Summary

The following Tournament and Corporate Event Planner is designed to assist you in planning a successful golf and or social event at the world class "The Perdue Oasis Golf & RV Resort." Included is information on the facility and the services we provide. Additional information is included as background, to explain the rationales for some of our booking regulations and restrictions.

Be sure to carefully read the “Perdue Oasis Golf”, “Booking Policies”. The Tournament Contract is based on these policies and the information contained in this planner. A signed contract and 10% deposit is required to guarantee all bookings.

Any group of 20 players or more is considered a tournament/corporate event and is subject to the policies and guidelines laid out in this planner.

Events up to 120 players are usually booked as tee times. Intervals alternate between seven and eight-minute intervals for the same eight tee times every hour. For example: :00, :07, :15, :22, :30, :37, :45, and :52

Requirements & Restrictions: Tee time events can be any size and may book seven days a week. Draws are restricted to a maximum of four players per group or tee time.

This format allows an event to start at scheduled tee times on both the front and back nines for a period of up to two hours. A crossover is generally held early in the morning as the back nine must be clear to use for starting. The advantage of a crossover is the ability to get all players on and off the course in half the time of straight scheduled tee times.

Requirements & Restrictions: Due to the disruption of regular green fee traffic prior to the crossover, a crossover is a rare starting format used only when regular play is minimal and will not be disrupted. A minimum of 72 players is required to schedule a crossover, while the maximum number of players cannot exceed 120. Early morning tee times are required. Draws are restricted to a maximum of four players per group or tee time. Crossover requests may be refused according to date and time.

Shotgun Starts

A shotgun start refers to a method of starting in which every golfer begins at the same time but on the different holes throughout the course. This is a great format for very large tournaments that wish to have all players start and finish at the same time. The obvious benefit is in finishing together and the ability to schedule transportation, banquets, and social activities accordingly.

Requirements and Restrictions: The shotgun start format requires the closure of the course at least five hours in advance to make room for all players. Depending on the starting time, public play is severely limited on a day in which a shotgun start is scheduled. Therefore, this format is only available Monday-Thursday excluding holidays. A minimum of 124 paid fees with cart is required. For events over the 124 minimum players, additional per player charges apply to a maximum of 144. With approval of Perdue Oasis, group sizes may exceed four players. In such cases the tournament coordinator accepts all responsibility for pace of play. All shotgun start requests are subject to facility approval and may be refused according to date and time.
