TL;DR: Swap conference rooms for coastal mini golf—reserve your event, customize hole challenges, arrange catering, add fun awards and gather feedback.

1. Reserve Your Event Date & Guest Count

Start by visiting our Private Event Inquiry form to confirm your preferred date, time and guest headcount. Whether it’s a small team of 10 or a larger group of 50, we have flexible booking options. Early reservations lock in your slot and help us plan staffing—peak seasons fill up fast, so aim to book at least 4–6 weeks in advance. Key takeaway: Early planning ensures you secure prime weekday or weekend time slots for your team.

2. Customize Hole Themes & Scoring

Want to infuse company culture into your mini golf event? Work with our event coordinator to customize up to three holes with branded obstacles or team-inspired challenges. Create a “department face-off” format to encourage cross-team competition. Decide if you want a standard par-score format or a “crazy putt” where each hole has surprise rules (e.g., blindfold holes or reverse putters). Key takeaway: Tailored hole themes and unique scoring keep team members engaged and reinforce collaboration.

Sample Custom Themes

  • “Sales vs. Marketing” logo-branded ramps
  • “Tech Trivia” quiz hole with pop-quiz questions
  • “Executive Challenge” requiring a trick shot

3. Arrange Catering & Beverage Packages

No one wants to play on an empty stomach. Choose from our curated catering menus—ranging from gourmet boxed lunches to finger foods like sliders and charcuterie boards. Beverage packages include Pepsi products, local craft sodas, beer flights or wine selections. For a more premium experience, add our signature cocktail package. Dietary needs? Simply let us know if anyone requires vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free options. Key takeaway: Good food and drinks create a relaxed atmosphere that fosters teamwork and conversation.

4. Setup Event Space & AV Needs

We offer a dedicated private event area adjacent to the course. Furnish it with high-top tables, branded banners or company swag displays. Need a projector for presentations? We’ll set up AV equipment, including screens, microphones and speakers. Coordinate with our on-site technician 48 hours before your event so we can test connections. For hybrid teams, we can facilitate a Zoom broadcast directly into the event area. Key takeaway: Seamless AV and thoughtful decor transform our venue into your branded corporate playground.

5. Finalize Staffing & Logistics

Confirm your final headcount and menu selections at least one week prior. Our event manager will assign dedicated host staff to assist with check-in, explain custom hole rules, track scores and handle any last-minute changes. Provide us a list of special requests—like dietary restrictions or prize preferences—and we’ll create a tailored experience. After the event, gather feedback via an emailed survey link to measure employee satisfaction and gather testimonials for next year’s event. Key takeaway: Clear communication and final checks ensure your team-building event runs flawlessly.
