What is a golf fundraiser?

It’s a golf-themed activity where people donate to take part. Here are some ideas:

• Golf-a-thon: members are sponsored for playing 12 or 24 hours at their favourite course or driving range.
• Charity golf day: 18‑hole or 9‑hole, stroke play or Stableford.
• Club‑night challenges: longest drive, nearest‑the‑pin, and putting contests.
• Mini‑golf or putting pop‑ups: fun, easy options for schools, workplaces, and community groups.

Choose a local club, driving range, community course, or mini‑golf venue. Anywhere your community can get involved. 

How to fundraise for charity with golf

1. Plan your day
   Pick a date, venue, and format (individual, pairs, or team). Ask your club or venue about accessibility (step‑free routes, accessible toilets, buggy access) and community rates.
2. Set your target and ways to give
   Charge an entry fee, ask for donations on the day, add a raffle or auction, and ask local businesses to sponsor a hole or prize.
3. Create your online page and spread the word
   Set up an online fundraising page and share it with players, colleagues, friends, and family. Post updates and photos to keep momentum building.
4. Play, enjoy, and pay in
   Hold your event, celebrate your winners, and pay in what you’ve raised. Don’t forget Gift Aid. UK taxpayers can boost their donation by 25% no cost to them.
