A charity golf day can be the perfect setting
for entertaining clients at the same time as
putting your company’s chosen charity in the
spotlight. Mixing a meeting and teeing off
with an in-house competition over nine or 18
holes is another option.

the greens though! The following courses
offer superb corporate facilities, excellent
levels of service and delegate rates that make
choosing a golf course for a standalone
meeting a good value option too. And if you

It’s impossible not to be
impressed at Sandford
Springs Golf Club in
Hampshire. Set in the rolling
hills of Watership Down
territory, this golf venue has
a unique 27-hole layout, with
three 9-hole looped circuits;
The Park, The Woods and
The Lakes.
The first nine are played on
The Park Course. This par
34 round will challenge with
strong winds that are more
common on a links course.
The signature ninth hole
is protected by lakes and
bunkers, so accuracy will
reward golfers here!
The middle nine of The Woods
will impress with its tree-lined
fairways and tricky greens.
At par 36, this circuit is the
hardest of the three and with
a particularly challenging 13th
over water and a deep bunker,
its time to get combative on
this course!

In a Spin Over
England’s
All-Rounders!
From the stumps of the village green on
a sunny Sunday afternoon to the cries of
‘how’s that’ from test matches that are
televised to millions across the world, cricket
continues to grow in popularity with the
2019 World Cup having played a big role in
the rise.
Hosted in England and Wales, it was an
exciting final between England and New
Zealand that was decided by a super over,
before England were crowned eventual
winners. Viewed by a record-breaking 2.6
billion fans, it’s the most watched cricket
championship ever.
With a summer of county cricket ahead, a
business meeting in the morning followed
by an afternoon of cricket whites, centuries
and catches sounds very appealing.
