How much is a typical entry fee for a charity golf scramble?

I think $500 is pretty standard, and don’t recall playing in one for less. For a private school with that kind of tuition, I think you could go $600 easily.

*But a lot of that is going to be dictated by the course. You need to find out what they’ll charge you first.

Depends on tee gift, amenities, course.

IF you have an awesome tee gift and great food you can charge more.

Sponsorships are crucial.

You could get up to $200 per player with a great course and an awesome tee gift.

Mulligans, putting contest, closest to hole and longest drive are also fun things to do that are easy money IF you price as a package. So 2 mulligans, entry to all contest for $25 per player raises $100 per group. Most people will do this.

Also, people love 50/50 raffles.

Focus your prizes on tee gifts. Cheaters tend to try to win so just give a trophy and a round of golf to winners.

In summary, invest in a great course and nice tee gifts.

At our Robert Jones Trail course, our Auburn Club tournament charges 125 a player/500 a team but we don't make much on the players. You make your money on hole sponsors and donations. Our swag bag usually has an UA or Nike polo with Auburn logo on it, some misc donated swag and free lunch there. Closest to the pin and long drive are usually a putter or driver.

My wife works at a Child Abuse Center and they charge more and fill up fast, everyone wants to give money to them as fast as they can. They raise cray amounts of money in their tournament.

I’m also selling hole sponsorships. I was thinking $1000/hole or $650 if you wanted 1/2 a hole (share sponsorship with someone else)

I wouldn't charge that much for a hole sponsorship, but then again, I wouldn't limit it to 1 or 2 sponsors per hole. I've played in tournaments with 4 or 5 signs on every tee box. I guess it depends how many you think you can get. 18 $1,000 hole sponsorships would be hard to come by in my market but maybe not yours. Many times in school tournaments such as these, the ones playing golf are also business owners that are sponsoring a hole. So maybe do a hole sponsorship and 4 man team entry fee packaged into one with a slight break on the price.

$600/team is the cheapest I’ve ever played in, and I play in probably 8 per year for work.

The last two I have played were $400/team. If you want to sponsor a hole and have a team play, it was $600. Also sold mulligans at $25. I would think you could do $500/team no problem as I am sure the courses in Dallas are top notch.

too many gifts if your chargeing $125 a man
