How Mackey House Turned Their Pond Into a Premium Waterfront Golf Experience
Savannah’s Mackey House Embraces Pop-Up Waterfront Golf for Events & Weddings
In 2023, we had the pleasure of introducing The Mackey House, a stunning event venue in Savannah, Georgia, to the idea of transforming their picturesque pondside setting into a pop-up waterfront golf driving range. From the moment they saw the potential, they were all in.
We walked them through the business model, helped them select the right equipment, and shared what we’ve learned from running hundreds of waterfront golf events ourselves (check out our Ultimate Guide To Creating A Waterfront Driving Range). Their team quickly recognized that this wasn’t just a fun activity—it was a profitable and differentiating experience for their clients.
Since then, The Mackey House has incorporated pop-up waterfront driving ranges into countless weddings and a growing number of corporate events. The backdrop of their pond, framed by elegant landscaping and southern charm, has proven to be the perfect location for guests to Tee Off in Paradise™ using biodegradable golf balls.
Hyundai x Mackey House: A Celebration with a Splash
Last week marked one of Mackey House’s most high-profile golf events to date: a corporate celebration hosted by Hyundai to honor their recent investment in the state of Georgia. The event brought together Hyundai leadership, government dignitaries, and regional stakeholders for an event full of speeches, connection, and celebration.
After remarks were made and toasts were shared, attendees grabbed clubs and took aim at a GolfShotBot™ Floating Golf Target, hitting ZERO™ Biodegradable Golf Balls across the pond. It was a fun, symbolic, and visually striking moment—and a perfect way to cap off a celebration of economic growth and community partnership.
We were honored to be there to support The Mackey House as they delivered an unforgettable experience for an important client. Watching our partner run their own waterfront driving range with confidence, creativity, and impact—that’s what it’s all about.
A Model for Waterfront Venues Everywhere
What Mackey House has done is a blueprint for how other waterfront venues can offer something completely unique:
✅ A new revenue stream
✅ An elevated guest experience
✅ A fun, memorable activity that works across weddings, corporate events, and social gatherings
✅ And of course—no environmental guilt, thanks to the use of ZERO™ biodegradable golf balls
