Thank you for visiting the Banyan Tree Golf Course's website and we hope to assist you as a host site for your tournament. It is our desire to assist you in any way to make your event as successful as possible. Here is some information to assist you in conducting a golf tournament.

Formats are chosen by the host organization. The most popular format for morale enhancement or fund raising tournaments is a scramble. In a scramble format, each player on a team (2 to 4 players) hits a shot from the teeing ground. The best shot of the group is chosen and each player then hits from that spot (within one club length no nearer the hole). The process is followed until the ball is holed and one score is recorded for the team.

Other popular formats include four-ball and individual stroke play. In four-ball format, teams are comprised of two people. Each player plays his own ball through the hole and the best score of the two is recorded for the team. Individual stroke play pits each player against every other player. If you need help determining the format best suited for your event, please contact the Banyan Tree Golf Course Tournament Coordinator for assistance.

In addition to the format, the POC is responsible for choosing other aspects associated with the tournament. Closest to the pin awards on par threes and longest drive competitions are two ideas that provide incentive for golfers. Also, the selling of mulligans is an effective way to raise money for prizes or for your charity. Mulligans provide players a "do over" on the shot of their choice. Mulligans may be sold in any increments.

Banyan Tree Golf Course is a full service facility, and the use of our pavilion area is available to all tournaments conducted on our grounds. We are also able to provide food service for your event. Requests for pavilion use and food service must be made at least one week in advance. All menu selections and quantities needed must be selected at this time. Available menu items are provided on the following page.

It is our hope that you will receive a full field for your event; therefore, the Banyan Tree Golf Course provides incentive bonuses encouraging you to do so. If your are able to guarantee 120 players for your tournament, the golf course will provide $250 in Pro Shop gift certificates in denominations of your choice. If you are able to guarantee 144 players (full field) for your event, the golf course will provide $500 in Pro Shop gift certificates.

We look forward to assisting you with your tournament. Feel free to contact the golf course staff if you have questions.
