Golf Outings for Conservation & Wildlife Organizations

Golf outings fit naturally into your banquet auction. Your members travel for hunting, fishing, and outdoor adventures, so a golf trip to a bucket-list course gets attention. Packages that pair golf with something else, like a Bourbon Trail stop or a Western adventure, often see bidding wars. Because your crowd bids competitively by tradition, the same trip can sell to the first and second bidder, doubling your take. You only pay for experiences that sell, keep 100% over the cost, and can add items even the day of the event.

Your crowd is not a typical charity audience. They are outdoors people who support conservation work and show up ready to bid on trips they will actually take. They skip the spa packages and bid on fishing, hunting, and golf. Your event already runs on a banquet rhythm with raffles and live auctions. Adding golf outings fits that culture because it is a natural extension of what your members already love.

Cost depends on the trip. Packages range from local golf weekends to bucket-list courses with add-ons like fishing or bourbon tours. You set the starting bid 15 to 20 percent above cost, so profit starts immediately. There is no upfront cost. You reserve items for free and pay only for what sells. If a package does not sell, you owe nothing.

Start by browsing a list of golf trips and outdoor experiences. Choose what fits your members and reserve the items free of charge. Giveback XP provides a one-page marketing sheet for each experience to use in your auction program. At your banquet, sell them as live or silent auction items. After the event, you report which items sold and send the winner information. The travel team handles booking, and winners have up to two years to take their trip. You pay only for packages that sold, and you keep 100 percent over the cost.

Your banquet now has golf trips that your members bid on with the same energy they bring to hunting and fishing packages. You raised more money without paying for anything upfront. Winners enjoy their trips, and your organization puts the extra dollars straight into conservation work.
