In response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, companies of all sizes have been faced with the need to shift focus and operations rapidly. If you’re in-office, a bit of desk shuffling has become necessary to ensure proper social distancing. Many companies have even elected to ditch the office space and go completely virtual. Either way, another fallen domino is the company-sponsored, “crowd-intensive” events. Whether a corporate vacation or an off-campus company meeting, many businesses have had to reschedule corporate events.
We hope everyday life gets back on track towards normalcy soon. Once it does, you’ll hopefully be ready and able to put together that company getaway once again without fear.
At Deer Creek Golf Club, we’ve done our fair share of hosting corporate events. As a South Florida country club, we miss the fun times just as much as you do, but we look forward to catering to your business’ needs as soon as we can. If you’re looking for tips on rescheduling corporate events, we’ve put together a helpful list of ways to get things in order for your next gathering.
Have a Few Plans Ready to Go
If 2020 showed us anything, it’s that we never know what’s around the corner. It’s not ideal, but flexibility is key to navigating the task of rescheduling corporate events during a pandemic. You need to have a few dates and plans set out for your event. If you’re unable to be flexible with the date and time for a certain event idea, it might be best to further postpone until the world is a bit less volatile. The last thing you want to do is splurge in advance for a rescheduled corporate event only to have to cancel it – again.
Virtual Happy Hour
If you’ve been among the many companies who elected to call your living room an office for the past few months, there’s no reason to leave the couch for a corporate event and risk your health and safety. Hop on a Zoom call with the team and host your own virtual happy hour. Put together a themed dress code or distribute the necessary pieces to pull off a murder mystery dinner party. Save the big expensive outings for after the pandemic has passed. There’s plenty of teambuilding to be done virtually.
Create a Safety Plan
If you’re ready to get your small office back together for a corporate golf outing, you need to prepare for all the safety protocols that will need to be taken. Limit the person-to-person interactions, keep disinfectant wipes and hand sanitizer handy, and—please—wear a mask. We miss the fun outings with the office as much as anyone, but the most important thing must be the safety of your employees.
Once you’re looking into rescheduling a corporate event, look no further than Deer Creek Golf Club. We have a storied history of hosting corporate events in our expansive event space in Deerfield, FL. We’re a perfect venue for reunions, weddings, and corporate events. Call 954-429-0006 to get your reservation started and the event planned. We hope to see you soon!

There’s nothing more rewarding than a successful event.
This is especially true when applied to corporate events; businesses are grown, customers are satisfied, and relationships are forged. In addition to providing businesses and customers with a pleasant time to build relationships with each other, corporate events are also a great way to gain more business.
Deer Creek, South Florida country club, has some advice to make your next corporate event one for the books.
Determine Your Audience
To attract viable business for your company, tailor your event to your crowd. Figure out what kinds of clients would be most likely to attend an event for your service. An event at one of the golf clubs in Florida, like Deer Creek, would appeal more to golfers and would be perfect for a company selling golf merchandise. With this, you can craft your party, gala, or gathering with a specific audience in mind.
Choose the Day & the Time
Whether your event is at one of the golf clubs in Florida or at a local coffee shop, schedule your event on the slow hour of a slow day. This way, you will be gaining more business during that time, while not detracting from the business procured on busier days and hours.
With this, you should also keep your audience in mind. If you’re hosting a corporate event for your boating company at a South Florida country club, figure out a day and time in which more boaters would be more likely to come. For instance, a Saturday morning may not be a great choice, since your clients may be out sailing.
Provide Contact Information & Follow-Up
Make sure that you don’t leave your guests hanging. Establish some form of contact and exchanging of information, so that either parties can follow-up in the future. Otherwise, the event would have been a waste for your business.
While there’s much more to hosting an effective corporate event, at Deer Creek Golf Club, we hope that these tips and hints help you craft an event that will profit not only your business but your customers, as well.

Hosting a Banquet at a Golf Course
Have you been looking for that perfect location for your banquet? Well, it’s time to stop looking. Golf courses are the new hot spot to host all sorts of events, including banquets. Most banquets start off with people socializing and talking about why they are all gathered, which would be perfect on an outdoor patio. And then everyone usually eats, which would be great at a golf course because most golf courses typically have some kind of chef or catering company. And then speeches are given, which would be perfect in the country club that most golf courses have on the grounds. All-in-all, the perfect place for a banquet.
In today’s society, no matter what kind of event you go to, except maybe a funeral, people are always snapping pictures. Pictures, mainly selfies, are an integral part of today’s culture. So when it comes time for your banquet, why not give your guests the best photo op available with the picturesque views that accompany golf courses?
A golf course is the perfect location for all of your hosting needs. Most of the time you tell them what you want, and they make it happen in a more beautiful way than you ever imagined. Picture it. Everyone is dressed up for your golf course banquet event, whatever kind it is, and everyone is mingling outside on the outdoor patio as the sun is beginning to set, and then everyone moves into the luxurious banquet hall of the country club that takes your breath away. The perfect place for the perfect event.
