You’ll find ideas for centerpieces, banners, table setups, and even creative backdrops—all inspired by the game of golf. So, let’s dive into the list and find the right choices for your Golf party decorations.

Cheap Golf Party Decorations

If you’re working with a limited budget, there’s no need to skip the fun details. These ideas for golf party decorations are all DIY or budget-friendly, using materials that are easy to find or already in your home. 

1. DIY Golf-Themed Signs

Custom signs are a fun and personal way to decorate your space. You can hang these signs on walls, lean them against the snack table, or set them at the entrance. 

You can use signages featuring golf-inspired phrases such as:

• “Let’s Par-Tee”
• “Hole in One”
• “Welcome to the Clubhouse”
• “Tee Time Starts Here”

These text designs work even better on signages if they’re made into UV DTF transfer stickers. These stickers are durable, waterproof, and easy to apply on various surfaces like foam board, wood, or acrylic. You just need to simply place your UV DTF transfer stickers onto blank signs. This small touch can really elevate your golf party decorations without costing much.

The special thing about our transfer stickers is that if you want something more personalized, you can order custom sticker prints with guest names, special messages, or even golf icons like clubs, balls, and flags.

Additionally, for outdoor parties, using waterproof and scratch-resistant sticker materials will keep your signs looking great throughout the event. 

2. Balloons in Green and White Theme

Balloons are an easy way to add color and shape to your setup. You can use green and white balloons to match the golf course vibe.

• Tie them in bunches and place them around the main table
• Mix balloons in these two colors and in various sizes to create a balloon party arch
• You may want to scatter some on the floor around the gift or drink station.

Balloons are low-cost, and when paired with the rest of your golf party decorations, they help tie the theme together effortlessly.

3. Cupcake Toppers Shaped Like Golf Balls

Ordinary cupcakes become decorative elements when topped with golf-themed toppers. 

You can make these using white cardstock cut into small circles. Next, use a pencil or fine pen to draw tiny dots that mimic golf ball dimples and stick them onto toothpicks and insert them into cupcakes.

You can also print out a sheet of mini golf ball images and glue them to the picks.

This little detail adds to your golf party decorations without requiring a lot of time or money.

4. DIY Paper Golf Flags and Custom Toothpick Labels

Mini golf flags on toothpicks are great for decorating snacks, cupcakes, or even as placeholders on a buffet table.

• Cut out triangle shapes from green or red paper to mimic course flags.
• Attach them to the tops of toothpicks or small skewers.
• Write numbers on them like “1,” “2,” or “18” to give the feel of a golf course layout.

To add more customization, consider pairing them with small toothpick-sized custom stickers. These stickers could include:

• Mini golf ball illustrations
• The guest of honor’s initials
• Short phrases like “Fore!”, “Nice Shot,” or “Par-fect Bite”

You can stick these stickers onto the flags or use them on their own as a second toothpick label in the same dish.

5. Turf-Patterned Placemats (DIY with Felt)

For a fun table setup, you may want to make simple turf-patterned placemats with just some simple steps:

• Use green felt cut into rectangles to resemble mini putting greens.
• Set them under white plates so it looks like a golf ball on the grass.
• If you have extra felt, you can cut small circles to place under cups or desserts too.

It’s an easy way to bring the theme to your table and round out your golf party decorations nicely.

Mid-Range Golf Party Decorations

If you’re open to spending a little more, these creative and unique ideas can help add fun and flair to your setup without going overboard. They strike a nice balance between playful and polished, and each one adds something different to your golf party decorations.

6. Golf Ball String Lights

Lighting is a simple way to enhance your golf party decorations, especially when it ties into the theme. So, string lights shaped like golf balls can create a festive glow around your space. 

You can find pre-made versions online, or make your own by placing mini LED lights inside hollow plastic golf balls.

With these string lights, you can wrap them around the snack table, doorway, or backyard fence, or use them to frame a photo booth or bar cart.

7. Golf Club-Shaped Drink Stirrers

Drink stirrers shaped like mini golf clubs are both fun and functional as one of the interesting Golf party decorations. They can be reused later and work well for cocktails or mocktails.

You may want to pair them with green cups or golf ball-printed napkins, or place a few extras in a cup near the drinks station so guests can grab one easily.

These little tools add charm to your party drinks while keeping your golf party decorations cohesive.

8. Golf Glove Holders for Napkins

A clever and classy table accent involves using golf gloves as napkin holders.

You should lay a clean glove at each table, then drape a folded napkin over it for a sporty look.

This idea is subtle, but it ties in the golf theme in a creative way that guests will likely notice and enjoy.

9. Golf Bucket Vases

Mini golf buckets can be turned into centerpieces by filling them with flowers, turf, or even tees. You can find inexpensive buckets online or at party stores.

Consider mixing flowers and artificial grass to create a fun and flexible part of your golf party decorations, especially for table or entryway displays.

Luxe Golf Party Decorations

If you want something more upscale, these personalized and premium ideas can help you make a strong impression. They are all thoughtful, polished golf party decorations, best for milestone events or social adult gatherings.

10. Personalized Golf Towel Favors at Each Seat

You can add a premium touch to your place settings by offering personalized golf towels as party favors.

• Roll and tie them with ribbon to place at each guest’s seat.
• Make it personalized by including guests’ initials with the party name and date, or a fun phrase like “Swing & Sip.”

It’s a practical addition to the party table, doubles as part of your golf party decorations, as well as a gift your guests can actually use long after the party ends.

11. Customized Golf Balls with Guest Names

The next idea is to use custom golf balls as special name cards and keepsakes at the same time. 

Place each ball on a small golf tee at the table to act as a name card. It adds a decorative detail while making each guest feel seen. Each ball can include the guest’s name and a design that ties into your party theme.

You may want to use printed or engraved golf balls for a sleek look. Or, if you’re aiming for something more creative, UV DTF transfer stickers work beautifully. These stickers can be customized with:

• Names
• Initials
• Fun icons (like mini flags, tees, golf quotes….)

Once printed, just apply the stickers onto each ball—no special equipment needed. It’s an easy way to create something custom without committing to complicated and high-volume printing or engraving directly to the balls.

This idea is one of the most memorable ways to blend personalized touches with golf party decorations.

12. “19th Hole Lounge” Chill Area

How about creating a lounge corner that mimics the feel of a country club bar? You can set it up by:

• Adding leather seating, side tables, and dim lighting.
• Bringing in a private bartender to mix custom drinks.

This relaxing zone becomes a premium highlight of your golf party decorations and gives guests a spot to unwind and socialize.
