B M & T ••• July/August 2024 ••• www.blackmeetingsandtourism.com 41 photo credit: Kary Kern T here are golf courses, and then there are golf courses. And to the benefit of Meeting Planners looking for outstand- ing settings, some of the most outstanding courses can be found at resorts that have incorporated the sport as a major part of their operations. More than just one more attractive feature, golf courses at many resorts can help build prospects for success for any meeting. Properties well known for golf often provide top-notch meeting facilities. With a profile as full-fledged resorts rather than simply hotels, this combination offers much that meeting planners should find attractive. Golf resorts are a prime destination for such events because they allow planners the ease of fun activities within a well- appointed facility. These golf resorts also tend to have peaceful and relaxing environments because of the scenery and the greens of the golf courses, contributing to a stress-free tone for corporate meetings. Having a golf course close to the meeting facilities can be a major asset for team-building activities. BY SOLOMON J. HERBERT II
