Our Story

Built on Golf, Hospitality & Long-Term Relationships

National Golf Events began in San Diego in 1998 as a specialized corporate and tournament golf operation serving business meetings, conventions, incentive programs and hotel clients.

As returning clients began asking NGE to provide the same level of golf support in other destinations, the company expanded nationally and incorporated as National Golf Event Management, Inc.

Today, NGE combines decades of hands-on golf knowledge with the service standards expected by Fortune 500 companies, luxury hotels, resorts, destination management companies and professional meeting planners.

What We Do

One Partner for the Entire Golf Program

We coordinate the moving parts of your golf event so your internal planning team, hotel or agency does not have to manage multiple golf vendors independently.

Customized online registration, player information, individual payments and rental-club requests.

Administration

Pairings & Event Materials

Execution

Onsite Event Management

How We Work

Plan. Coordinate. Execute.

Every program is customized, but our role remains the same: simplify the golf component and provide professional accountability from the first conversation through the final golfer.

01

Plan

We learn your destination, program schedule, number of players, objectives and budget, then identify the golf solution that best fits the overall event.

02

Coordinate

Our team manages the course relationship, contracting, participant requirements, event materials, vendors, billing and operational details.

03

Execute

On the day of play, NGE professionals are onsite to oversee the golf operation and serve as the primary point of contact for your guests and partners.

Hotel & Hospitality Partnerships

Golf Expertise That Integrates with the Hotel Program

National Golf Events has worked alongside hotel sales teams, resorts, conference services departments and destination management companies for decades.

Rather than operating as a disconnected vendor, we work as a specialized golf partner to the broader meeting, convention or incentive program.

That includes aligning course selection, transportation, event timing, guest communication and golf logistics with the needs of the hotel and meeting planner from the beginning.

Long-Term Partnership

Hotel del Coronado Since 1998

National Golf Events' hospitality roots include a longstanding relationship with the iconic Hotel del Coronado, where Sebastian Medori has served as the in-house Director of Golf since 1998. That experience helped shape the service model NGE continues to provide to leading hotels, resorts and DMCs today.
