Golf is played outdoors in tropical conditions, so the logistics of a golf team building day revolve around comfort and safety. Plan these points early and share them clearly with guests.
Provide water and isotonic drinks at every station.
Set up shaded rest areas and encourage breaks.
Remind guests to bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a cap.
Brief facilitators to watch for signs of heat stress and to stop activity if needed.
Afternoon storms are common, and lightning stops play on any golf course. Agree a trigger point for moving indoors, identify a sheltered space for the programme to continue, and prepare an indoor version of key challenges such as a putting contest or quiz.
Many golf venues have dress expectations for players on the course or range, such as collared shirts and suitable shoes. Check current requirements with the venue and include them in your invitation so nobody is turned away at the start.
Share directions, parking information and drop-off points well ahead. If your office is some distance away, consider arranging a coach so the team arrives together and nobody needs to drive after a celebratory meal.
Collect dietary requirements early and confirm catering options with the venue. Light snacks on the course and a proper meal at the end usually work best.
Golf balls travel fast. Keep spectators behind hitters, brief everyone on safe distances, and confirm with your HR or insurance contact what cover applies to staff activities.
