize such as a cash, a new car, or vacation package. With the help from American Hole ‘n One, you can offer unique putting prize packages that attract golfers, generate additional sponsor revenue, and more. With our putting contest insurance, we’ll assume the risk and pay out your grand prize, for just a fraction of what a prize would cost you.

4. Charity Golf Tournament Contests

If you are planning a charity golf tournament, you may want to make things interesting by splitting the hole in one contest prize with the winner and the charity. For example, if you are holding a million dollar shootout, you can split up the million dollar prize between the winner and a charity of your choice. This makes it the perfect complement to any charity golf tournament. American Hole ‘n One would be happy to write up any contest contract to be a split award with half, or a percentage, going toward the charity of your choice. It’s a win-win for everyone!

5. Fun Golf Tournament Ideas: Post Golf Tournament

No golf tournament is complete without a dinner or post-golf tournament event. While most golf tournaments opt for a usual dinner party, why not kick things up a notch with a twist on the traditional dinner party? You may want to consider hiring a DJ, having different food stands, host a silent auction or raise money for charity with a fundraising raffle. There’s a lot of ways to not only make your golf tournament memorable, but the after party a huge success, too.

6. Golf Chipping Contest Ideas

Similar to putting contests, golf chipping contests are great on the green contests that all participants of your golf tournament can enjoy. In this contest, participants chip from a designated area just outside the green in an effort to get the closest to a designated target.
