| Greens to Envy |
| From first-timers to veterans of the game, golf is "fore" everyone. So make it unconventional next time you're entertaining corporate clients on the links by heading to one of these courses. |
|
| THEMES FOR TEAMS. Leave it to Walt Disney World to pair playful entertainment themes with the game of golf. Available at the Lake Buena Vista property's Osprey Ridge, Magnolia, and Palm golf courses, these uniquely themed events allow foursomes to engage in adventures on the links. Programs offered include "Putters of the Caribbean," in which each foursome becomes a pirate crew and each green is an island to be captured, and "Around the World in 18 Holes," a spin-off of Jules Verne's classic novel Around the World in 80 Days that boasts continent-themed holes and an Oktoberfest celebration upon completion. For the golf guru, Disney's event group also offers Disney's Pro Golf Tour event, which emulates the PGA Tour, where participants are announced by a guest ESPN Club speaker and surrounded by staffers acting as fans who clamor for autographs. |

FOR THE GOLF ENTHUSIAST. Whether you want to treat corporate V.I.P.s or create a unique incentive program, the TOUR Player Experience at TPC Sawgrass and Sawgrass Marriott Resort & Spa is a hole in one. From luxury accommodations to a red-carpet greeting upon arrival, as many as eight guests will experience what it feels like to be PGA Tour player. The experience includes access to exclusive amenities and facilities such as player locker rooms and dining areas, as well as a personalized Tour Academy instruction session prior to a round on the Players Stadium Course. In addition to receiving souvenirs like an engraved money clip and a personalized bag tag, participants are also assigned a professional storyteller/caddie who inspires them to re-create shots from the pros. Groups of as many as 28 can also participate in the experience, but must use the public locker rooms.
THE GREAT INDOORS. Great for serious golfers or those looking to play socially, Urban Golf in Jacksonville offers something for everyone, accommodating groups as small as eight to those as large as 250 for total buyouts. The venue features an indoor driving range, chipping and putting greens, and virtual simulators, which allow attendees to choose from more than 50 championship courses worldwide. The unique space also boasts indoor and outdoor lounge spaces, as well as a tapas-syle food menu and a broad selection of beer and wine. Personal and group lessons, memberships, and gift cards are also available.
