Each year, the Noblesville Chamber of Commerce hosts its golf outing and fundraising event, but this year, golfers can expect to network in a different way than in previous years – by meeting local craft brewmasters.
The all-day event on Sept. 29 is boasting four local brewers – Flix Brewhouse, Four Day Ray Brewing, Sun King Brewery, and Noblesvile’s own Deer Creek Brewery.
“Every third hole, there’s going to be a tasting from a different brewery in Indiana, including Deer Creek,” Chamber President Bob DuBois said.
In addition to beer, golfers and attendees will play the course at Purgatory Golf Club, 12160 E. 216th St., Noblesville. The course sits on 218 acres and has been ranked as the No. 1 course in Indiana and has made list of the nation’s top 50 and 100 courses.
“It’s like a business-to-business expo,” DuBois said. “Every hole features a different business. It’s one of the deeper networking opportunities that we have, because you’re spending six-plus hours together with business folks in a fun setting. You get beyond your family and business and talk about issues and develop those business relationships.”
Major sponsors include Sun Development, developer of the new Embassy Suites and conference center off Exit 210, First Merchants Bank and Riverview Health. Team foursomes and sponsorships are $600 and include 18 goles of championship golf with GPS-enabled carts, on-course craft beer samples, refreshments, a boxed lunch by Subway, B2B networking and a 19th hole reception by Tucanos Brazilian Grill. An array of sponsorship opportunities are still available by calling 317-773-0086 or emailing [email protected].
