Here’s 5 steps to planning a private golf tournament at Dormie Network clubs:
1. Choose the Perfect Club & Date
Selecting which Dormie Network club for your golf tournament is the first step. Each club offers unmatched hospitality with distinct personality. Love rustic mountain settings? Consider Ballyhack located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Looking for views extending miles? GrayBull in the Nebraska Sandhills is the ticket. Want to play a top 100 course? Head to Victoria National for the ultimate challenge. The key is to choose a club that resonates with your group and then select a date to match. No matter which club you choose, you can be assured that convenient travel accommodation is available nearby. View the Network at a glance for a quick overview of the premier collection of clubs.

2. Decide the Format and Add-Ons
Each PGA Professional onsite can create the ideal format (scramble, best ball, match play, etc.) and custom scorecards to take your for your private tournament to the next level.
Enhance guest experience with tournament add-ons like custom swag bags featuring the club logo, your company's logo, or another design of your choice. Merchandise managers will collaborate with you to craft perfect, meaning gifts to impress. If your group is ready to get serious about their game, add a custom fitting session to the itinerary. You could also consider personalized golf balls or prizes for the longest drive or closest to the pin.
3. Think Seasonal Activities
Dormie Network clubs have amazing locations from the plains of western Nebraska to the coast of New Jersey. Integrate an activity that’s seasonal to the club’s region, and it’ll be a golf trip for the ages. Hidden Creek and Ballyhack offer epic autumn foliage, while Briggs Ranch is the spot to be in the winter . Catch the College World Series each June in Omaha, just a quick drive from ArborLinks. Walk or ride Conservation Trail from ArborLinks to neighboring Arbor Day farm for apple orchards, cider, and fall festivities. Other activities like a football game, festival, local brewery outing, or shopping craft a well-rounded golf trip.

4. Pick Your Plates & Pours
In addition to legendary golf course play, Dormie Network clubs are known for incredible cuisine. Local flavors and seasonal ingredients take center stage on club menus. Take Hidden Creek for example. The coastal inspired menu leans on the club's location near New Jersey’s beaches. Choose to dine at your preferred location in the clubhouse or the comfort of your cottage. If your group has special menu requests, our culinary teams are happy to accommodate. Enjoy casual outdoor feasts, formal sit-downs, and late-night noshes—the choice is yours (and you can’t go wrong!).
