Introduction Golf Outing Information At Marbella Country Club, golf events are our specialty We have a long history of welcoming groups and events to our club. Golf packages are available for groups of all sizes. Whether you are planning a small golf outing of 12 players or a full field shotgun (up to 144 players), allow our experienced hospitality experts to assist you with every detail. Our staff works together to provide you with a top quality golf experience every time. Format considerations are important when blocking space or collecting pricing information. From tee time events to modified shotguns and full fields, our Club can accommodate most any request. A Confirmation Agreement will be sent confirming all details including number of players, format, start time, date, and any other details determined at the time to hold space. Once the signed Confirmation Agreement is returned with the full deposit, the event is considered definite. The non-refundable deposit, which is applied to your total, is required to reserve your date. The amount of the deposit is dependent upon the size and type of event you wish to hold. 100% of the final estimated balance is due 10 days prior to the event date. You are obligated for and guarantee payment of all charges. All outstanding balances must be settled on the Golf Outing Date. Payment for final charges are due when presented to you and will be based on the greater of the Guaranteed Guest Count or actual number of participants, and may also include service charges, breakage, other services or merchandise purchased on the Golf Outing Date, and cash bar. Adjustments to the group’s size and requirements may be made without penalty or surcharge pending final guarantees are received by the course within ten (10) days prior to the event date. A reduction of more than 50% of the group’s requirements within ten (10) days is deemed a cancellation and thus subject to a cancellation fee. To complete your tournament experience, we invite you to host your awards banquet in one of our banquet rooms. These are completely complimentary for four (4) hours of use with the purchase of one of our banquet packages.

Tournament Starting Options Straight Tee This option is ideal for small groups (12-51 players). Each foursome will tee off at the first (1st) tee in sequential order. Modified Shotgun Best option for groups with 52 to 128 players. The entire tournament will start at the same time. Full-Field Shotgun This option is designed for groups with 128+ players and requires that the full course. Two groups start on each hole. All players will start and finish at approximately the same time.
Tournament Formats Best Ball Twosome 2 persons play as a team, taking handicaps as they fall on the card. Lowest score on the hole with handicap counts toward the team’s best-ball score for round. Only the lowest score on the hole is counted. The team that has the lowest 18-hole score wins. Best Ball This format may be played as 2, 3, or 4-person teams. Golfers play their own ball on each hole, and the lowest score is recorded as the team score. This format may be played with or without a handicap. This is usually a fun format with a medium pace of play. Results can be calculated quickly. Scramble This format is probably the most enjoyable type of tournament because only the good shots are played and the pace of play can be very fast. All players hit a tee shot and the best tee shot is selected. All players take their next shot from that point. The process is repeated until the ball is “holed out” and the team records a score. The winning team is the one that records the lowest 18-hole score. This format promotes easier and faster scoring. Shamble This format is also one the more enjoyable types of tournaments because, like a scramble, you use good shots only for a portion of the hole, but you also get the opportunity to play your own ball. Each person hits a drive, and the team selects the best one. From that point forward, each player plays his own ball through the hole. The team records a score and the winning team is the one that records the lowest 18-hole score.
Special Events and Contests Closest to the Pin (KP) A prize is awarded for the shot that comes to rest closest to the pin; normally played on the par 3s. Closest to the Pin on 2nd Shot A prize is awarded for the shot that comes to rest closest to the pin; can be played on any hole on the golf course except the par 3s. Longest Drive (LD) A prize is awarded for the longest drive off the tee box that lands in the fairway; this is normally played on the course’s longest length par 5. Longest Putt A prize is awarded to the person who makes the longest putt on a specific green. Recommended contest on the course’s putting green at the clubhouse prior to the start of the tournament to promote a fun and competitive atmosphere while providing a reasonably rapid pace of play. Shortest Drive A prize is awarded for the shortest drive off the tee box, which lands in the fairway; normally played on the same par 5 of the longest drive contest or on a hole with a natural hazard between the tee box and the fairway (e.g., a lake, marsh, ravine, or cliff). Straightest Drive A white line is placed down the middle of the fairway. The drive off the tee box that comes to rest closest to the line is the winner; normally played on the course’s last par 5 but not necessarily the same par 5 used for the longest and shortest drive contests.

Corkage and Hole Sponsor Information Hole Set-Up Fees & Information for Hole Sponsors If there will be on-course hole sponsors at your tournament, please have them contact the Event Sales Director to make arrangements for set-up of their individual holes. Please refer to the pricing below as applicable to all hole sponsors who will need on-course set-up and food and beverage; or find out if they plan on bringing outside food and beverage. All food and beverage consumed on-site must be purchased from The Yorba Linda Country Club unless otherwise authorized by management. Only club employees may serve alcohol, as they have obtained proper California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control licensing. Standard Set-Up Included in Tournament Package Standard Set-Up includes a table with linen and chairs. Additional Staffing $150 per Staff If any ALCOHOL is being served at a hole on course, only a Marbella Country Club employee may serve it. If a member of the Marbella Country Club staff is required to serve at the hole or continuously restock product on the hole, the above set-up rate is charged for the duration of play. Outside Product Fees Generally outside product is not allowed unless otherwise authorized by Marbella Country Club Management. If the product can be served from outlets already staffed or is stationed on course without a staff person (non-alcoholic beverages only), the following charge will occur only without the additional staffing charge.

Items not Allowed on Course Please inform all of your hole sponsors, volunteers, staff and players of these restrictions. • No Glass • No unapproved Outside Food or Beverage • No Denim • No Inappropriate Attire
Tournament Planning Planner “To Do’s” • Have groups arrive “on time” - no later than 30 minutes before starting time and/or first meal function. • Alert the course as to how the group will be arriving (e.g., motor coach, limo, vans or individually). • Have complete and legible NAMES on each golf bag. • Provide a pre-tournament agenda to all involved, including starting times, locker room usage, catered functions and golf. Note which expenses are the responsibilities of each golfer. • Provide the players list to the course no later than 72 hours prior to the event. Player pairings list can be sent to our head golf professional at golfpro@marbellacc.net • Notify and have delivered to the course all sponsor signs, welcome banners, tee markers or contest prizes, no later than 48 hours prior to the event. When shipping to the course, address all shipping labels to the “attention of:” Tournament Office and note “hold for (tournament and date)” to ensure proper delivery and holding. • If the length of playing time is a concern due to daylight hours (seasonal); planned functions before/after the tournament back at the hotel; and/or difficulty of course, here are a few hints to maximize the playing time: 1. Select the proper tournament format for the level of players. 2. Limit the number of contest holes; too often there are too many and each takes twice the average length of time to play given the prizes offered. 3. Start on time. 4. Promote “ready golf” - remind players to: • Have (or purchase) golf balls, tees, tee markers, and divot repair tools. • Carry an extra ball in a pocket at all times. • Carry a putter with your other club when within chipping distance of the green. • Be ready to putt when it’s your turn. • Take ONLY ONE practice swing for each shot. • Keep track of your score throughout the hole/game. • Add and record scores away from the putting green and en route to the next hole. • Check to ensure all clubs used for chipping and bunker shots are picked up after putting. • Purchase food and beverage items only when it is clearly not your turn to play.
