What to do when your golf course tells you "You're too big!"

Today we got a call from a manufacturing company that over the past few years has grown significantly. Years ago they started a tradition of hosting an annual golf tournament for all their staff including management, office staff, and all the guys on the shop floor. Golf worked well. They could simply book a local course and have the course event staff take care of the golf, a meal and drinks.

Everyone had a good time. People golfed (in some cases at least some resemblance of golf happened!). People ate. People drank. People had fun.

Their people loved to work for a company that would make an effort to thank them for all their hard work. Morale increased. People became more productive. The company grew.

Then it became apparent they were a victim of their own goodwill. One day the golf course called and said they'd grown too big to do golf. With 300 people now, golf just doesn't work. What to do?

They called us and asked about our fun large group events. "You mean for a similar per person budget I can get an activity everyone will love, and do a great social afterwards with food and drink?" Yes you can.

Corporate Castaways is a great solution for large groups. It's an absolute ton of fun, and allows you to mix teams up however you want. Anyone can do the challenges, and the way we set them up promotes lots of fun competition, laughter, fun trash talking between teams, and most of all, lots of stories to tell afterwards. We can set it up virtually anywhere, and following the challenges set up a great casual meal for everyone to enjoy.


The Amazing Chase works really well for groups in a city setting. Work during the morning, then after lunch, set everyone off on our race course throughout the city. Afterwards, meet back up at your preferred restaurant or watering hole for a great meal, some drinks, and a ton of storytelling.

We've been planning fun large group events all over the world for decades. Whether it's Corporate Castaways, The Amazing Chase, or one of other fully scalable fun activities, we'll have a great solution when your golf course tells you "you're too big".
