How to Plan a Chic Stylish and Fun Golf-Themed Party

Whether you’re throwing a birthday bash, bridal shower, hosting a girls’ golf day, or just love any excuse to “par-tee,” a golf-themed party is a playful way to bring people together. From creative décor to cheeky cocktails, here’s your step-by-step guide to planning a golf-inspired party that scores big on style and fun. I am sharing chic and stylish golf-themed invitations, decorations and food and beverage ideas to boot.

No matter what time of year it is, a fun golf theme is always a hit for any party.

I help my friend Carolyn plan and decorate for a fun golf themed bridal party so I wanted to share creative ideas for your golf themed party. Whether you play golf or not, i hope you find these ideas “par-fect” for your next party.

Step 1: Fun Invitation Ideas For A Golf-Themed Party

Set the tone from the start with golf-inspired invitations that build excitement and hint at the fun to come.

Creative Invitation Ideas

• Use golf puns or wording like:
  • “Tee Time for a Party”
  • “Fore! Fun Times Ahead”
  • “Join Us for a Swingin’ Good Time”
• Include a playful touch like a mini golf pencil, tee, or turf accent attached to the invite.
• If going digital, use graphics like golf flags, scorecards, or greens with pink and green preppy fonts.
• Don’t forget to include:
  • Date, time, and location
  • Dress code (e.g., Country Club Chic, Retro Golf Glam, or Masters-Inspired Attire)
  • A teaser about games, cocktails, or contests to build excitement

Step 2: Set the Scene

Venue Ideas

Choose a venue that fits your vibe. A local golf course offers a built-in setting—plus golf carts, tee time, and clubhouse perks. Just be sure to coordinate with the staff for catering, space, and any golf-related extras.

Want to stay home? Transform your space into a backyard country club! Lay down faux grass rugs, hang vintage golf posters, and set up putting stations for an instant “on the green” feel.

Decor Inspiration– Decorations For A Golf Party

In order to set the mood for your golf inspired party theme, the following ideas to take your party venue to a new level. The golf themed decorations are super chic and fun.

a. Grand Entrance

• Create a welcome sign in a golf theme
• Decorate the front door
• Park a golf cart near the entrance and decorate it

b. General Interior Golf Themed Decoration Ideas

It’s all in the details when it comes to creating a festive golf-themed party atmosphere. Mix playful touches with polished elements for a setting that feels both sporty and stylish.

Here is list of popular golf themed decoration ideas:

• Use artificial turf as table runners or placemats, then top with scattered golf balls and tees for that “mini green” effect.
• Stick to a color palette of classic green, white, and yellow (a nod to The Masters), or elevate it with gold accents for a luxe twist.
• Incorporate miniature golf flags, clubs, and flagsticks into centerpieces or buffet tables for on-theme flair.
• Wrap real golf clubs in floral garlands and lean them against walls or doorways as decorative statements.
• Hang banners with cheeky golf sayings like “Hole-in-One,” “Tee Time,” or “Let’s Par-Tee!”
• Add golf ball balloons or balloon garlands in coordinating colors for a lighthearted, photo-worthy moment.
• Style side tables or bars with vintage golf trophies, playful movie quotes (like “Be the ball, Danny”), or custom signs that say “19th Hole This Way.”

A Masters Themed Party

Host a Masters-worthy par-tee with classy golf decor, on-theme bites, and stylish invites—perfect for gals who love a little green with their glam. The following are golf themed decorations and decor and styling ideas.

Decor & Styling

A Masters-themed golf party is such a classy and fun way to celebrate—whether you’re hosting a viewing party, birthday, spring gathering, or just love that Augusta National energy. Think Southern charm meets preppy golf tradition, with iconic green jackets, yellow accents, and a nod to those legendary azaleas. Here’s a roundup of Masters-inspired party ideas to bring that Augusta magic to life:

• Color Palette: Masters green, sunny yellow, white, and touches of gold
• Table Runners: Use artificial turf or green linen to mimic the course
• Centerpieces:
  • Azalea bouquets in white vases
  • Clear vases filled with golf balls, topped with fresh flowers
  • Mini golf flags with guest names or table numbers
  • Small vintage golf trophies or flagsticks
• Additional Decor Ideas:
  • Hang green & yellow balloon garlands
  • Use signage like “Welcome to Magnolia Lane,” “Tee It High & Let It Fly,” or “The Green Jacket Lounge”
  • Style drink stations with mini Masters flags, golf-themed props, or gold frames featuring past winners
  • Prop an artificial green backdrop with a Masters-style leaderboard for photo ops

Step 3: Table Settings & Centerpieces

Set your tables with sporty flair and polished style:

• Use striped or gingham plates in green, navy, or blush
• Tie napkins with twine and add mini golf pencils or charms
• Build centerpieces using faux turf, golf balls, and fresh flowers for a mini putting green vibe
• Display place cards in mini buckets of faux grass with a golf ball and tee holding each name

Floral Vases With Golf Balls

Clear floral vases with golf balls at the bottom are a clever, elegant way to add themed flair. Picture a tall glass vase filled partway with white golf balls, topped with fresh blooms in pinks, whites, or greens. The mix of sporty and chic makes it a conversation-starting centerpiece. Vary the height for visual interest or cluster a few together for added impact.
