Come unwind, share stories, and savor the moment in the company of friends—both old and new.

Golf Outings

Many people hear “Above Par Network” and assume we’re just a golf networking group. WRONG! The name was chosen to represent Above Average Networking. That said, we do offer a variety of golf events, including local outings, an indoor golf league, glow ball tournaments, Birdies and Business events, and out-of-town trips like our annual visits to Palm Springs, CA, and Myrtle Beach, SC.

Golf Excursions

Golf Excursions are more than just a golf trip – they’re a networking retreat. By getting members out of town, these trips offer a unique opportunity to focus on building strong, lasting relationships while enjoying top-tier golf courses and the best experiences each location has to offer. It’s all about connecting, unwinding, and fostering deeper connections with fellow members in a relaxed, yet engaging setting.

Indoor Golf Leagues

More Info

Whether you’re new to the game or have a low handicap, our Indoor Golf Leagues are designed to make golf fun and competitive for all skill levels. With a handicapped format, everyone has a chance to shine. Plus, we beat the hot Arizona heat by playing indoors in air-conditioned comfort. Enjoy food, drinks, and all kinds of swing analysis data from the state-of-the-art simulators while still engaging in some friendly competition. It’s the perfect way to play, improve, and connect with fellow golfers without breaking a sweat!

Glow Ball

Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or just out for a good time, these events are designed to foster connections and laughter in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Come for the game, stay for the fun, and enjoy networking with fellow members under the stars!

Birdies & Business

More Info

Birdies and Business is our take on Nine and Networking—a relaxed nine-hole round where members and guests can enjoy the outdoors, meet new people, and connect over shared interests. By keeping the game short, participants have plenty of time afterward to grab food or drinks, continuing the conversation and investing in meaningful relationship-building. Perfect for those who want to blend business with a casual round of golf, Birdies and Business creates an ideal setting for forming connections while keeping things light and enjoyable

APN Business Development Program

While we do have larger companies like Cox Media and Waste Management in the network, the majority of our members are small to medium-sized businesses. Our Business Development Program offers a series of events designed to help CEOs, business development leaders, sales professionals, and others grow both personally and professionally. Through these events, members gain valuable insights, strategies, and connections that support business growth and career advancement.

Business Development Luncheons

Each luncheon is packed with valuable insights, lessons learned, and actionable ideas. It’s an opportunity to build meaningful connections with peers, exchange solutions, and leave with fresh perspectives to tackle both personal and professional hurdles.

At 12:30, we settle down for lunch, where conversations become more personal and meaningful. It’s the perfect way to build relationships while enjoying a delicious meal, all while ensuring you’re home in time for family dinner.

Business Deep Dives

More Info

Business Deep Dives offer network members a unique opportunity to take a comprehensive look at their business through a customized SWAT analysis. For a small fee, participating businesses will receive a tailored analysis that identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. Based on these findings, a panel of network members—experts in relevant fields—will be assembled to address the specific needs of the presenting business. During a half-day session, participants will engage in a deep dive with these masterminds, receiving valuable insights and actionable strategies to tackle their biggest challenges and unlock new growth opportunities.

APN Elevate

More Info

APN Elevate is a paid cohort program designed for business owners looking to build strong, lasting relationships while receiving ongoing support. These groups meet once a week via Zoom and come together in person once a quarter, creating an environment where members develop deep bonds. More than just networking, APN Elevate fosters a tight-knit community where participants become brand ambassadors for one another and tackle real-time business challenges collaboratively. Think of it as a blend of mentoring, support group, and thought partnership—helping you navigate your business with the guidance and encouragement of peers who are equally invested in your success.

Bonus Events

Plain and simple, one thing that sets us apart from traditional networking organizations is that we don’t have all the red tape. Yes, networking can actually be fun! Our bonus events include wine and tequila tasting parties, pub crawls to network bars, our annual nonprofit poker tournament, suites at sporting events, and more. These events provide a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that allows members to build genuine friendships while networking.

Pub Crawls

More Info

Our Network Pub Crawls are all about fun, friendship, and supporting APN member bars! We rent a party bus and take the crew on a lively tour of 4-5 different APN bars, creating a relaxed atmosphere for building relationships while enjoying some adult beverages. These fun-filled days are perfect for letting loose and connecting with fellow network members outside of the usual business setting. Be prepared for plenty of laughs—and fair warning, some hilariously off-key singing tends to break out on the bus after the first couple of stops!

Tequila & Wine Tasting Parties

More Info

Our Tequila and Wine Tasting Parties bring together small groups of network members for a fun and relaxed exploration of fine tequilas and wines. These intimate gatherings are the perfect way to deepen connections while expanding your palate. As you savor a curated selection of drinks, you’ll enjoy great company, lively conversation, and the opportunity to build lasting friendships and strong professional relationships in a laid-back atmosphere. Sip, savor, and socialize—it’s networking, but with a glass in hand!
