Let the guest of honor set the pace
A golf fan may want a course round, while a mixed group might prefer short challenges. Plan a format that lets beginners participate without feeling rushed. Tell the team how many guests expect to play and how many will join socially.
Plan the celebration details
Ask about food service, the time available for your group and any rules for cakes or decorations. Confirm age and supervision requirements if children will attend. Avoid making promises to guests until the venue has confirmed what it can accommodate.
Start with a date and headcount
Send the birthday date, a backup time and your estimated attendance. Ask for current pricing, bay allocation and group terms. The planning inquiry starts a conversation; it does not create a reservation.
