Golf and business have forged a strong link over the years. An estimated 90% of Fortune 500 CEOs play golf, whilst executives who play golf make an average of 17% more than those who don’t.
Many business professionals and amateur golfers feel the two go hand in hand. But a more traditional corporate golf membership model doesn’t always lend itself to business needs. What if you’re visiting your clients at their offices for the day? And if you only have time to play when business suits, a fixed-fee model isn’t always the most cost-effective way to hit the course.
If you’ve ever thought about using a few rounds of golf to entertain clients, prospects, and partners or as rewards for your employees then a flexible corporate golf membership could be the way forward.
In this article, we explore five reasons why a flexible corporate golf membership is better than a fixed corporate membership.
Five advantages a flexible corporate golf membership has over a traditional corporate membership
1. Play golf near your national offices
When you sign up to a traditional corporate golf membership, you’re limited by which golf course(s) you and your guests can play on. With a flexible corporate golf membership like PlayMoreGolf’s, you’ve got access to over 200 courses across the UK, allowing for a larger networking radius.
With such a large number of playable courses comes a greater opportunity to open up your business on a national scale. So, whether your offices are located in the south or the Midlands, Southampton or Newport, Aviemore to Cornwall, you’re able to play golf locally.
2. Show your clients you care by travelling to their location
Sometimes clients can be put off with travel arrangements to your offices. Instead, why not show them a duty of care and prove your willingness and flexibility to travel to your client’s location? Treating them to FREE rounds of golf at their local golf club is a great way of showing you care. PlayMoreGolf’s flexible corporate golf membership also entitles you and your guests to traditional corporate membership perks, so why not treat your clients further with great food and rounds of drinks at the clubhouse?
3. There’s no admin for you to take care of
Many corporate memberships don’t offer assistance with your admin. Our team of experts is dedicated to making our service as efficient and smooth as possible, so from contract renewals to point totals, we’ve got you covered.
4. Play golf for a cheaper price
PlayMoreGolf’s corporate membership package is cost-efficient in comparison to many clubs’ usual corporate membership package. Typically, a traditional corporate golf membership would cost between £2,000 - £5,000 (exc. VAT) per annum, whereas we only charge £1,625 (inc. VAT). This allows you to play up to 250 rounds of golf per year, and you’ll also receive four associate memberships with each one entertaining up to three guests.
5. Provides an alternative away from a stressful office or meeting room
We all know what it feels like to need a break from the office. Treating your colleagues, clients, and prospects to rounds of golf is a welcome way to get away from the desk and enjoy some fresh air. Many of our courses offer peaceful and tranquil surroundings, and while we can’t promise you a stress-free game against your clients (how’s that handicap looking?), we can promise that you’re not just limited to the one golf club down the road.
