Top 8 Reasons for Corporate Golf Days Out
If you are planning a corporate day out, Dainton Park Golf Club may not seem like the obvious venue, but we can assure you, it’s the perfect destination.
Golfing and team bonding aside, our on-site amenities are plentiful: from meeting rooms to dining options and everything in between.
Bring clients, colleagues and partners together in a way that feels relaxed yet purposeful. Here are the top reasons corporate golf days work so well and why Dainton Park is a smart choice for your next event.
Relationship Building That Feels Natural
A round of golf spans four hours, the perfect timeframe for conversation and interactions that bring your team together.
Relationship building with a day of golf as the focus encourages dialogue that flows naturally. Walking fairways together will be far more valuable than spending a day in the boardroom.
Research into corporate team-building highlights how structured but informal activities like golf create better networking opportunities, even for underrepresented groups.
At Dainton, inclusive formats mean clients and partners of all abilities can join in without pressure. You can mix beginners with regular players or keep clients together while your team supports the group.
The pace of a golf day helps conversations unfold naturally, making relationship building far more memorable.
Real Team Building, Outdoors
Teams thrive when they are taken out of routine and encouraged to work together in a new environment.
The CIPD’s evidence review on high performing teams shows that well-planned interventions build trust, confidence and collaboration.
Outdoor settings also encourage creativity and better problem-solving, something McKinsey has noted in its research on nature and performance.
A corporate golf day wraps these elements into a single experience. The course encourages focus and teamwork, but without the rigid feel of a structured workshop.
People chat, encourage each other and celebrate the small victories. It is team building that never feels forced.
Inclusive Formats For Every Ability
Not everyone plays golf regularly, and that is absolutely fine. A good corporate golf day should cater for the whole group.
Formats such as Texas Scramble keep things moving and take the pressure off individuals. Pairings work well for beginners, and short game contests give non-golfers a fun way to join in without stepping onto the full course.
Dainton Park can help you shape the day so everyone feels included. Whether you want a light-hearted competition or a relaxed social round, the team will guide you through the best options. Mixed ability groups often turn out to be the most enjoyable.
All In One Venue Logistics
Smooth logistics matter when it comes to any corporate day out. You want a day that runs without friction and a venue that can support every stage without sending guests from one location to another. Dainton Park brings everything onto one site.
You can begin with a morning briefing in the meeting suites, equipped with AV, Wi-Fi and natural light.
Step outside for pre-round refreshments, enjoy your time on the course and return to the clubhouse for dining and post-round presentations.
Parking is plentiful, the layout is easy to navigate, and the team here understands the flow of a corporate day. It means you can focus on your guests while we take care of the details.
Scalable Days
Whether you are hosting a small leadership team or a large client event, Dainton Park has the flexibility to scale.
We regularly host society, charity and corporate days, accommodating intimate gatherings to larger get-togethers.
Packages can be shaped around your objectives, whether that is light hospitality or a full day with breakfast, on course support, prizes and evening dining.
Menus range from relaxed favourites to three course dinners, and the events team can tailor everything to your schedule.
Memorable Food And Hospitality
Food is a defining part of any corporate day out, and our clubhouse kitchen takes that seriously. You can keep it casual with hearty classics or choose a private dining experience for a more elevated feel.
In the warmer months, the terrace overlooks the course and makes a peaceful setting for drinks, networking and informal conversations after the round. If the weather turns, the Orangery offers a bright space with equally impressive views.
When the food is generous, the service is warm and the atmosphere is relaxed, your guests remember the experience for all the right reasons.
Easy To Reach In South Devon
Dainton Park sits in a peaceful corner of South Devon, yet it is easy to reach from both Exeter and Plymouth.
The setting feels out of office without demanding long travel times from your team or clients. With ample parking and a simple arrival process, it is an effortless venue for regional organisations looking to bring people together.
Add Workshops Or Training
Sometimes you want your corporate golf day to deliver more than connection and hospitality. If you need to run a morning strategy session, team briefing or product demo, our meeting suites provide a quiet and professional environment before you head out onto the course.
This blend of business and leisure works incredibly well. A focused session in the morning followed by an afternoon round helps people retain information, build rapport and return to work feeling energised rather than overloaded.
