Plan a corporate golf day and see why more companies choose Redstone for golf tournaments in BC
Rossland’s Redstone Resort is where a growing number of BC companies bring their teams for a fabulous day on the links. It starts with a driver in hand surrounded by breathtaking scenery and ends with a delicious plate in front of them. If you’re weighing options for corporate golf, or scouting golf tournaments in BC that can flex from a small client outing to a company-wide event, here’s what actually goes into booking one.
Why Companies Choose Redstone for Corporate Golf
Redstone is the only Les Furber Signature design in Canada, an 18-hole championship layout carved into the base of the Monashee range outside Rossland. That pedigree matters less for the scorecard than for the impression it leaves: this isn’t a generic muni booking, it’s a course clients and employees remember. Add a full practice facility, driving range, on-site golf shop, and hospitality carts running bar service down the fairways, and the golf itself is only the opening act.
The reason Redstone keeps landing repeat corporate bookings, though, is what happens after the last putt drops. Which is where the Clubhouse comes in, and where the real planning decisions live.
Group Sizes and Shotgun Starts, Explained
Corporate golf days don’t come in one size, and Redstone is built around that. The course can run anywhere from a simple block of tee times for 16 golfers up to a full double shotgun accommodating 300 players in a single day.
A shotgun start is what makes a large corporate golf event logistically possible. Instead of every group teeing off consecutively from the first hole, groups start simultaneously from different holes across the course, and everyone finishes around the same time.
Great for a company trying to get 60 or 150 employees through 18 holes and into a shared lunch or awards presentation on schedule. A shotgun start is the difference between a tight, well-run event and a day that drags into the evening. Smaller groups, a client foursome, a 16-person sales retreat, typically run on a standard tee-time block instead. This keeps things simple and doesn’t require exclusive use of the course.
Where the Day Really Comes Together: The Clubhouse
The golf gets people to Redstone. The Clubhouse is what turns a round into an event. Recently renovated and restored, the log Clubhouse sits above the course with an expansive patio looking out over the fairways. The natural gathering point is once carts are parked and scorecards are turned in. It’s also the resort’s most flexible space: the dining room and patio combined can host groups from 20 to 100 people. We can cover the vast majority of corporate bookings without needing a separate tent or off-site venue.
This is worth building into the plan from day one rather than treating catering as an afterthought. A corporate golf day that ends with everyone driving home separately leaves value on the table. For the group and for the host. Booking the round and the Clubhouse together means the networking, the awards, and the informal conversations that are often the actual point of the outing all happen on-site. We offer a kitchen team of three chefs (60-plus combined years of experience) handling food that’s described in-house as pub fare with a fine-dining approach.
Catering at the Clubhouse: What’s on Offer
For groups of 25 or more, Redstone takes the guesswork out of feeding a crowd.
Buffet and family-style menus scale cleanly from a simple protein-and-salad spread to a more elaborate multi-course affair. Organizers can match the meal to the tone of the event without micromanaging the details. Prefer something lighter and better suited to mingling? Sharing plates and canapés are available as an alternative to a seated buffet. This lets the food move around the room instead of pulling people away from conversation.
The quality bar stays high across every tier: the kitchen is led by three chefs with a combined 60-plus years of experience, plating pub fare with a fine-dining sensibility, and premium proteins like beef striploin, duck, and lamb are available for groups who want to elevate the menu further. Just as important, the team builds menus around your group rather than the other way around. Dietary restrictions and personal preferences are worked in as a matter of course, not a special request.
Since packages and pricing are tailored to each event, the tournament coordinator can walk you through current options and put together a quote once your group size and format are set.
What Should a Company Budget for a Corporate Golf Day?
The per-person cost of a corporate golf day comes down to a few moving pieces: green fees, cart rentals, the catering tier you choose, and any extras like prizes, contests, or premium menu upgrades. A straightforward round with a simple buffet afterward sits at one end of the range; adding premium proteins, a sharing-plates spread, or tournament extras moves it toward the other. Because Redstone builds each quote around the group, the most reliable way to land on a number is to bring your headcount, format, and catering preferences to the tournament coordinator, who can put together current pricing rather than working off a rough estimate.
What’s predictable is how the planning scales with size. A 16-person outing is a modest, easy-to-approve expense line that a manager can typically greenlight on their own. A 100-person, double-shotgun company event is a bigger commitment. And one where custom group rates, punch cards, and format choices (scrambles, best ball, and similar) can meaningfully shift the total. It’s exactly why larger groups benefit from looping in the coordinator early. Redstone recommends locking in sponsors and invitations 45 to 90 days out, confirming logistics at the 30-day mark, and finalizing headcounts and menus about 10 days before the event.

Blocks of tee times are available for groups as small as 16 players, scaling up to a 300-player double shotgun.

Can we book golf and catering as one package?
Yes. Golf and Clubhouse catering are typically arranged together through Redstone’s tournament coordinator, who also handles registration, cart labels, and contest setup.
How far in advance should we book?
>>>>For groups over 50 or dates in peak summer months, 60 to 90 days out is ideal; smaller groups have more flexibility.

Ready to Put Your Company on the Tee Sheet?
A corporate golf day works best when the golf and the gathering afterward are planned as one experience, not two separate bookings. Redstone’s tournament coordinator can build both around your group size, budget, and date. Whether that’s 16 clients on a Tuesday tee block or 200 employees on a full double shotgun with dinner on the patio.
