A search for golf tournaments near me mostly turns up events you can enter. Here’s how to host a golf tournament of your own at X-Golf Frisco for your team, friends, or cause. It all takes place indoors during an afternoon or evening, with food and drinks brought to your bay.
Why host your own golf tournament in Frisco
Type “local golf tournaments near me” into Google, and you’ll mostly find outdoor events around Frisco and Dallas, each with its own date, format, and entry fee. Running your own outdoor event is a bigger job. Hole In One International, which sells hole-in-one insurance for golf tournaments, recommends organizers to call courses 4 to 6 months ahead. A sample tournament schedule runs from registration starting at 8 a.m. to awards ending at 3 p.m.
Hosting at X-Golf Frisco takes far less planning than that. Your group picks the date, plays in private simulator bays, and finishes in 3 or 4 hours. Because the whole event is indoors, a storm or a heat wave never forces you to change plans.
If you only want to play in a tournament rather than run one, join the Wednesday Night Scramble, a weekly 21+ game at X-Golf Frisco that you can enter solo or with a team.
Events that work as a golf tournament
Almost any group event can run as a golf tournament here. The golf stays the same; only the reason your group gets together changes. Here is how to host a golf tournament around three common occasions.
Company outings and corporate golf events
A company golf outing at X-Golf Frisco puts your team in private bays for a few hours of friendly competition. Nobody has to be a golfer to compete because during a scramble, the team’s best shot carries each hole. Our corporate event venue in Frisco page covers team packages and booking for corporate golf events.
Birthday, holiday, and bachelor parties
A party tournament gives the night a winner to crown, while food and drinks from the kitchen and bar are delivered straight to your bay while you play. It suits a birthday party at X-Golf Frisco, a bachelor or bachelorette night, or an office party at a holiday party venue in Frisco where guests that don’t golf have something to do besides standing around.
Fundraisers and charity golf tournaments
If your search for “charity golf tournaments near me” was about hosting one, X-Golf Frisco hosts them indoors all year. Teams of three play a scramble, two teams share each bay, and your organization raises money without renting a course. The fundraiser golf tournament at X-Golf Frisco page covers the format and pricing, and our guide on how to plan a charity golf tournament walks through sponsors and ticket sales.
How a golf simulator tournament works
In a golf simulator tournament, teams play a real course on a screen from private bays, and the simulator keeps every score. Each bay holds up to 6 players. X-Golf Frisco has 10 bays, so a large group can spread across several and play at the same time.
Your group picks from more than 50 courses, including Pebble Beach. X-Golf’s multi-sensor system tracks full swings and the short game, so chips and putts count like drives. The software scores stroke play, scramble, and skins, plus closest-to-the-pin and longest-drive contests.
Nobody needs to hunt for a ball in the trees or wait on the group ahead, which keeps a golf simulator tournament on schedule. Your group plays, eats, and wraps up inside the time you booked.
Step 1: Pick your group size and package
Your headcount sets the package. The Two, Three, and Four Simulator Events start at 12, 18, and 24 guests.A Facility Buyout gives your group the whole venue. For anyone working out how to host a golf tournament on a budget, simulator events run $35 to $40 per person, with soda, tea, and gratuity included. Here are the details for each event package:
| Package | Guests | Time | Food included | Price |
| Two Simulator Event | 12 to 18 | 3 or 4 hours | 3 items per bay (6 total) | $35 per person (3 hours), $40 per person (4 hours) |
| Three Simulator Event | 18 or more | 4 hours | 3 items per bay (9 total) | $40 per person |
| Four Simulator Event | 24 or more | 4 hours | 3 items per bay (12 total) | $40 per person |
| Facility Buyout | The whole venue | 4-hour minimum | Catering options available | $2,650 for 4 hours, plus $600 per added hour |

Step 2: Choose a scramble or another format
A scramble is the easiest format for a mixed-skill group.Everyone on the team hits a shot, the team picks the best one, and everyone plays their next shot from that spot. A beginner’s miss costs the team nothing, and a good shot from that same player can still win a hole. Our guide explains how a golf scramble works in more detail.
A 9-hole, 3-person scramble with 2 teams per bay fits into a 3-hour session. It’s also the format we use for our fundraiser tournaments. Any group can book this setup. You can also reserve the bays you need and run your own format.
Want more than one winner? Add closest-to-the-pin or longest-drive contests, or host a full round of stroke play for a group that wants to crown a true low-score winner.
Step 3: Plan the food, drinks, and prizes
Food and drinks come straight to your bay, so nobody leaves the game to eat. Every simulator event package includes 3 food items per bay, and drink tickets are $6 each at every package level. The Facility Buyout includes catering options and offers beer, wine, and liquor as add-ons. Browse the food and drink menu to plan what your group orders. Alcohol is served only to guests 21 and over.
Pick a prize for each contest you add, such as the low team, closest to the pin, and longest drive. Trophies, gift cards, and a year of bragging rights are all great options. Skipping cash keeps the tournament open to every guest.
Step 4: Book it and let our team run the day
Booking takes four steps, and you can start without committing to anything:
- Call (214) 308-9011 or send your date, headcount, and questions through the inquiry form on our event pages.
- We come back with the dates that work and the package that fits your headcount.
- Lock in the date, and our team sets up your bays with the course and format you picked.
- Show up with your group and play.
On an outdoor golf outing, the organizer books the course, catering, and scoring. Here, our team handles all three, plus the setup.
