How to Choose the Right Mix of Raffle Prizes

You don’t need 35 prizes at every event.

The ideas above are a menu to choose from.

For a smaller charity golf day, you might have 8–12 prizes.

For a larger tournament, you could have 20 or more.

A good mix might include:

• 1–2 headline prizes worth $250+
• 3–5 mid-range prizes worth $100–$250
• Several smaller prizes worth $25–$100
• A few experience prizes
• A few golf prizes
• Several non-golf prizes

This gives people plenty of reasons to buy raffle tickets.

How to Get Businesses to Donate Raffle Prizes

Don’t wait until the last few weeks before your tournament.

Start asking early.

Make a simple list of businesses that could be a good fit. Then work your way through it.

Think about:

• Businesses near the golf course
• Businesses connected to your charity
• Businesses owned by club members
• Existing event sponsors
• Local restaurants and cafés
• Golf businesses
• Hotels and resorts
• Spas and wellness businesses
• Retailers
• Experience providers
• Professional service businesses

And remember: you don’t always need a huge corporate sponsor.

Ten local businesses donating $50–$100 prizes can create an impressive raffle table.

.

⛳  Trying to stay on top of sponsor donations?

Once those donations start coming in, it’s easy to lose track of who promised what. Our Sponsor & Donations Tracker gives you one simple place to record businesses, donations, contact details, values, and follow-up.

Make Your Raffle Prizes Look Amazing

Presentation matters more than you might think.

Even a relatively inexpensive prize can look fantastic when it’s beautifully presented.

Use baskets, boxes, ribbons, cellophane, signs, and different display heights to make the table visually interesting.

And don’t forget the prize descriptions.

Instead of:

Spa Voucher — $100

try:

A Little Time for You
$100 Spa Gift Certificate
Enjoy a relaxing treatment at one of our local wellness favourites.

Now it feels like an experience.

Don’t Forget to Promote Your Prizes

If you’ve secured a fantastic prize, don’t hide it until raffle time.

Start teasing it before the event.

Share photos of donated prizes on your event’s social media channels. Mention sponsors in your posts. Include some of the best prizes in your pre-event emails.

You can even create a little suspense:

“We’ve got a pretty exciting raffle prize to reveal next week…”

That gives people another reason to look forward to the event.

.

⛳  Planning a Golf Raffle?

Once the donations start coming in, things can get surprisingly difficult to keep track of.

Who donated what?

What’s the prize value?

Has the sponsor been thanked?

Where is the prize being stored?

Who won it?

And, most importantly, did someone remember to bring it to the event?

A simple prize planner can save you a lot of last-minute scrambling.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many raffle prizes should a charity golf tournament have?

A good rule of thumb is one prize for every 10 to 15 players. Larger events often benefit from offering more prizes to keep guests engaged.

What’s the most popular golf raffle prize?

Golf experiences, premium golf equipment, weekend getaways, and gift cards consistently rank among the most popular raffle prizes.

Should every prize be golf-related?

Not at all. Including non-golf prizes makes your raffle more appealing to guests, spouses, volunteers, and supporters who may not play golf.

Can local businesses donate raffle prizes?

Absolutely. Many local businesses are happy to donate products, services, or gift certificates in exchange for recognition during the event.
