Why this package wins for nonprofits
Golf packages sell fast at charity auctions because they promise escape, competition, and a chance to play courses that matter. This Golden Ticket works differently — the winner gets to choose their own destination. Want all-inclusive beachfront in Cabo with a round at Cabo Real Golf Club? You can have it. Prefer the desert heat of Palm Springs with back-to-back rounds at PGA West and Escena Golf Club? That's on the table too. Two players, proven courses, clear stakes. For your nonprofit, the appeal is just as straightforward: you pay nothing upfront. HGA holds the risk. If the package sells, you only owe the $3995 reserve — and you keep every dollar raised above it. The winner's choice model tends to drive competitive bidding because it removes the guesswork; golfers know they're not locked into someone else's preference.
The experience your winner walks into
The winner calls the shot: Cabo or Palm Springs, and the trip unfolds from there. Choose Cabo and you'll arrive at a beachfront all-inclusive resort where four nights and three days wrap around a single round at Cabo Real Golf Club — one of the region's most respected layouts. Every meal, every drink, gratuities, and non-motorized activities come included; you pick your resort from multiple options depending on what appeals to you most. Or choose Palm Springs for three nights and three days where the focus sharpens to pure golf: two rounds total, one at PGA West — the Pete Dye masterpiece that's hosted pros and amateurs for decades — and one at Escena Golf Club, where you'll experience another side of the Coachella Valley's design landscape. Both paths put two players on the course with everything mapped out, nothing left to negotiate once you arrive.
