Put a golf flag in the middle of each table. Write the birthday boy/girl's name and age on each flag. Surround the base of the flag with some green shred to create a grassy base.

Create your own placecards by gluing them to two upside down golf tees.

Using indoor/outdoor grass/carpeting, cut out "putting greens" to use as placemats. Shape each one a little differently to represent different greens.

For a 40th birthday party you could use 40 each of golf items - balls, tees, pencils, scorecards, markers, names of golf courses, etc. These can be placed in glass or plastic dishes, and placed on top of white circles of gossamer or metallic paper and used as centerpieces.

Golf Party Favors

Imprint golf balls with the theme of your party -- "Happy Birthday (name)". Then hand them out as favors.

Hand out imprinted golf tees, golf towels, golf balls or golf caddies to each guest to remember this special day!

Golf Party Games and Activities

Create a fun and playful mini golf course with nine holes. Divide everyone into teams and keep score. Go down staircases, under chairs etc.

The center of each table can have a flag with the guest of honor written on it.

Fill a clear jar with golf tees. Have guests guess how many tees are in the jar when they arrive at the party. The closest to the correct number wins the tees and a sleeve of golf balls!

Encourage guests to wear golf attire. Provide guests prizes for the most outrageous golf outfit, the shirt with a logo from a golf course the farthest away etc.

Collect old photos of the guest of honor golfing and have them enlarged and mounted on poster board and place them around the room.

Get a hole-in-one! Cut a large "green" out of green flat paper. Draw a hole on the green and attach to a wall. Give each guest a white tack or a round, white sticker (the kind used at yard sales). Blindfold the guest, spin around and see who comes closest to getting their "ball" in the hole!

Purchase several dozen plastic golf balls and have a chipping contest outside! Place a flag 10-15 yards away and see who can hit closest to the pin.

Golf Party Food Ideas

Your food options for a golf party are limitless! You can have an extravagant, sit-down dinner, or simple appetizers and drinks. The choice is really up to you and your budget. If you are going with a theme party, choose foods that fit that theme.

While it may seem like a thrifty and personal touch to plan on cooking or preparing food for the party, you may find that it is generally best to do as little cooking as possible on the day of the party. Whenever possible choose food that can be prepared a few days prior to the party, or hire caterers, and purchase prepared food from restaurants, delicatessens, and food service markets.

There is no need to create extra stress when the party is upon you, and you will have more time to mingle and enjoy the festivities.

Buffet ideas:
Built-your-own Tacos or Nachos
Mini pizzas
Burgers and hot dogs
Giant deli sandwiches (Subway has a great 6' sandwich)
Great staples for a buffet style finger food meal include:
Chicken wings
Chicken strips (offer 3 or 4 interesting dipping sauces)
Meatballs (Swedish or BBQ)
Mini egg rolls
Whole water chestnuts wrapped in bacon
Veggies and dip
Assortment of sandwiches made on mini buns (about 3-4 bite size).

Make everything ahead of time, and store hot items in a warming tray, or in an oven set at 200 degrees until the feeding frenzy begins! Scatter several bowls of munchies around the areas where your guests will be mingling? Chips, pretzels, nuts, M&Ms, popcorn, and Chex? Mix. Add a few hearty dips that can be made ahead of time.
