12 Creative Golf Themed Party Ideas (2024)

4. Have a croquet party to add a chic spin

Typically seen as golf’s wealthier cousin, croquet is a game that reminds many of playing mini-golf. According to Oxford Croquet, the game dates back to a similar game played in France in the 11th century. It has evolved over the years and turned into the croquet we know today. Seeing if your guests’ golf talent translates to croquet can be a fun way to settle some scores and give your putting skills a workout!

Try it out at this resort-style oasis in Scottsdale, AZ. It has a croquet setup as well as a putting green and tons of other fun features besides!

“This house was perfect for our corporate team event,” shares a Peerspace reviewer of this Scottsdale resort. “We had a pizza truck for food, which fit great in the back yard. Everyone had a blast playing all the arcade games, basketball, and the firepit was perfect for a cool night. Greg was a great host and so was Sarah their local house host.”

5. Host a country club fashion party

A big part of playing golf is looking the part. And sometimes you just want to show off your preppy outfit without getting it dirty on the course! Give the outfits a chance to shine when you have everybody dressed up like you’re at the finest country club you can think of. Golf-themed party ideas like this get everyone thinking outside the box.

6. Shoot for the longest drive

Bombing a long drive off the tee is a favorite of many golfers, so why not turn it into a competition? Give your guests something to swing for with a longest-drive contest! You’ll definitely need enough space to safely do this one. Why not book a private driving range through Peerspace so you have all the room you need to really let it fly? For example, this eco estate in Frankford, NJ boasts private lake access, a private forest with hiking trails, and yes, a private driving range! It’s only a 70-minute drive from New York City yet feels worlds away thanks to its serenity and fabulous amenities.

7. Plan a golf course scavenger hunt

You have lots of wide open space on a golf course. This means you have the opportunity to set up an elaborate scavenger hunt. Set up some scraps of paper with some clues and tape them to golf balls. You’ll be keeping your guests busy for hours on end with a fun, interactive experience.
