Charity Golf Tournament Fundraising
Three new revenue lines for your charity golf tournament. Zero up-front cost.
Add a hole-in-one prize, a $100 Golden Ticket raffle, and a Vacation Station silent auction — all backed by HGA. Built for the tournament format: no live auctioneer required, no committee burnout, no inventory you have to buy.
The tournament reality
Cart sponsorships and foursome auctions hit a ceiling. You're leaving five figures on the course.
Most charity golf tournaments raise the bulk of their revenue from entry fees and sponsorships — and then add a couple of donated prizes that barely move the needle. Your golfers have means. They'd pay for a real hole-in-one shot. They'd buy a $100 raffle ticket without thinking. They'd bid on a Tuscany villa at dinner.
You just need the prizes — and a model where you don't have to buy them up front.
Three revenue lines, one event
Hole-in-one. Raffle. Silent auction. Built for the way golf tournaments actually run.
No live auctioneer, no stage program, no inventory you bought with your own money. All three run independently and you pay only what's owed after the day is done.
Hole-in-One contest
Low-cost hole-in-one prize coverage
Add a hole-in-one contest to one (or every) par 3 — backed by HGA Golf Prizes. Pay a small premium to insure a major prize and keep every entry-fee dollar your golfers pay to play it.

$100 Golden Ticket raffle
Sell a capped run of $100 raffle tickets all day at registration, the turn, and the bar. Draw the winner at the awards dinner. Net $7,500–$27,500 from one drawing on top of whatever your tournament already raises.

Vacation Station silent auction
Turn one corner of the awards dinner into a multi-trip silent auction. Reserve a table of 6–10 vacation packages on consignment, post the bid sheets, and let your golfers bid all night. You only pay our reserve on the trips that actually sell.

Frequently asked
Charity golf tournament fundraising, answered.
- What is hgagolfprizes.com?
- It's HGA's dedicated site for charity golf tournaments. Hole-in-one prize coverage, golf trip packages, raffle prizes, and tournament-specific tools all live there. If you're running a tournament, that's the fastest catalog to browse.
- How does the hole-in-one prize coverage work?
- You pay a flat premium based on the prize value and yardage. If a player makes the ace, the prize is delivered to them — your nonprofit owes nothing more. If no one aces it, you keep every entry-fee dollar from the day.
- Why focus on raffle and silent auction instead of a live auction?
- Golf tournaments are different. Your guests are spread out for 4-5 hours, the awards dinner is informal, and most tournaments don't have a live auctioneer. Raffles and silent auctions match that format — golfers can bid or buy tickets all day at their own pace, and you don't need a stage program to clear five-figure revenue.
- How does the Vacation Station silent auction work?
- We send you printable digital posters and bid sheets for 6-10 reserved vacation packages. You print and set up a table at the awards dinner with the posters. Golfers walk by, write bids, and the highest bid for each package wins. After the event, you pay our reserve only on the packages that sold above reserve.
- What's the $100 Golden Ticket raffle?
- A capped run of $100 raffle tickets sold throughout the tournament — at registration, the turn, the cart-girl run, and the dinner. One ticket is drawn at the awards dinner. The Golden Ticket prize bundles 3+ bucket-list trips behind a single package, and the winner has up to 2 full years to pick which trip they want and book it. Most tournaments net $7,500–$27,500 on one Golden Ticket alone.
- Can we run all three on the same tournament?
- Yes — and most successful tournaments do. The hole-in-one runs on the course, the Golden Ticket raffle runs all day, and the Vacation Station silent auction runs at the dinner. Three independent revenue streams, one event.
- Do we owe anything if a silent auction trip doesn't sell?
- No. Every trip on the Vacation Station table is consigned. If a package doesn't clear reserve, it goes back to HGA and you owe zero. The only fixed cost on the day is the hole-in-one premium.
- How quickly can we set this up?
- There is no minimum lead time. Because every marketing material is digital, our turnaround is as fast or as far out as the tournament wants it to be — we have set up Vacation Station tables and sent the full media kit on the day of a tournament. Most tournaments confirm hole-in-one coverage and a Vacation Station table within a single phone call, and digital marketing materials are sent within a few business days. If you want a comfortable runway for the raffle to sell, 4–6 weeks before the tournament is ideal — but it's not required.
