How Dormie Network makes business entertainment simple:
Looking for a more effective approach to business entertainment? We have discovered that our corporate partners experience greater success and increased face time with clients when they host their meetings at a Dormie Network private, pure golf destination, rather than traditional venues such as restaurants, hotels, or conference centers. The difference lies in the unparalleled experiences and unique settings that our clubs provide.
Though each Dormie Network club has its own approach to client engagement and successful meetings, you can expect the same level of quality no matter where you book. From the moment you step on site, you’ll understand why these full-service clubs are the perfect setting for meaningful connections and fruitful business discussions. Here are 7 ways Dormie Network makes it easier to entertain clients, plus a few insider tips at the end!
Effortless excursions: agenda prep made easy.
Leave the planning to us. Our on-site concierges at every club will partner with you to craft the perfect itinerary, whether you desire structure or spontaneity. They’ll take notes on your preferences, so each trip is better than the last.
Personalized itineraries and tailor-made experiences just for you.
Aligning with your goals and specifications, your group’s bespoke schedule fosters a seamless blend of business and pleasure. From networking events and team-building activities to relaxation and indulgence, every moment is carefully curated to deliver an experience that exceeds your expectations.
Popular options to add between golf and meetings include custom fittings, night putting under the stars, bourbon or wine tastings at the fire pit, or watching the game on the big screens in the clubhouse. We’ll let you call the shots.
2. We take care of the details, so you can focus on building relationships.
Dormie Network clubs give everyone in your group the feel-good factor—making conversation flow in a comfortable space. On the course, the sheer beauty will free your mind and inspire new and innovative ideas to bring to the table. As your group plays a round, you'll gain a deeper understanding of one another. The game reveals character and values, while simultaneously stimulating both your mind and body.
Building relationships goes beyond business transactions, and that translates into how Dormie Network handles your account as well. To ensure a personalized experience, your dedicated network concierge, who serves as your main point of contact, is on hand to understand your specific requirements, provide personalized assistance, and address any questions or concerns.
Service with a thoughtful gesture.
For a warm welcome and a memorable first impression, we can package personalized gifts awaiting your guests in their cottage upon arrival. Our merchandise managers will enhance your trip with gifts to impress. Merchandise reflects your brand and tailors to your guests’ preferences (custom merchandising also available).
Every element is thoughtfully considered to impress your guests. From personalized notes to weather forecasts and cottage refreshments throughout the day, no detail is too small or left unconsidered. We’ll have your clubs waiting on your cart, nameplate on your cottage door, and meet you at the turn with snacks and cold beverages.
3. Full-service destinations streamline your trip.
Our state-ranked championship courses are impeccably maintained, showcase the beauty of their region, and are suitable for a variety of skill levels—but Dormie Network is about so much more than that.
All-in-one convenience.
Everything you dream and more is on-site. Each Dormie Network club has a clubhouse with a full-service restaurant, bar, board room, golf shop, and a variety of cottage offerings. On arrival, each member and guest receive a golf cart for the duration of their stay to navigate the property. With everything on site, there are no cabs to catch or confusion on where to meet—so you can make the most of your time.
4. Creative cuisine promises to impress.
Enjoy fine dining at the clubhouse, unwind in a cozy lounge, and savor a delicious meal together created by our talented chefs. Each club has one of the best full-service restaurants in their region—and it’s not hard to see why.
Delight your clients.
Our club’s chefs customize locally sourced, regionally inspired dishes to please any palate. Order from the menu or bring your own cravings and we’ll make it happen. Members have raved over the Chef’s Table tasting menu, bourbon bone marrow luge, Piedmontese Beef Tasting, whole hog roast, cheese-wheel pasta, and Northeast seafood feasts.
We are happy to accommodate allergies or preferences, and can serve meals in the main dining room, private dining areas, conference room, in your cottage, or even have lunch available at the turn. Pre-ordering is available, so dinner is ready as your guests arrive, as you finish up on the 18th, or at another pre-arranged time.
5. No awkward ‘here’s the bill’ moment.
Fostering genuine connections and meaningful interactions takes time, and simplified single-intake billing removes any potential distractions or disruptions that could hinder the relationship-building process. You can focus your energy on creating an atmosphere of trust and reliability, showing your clients that their experience and satisfaction are your top priorities.
Minimizing administrative hassles and prioritizing connections.
By reducing administrative tasks like keeping and organizing receipts, you have the opportunity to engage in deeper conversations, understand your clients' goals and challenges, and find ways to add value to their experience. The result is a more authentic and meaningful connection that goes beyond the transactional nature of business.
6. Variety of locations keeps clients interested in the next meeting.
With seven hype-worthy destination clubs across the country, Dormie Network promises a consistent level of service and quality so you can experience the best of each unique geographical area…and a baked-in reason to follow up with your contacts. Every club offers distinct regional charm for a truly one-of-a-kind overnight experience.
Easy to get to, hard to leave.
With proximity to the vibrant cities of Denver, Charlotte, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Nashville, New York, Omaha, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, San Antonio, and St. Louis, you’re never too far from your next destination. At which club will you entertain clients next?
To book your next trip, contact any network concierge or inquire about membership.
7. Off-the-grid clubs offer confidentiality.
Each Dormie Network destination provide the ideal setting for privacy and discretion. In the clubhouse, you'll find private meeting spaces designed specifically for confidential discussions. The cottages provide even more options, with meeting areas indoors and out, and large boardroom-style tables in the Executive, 8-plex, 12-plex, and Owner’s Cottage options, ensuring that you have the perfect space for your specific needs.
When it comes to accommodating client groups, you’ll find flexibility and exclusivity at the clubs. You’re welcome to let client groups enjoy their own cottage (either accompanied, or at the unaccompanied rate), or invite them the night before you meet for a round and lunch.
A retreat for focus and privacy.
Even the course ensures its own sense of quiet, with a relaxed pace of play and 15-minute tee times. Take your time—it’ll feel like your own private course, ensuring that you and your clients can enjoy uninterrupted discussions without feeling rushed or crowded.
