Hospitality
When the Toshiba Classic comes to town, there is no place golf fans would rather be than in a hospitality venue at the tournament, enjoying food, beverages and an unmatched view of the action. Hospitality venues are the best way to entertain current customers and develop new ones at the tournament. And the Toshiba Classic offers a wide selection of hospitality options designed to meet various sized budgets and guest lists.

Villas
At 1,200 square feet, the Toshiba Classic Villas are the largest hospitality venues at the tournament. They provide an outdoor deck for spectating as well as an indoor, heated and air conditioned area for food and beverage. Each Villa offers panoramic views of two different holes (the 18th and either the 10th or the 15th) and can accommodate up to 70 guests.

Skyboxes
Each skybox is perched on the edge of the green to offer an unparalleled vantage point of the tournament. Loaded with amenities, skyboxes accommodate up to 30 guests at a time. They are available on the 16th, 17th and 18th holes, which also happen to be the playoff holes at the Toshiba Classic.

Pavilion Club
For those who want to entertain a smaller number of guests in an exclusive setting, the Pavilion Club offers private tables for 10 with food and beverage available on demand all day. Located behind the green on the par-5 15th hole, the Pavilion Club is a popular hassle-free hospitality option that requires no coordination with the tournament caterer -- simply show up and enjoy.

Partners Club
The Partners Club is a perfect option for sponsors who want to experience the amenities of a Toshiba Classic hospitality venue, but don't have the demand to fill a skybox or a Pavilion Club table. With the Partners Club, sponsors purchase individual seating in a skybox on the 17th green, home of some of the most dramatic moments in Toshiba Classic history. Each seat also includes food and beverage.
