Frequently Asked Questions
Planning a golf holiday should feel exciting, not confusing. Below you’ll find answers to some of the questions we’re asked most often, from how our bespoke golf holidays work to payments, protection, group bookings and travel details. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, our team will be happy to help.
Booking Your Golf Holiday
The easiest way to start is to send us an enquiry with your preferred destination, dates, group size and any courses or hotels you already have in mind. One of our golf travel specialists will then come back to you with a tailored quote.
​
If you’re not sure where you want to go yet, that’s fine too. Tell us what sort of trip you’re after and we’ll help narrow down the best options.
Yes. Most of our golf holidays are built around you, rather than taken straight from a fixed package. We can help with hotels, golf courses, tee times, transfers and wider travel arrangements, depending on what you need.
​
Whether you want a short UK golf break, a luxury European resort, a winter-sun trip or a larger group holiday, we’ll shape the itinerary around your plans.
At the moment, most bookings are handled by our team rather than through a full online checkout. This allows us to check live availability, confirm tee times and make sure the quote properly matches your group.
​
You can browse ideas online, then send us an enquiry when you’re ready.
For popular golf destinations, peak travel dates and larger groups, it is best to book as early as possible. This gives you a better chance of securing your preferred hotel, tee times and room types.
​
For smaller groups or more flexible dates, we may still be able to find excellent options closer to departure.
Destinations and Golf Courses
We arrange golf holidays across the UK, Ireland, Europe and worldwide. Popular destinations include Portugal, Spain, Turkey, France, Italy, Scotland, Ireland and many more.
​
We can also help with long-haul golf holidays, luxury resorts and bucket-list golf experiences.
Yes. That’s one of the main reasons people book with us. Different groups want different things. Some want championship courses, some want nightlife, some want an all-inclusive resort, and others want a relaxed hotel close to great golf.
​
Once we know your dates, budget, group size and preferred style of trip, we can suggest suitable destinations and resorts.
Yes. If you have particular courses in mind, let us know when you enquire and we’ll check availability where possible.
​
If you’re unsure, we can recommend courses based on your group’s ability, location, budget and how challenging or relaxed you want the golf to be.
Yes. We arrange golf breaks across the UK and Ireland, including resort stays, links golf, countryside hotels and group golf weekends.
​
These are popular for shorter trips, society breaks and groups who want great golf without flying.
Yes. Winter sun golf holidays are very popular with UK golfers, especially to destinations such as Spain, Portugal, Turkey, Cyprus, Morocco and the UAE. Tell us when you’d like to travel, your budget and how much golf you want to play, and we’ll suggest suitable options.
Groups and Societies
Yes. Group golf holidays are a big part of what we do. We can help arrange hotels, golf, tee times, transfers and other travel details for small groups, societies, corporate trips and larger parties.
​
Group trips can take more planning, so it helps to have an idea of numbers, dates and budget when you enquire.
Yes. We can help golf societies find suitable destinations, courses and accommodation for their next trip.
​
We’ll take into account the size of the society, golfing ability, preferred board basis, travel time and whether the group wants a relaxed break or a more competitive itinerary.
Yes. If some people in the group are not playing golf, we can suggest resorts and destinations with good facilities, nearby towns, beaches, spas, restaurants or sightseeing options.
​
This is especially useful for couples, mixed groups and longer holidays where not everyone wants to play every day.
Yes. We can help with corporate golf travel, incentive trips, client entertainment and team golf breaks.
​
Depending on the trip, we can look at suitable hotels, meeting space, golf courses, transfers and extras to make the experience run smoothly.
What’s Included
This depends on the destination and the quote, but a golf holiday package may include accommodation, golf rounds, tee times, transfers, buggies, baggage, meals or other extras.
​
Your quote will clearly show what is included, so you know exactly what you are paying for before you book.
Flights may or may not be included, depending on the package and how you want to book. Some customers prefer to arrange their own flights, while others want help with a fuller travel package.
​
We’ll explain what is included in your quote and what you may need to arrange separately.
Yes. Airport transfers can often be added to your golf holiday quote. This is especially useful for groups travelling with golf clubs or staying at resorts where car hire is not needed.
​
Let us know your flight details once confirmed and we can advise on transfer options where available.
In many cases, yes. Buggies, club hire, extra rounds and other golf extras can often be requested, depending on the course and destination.
​
Availability and prices can vary, so it is best to mention these when you enquire.
Yes. Tee times are an important part of most golf holidays, and we’ll help arrange these as part of your itinerary where possible.
​
Popular courses and peak tee times can book up quickly, so we recommend planning ahead if you have specific courses or times in mind.
Payments and Protection
Where financial protection applies, we’ll explain this clearly before you book. Many package holidays sold in the UK are financially protected, and flight-inclusive package holidays are usually covered by ATOL protection.
​
Your booking confirmation should clearly show what protection applies to your holiday.
ATOL is a UK financial protection scheme for certain air travel and flight-inclusive package holidays. If your booking is ATOL protected, you should receive an ATOL Certificate after making a payment.
​
Not every travel arrangement is covered by ATOL, so we’ll make clear what applies to your specific booking.
Yes, we strongly recommend taking out suitable travel insurance as soon as you book. Travel insurance can help cover things such as cancellation, medical treatment, travel delays, lost luggage and golf equipment, depending on the policy.
​
Make sure your policy covers golf and any specific activities you plan to do.
Deposit amounts can vary depending on the destination, suppliers and type of package. We’ll confirm the deposit required before you book.
​
Your quote and booking confirmation will also show payment dates, balance due dates and any important cancellation terms.
Final balance dates vary by booking. We’ll confirm this clearly when you book, so you know when payments are due.
​
If you are booking as a group, we recommend making sure everyone understands the payment schedule before confirming.
Changes, Cancellations and Support
Changes may be possible depending on the suppliers, destination and how close you are to travel. This could include changes to names, room types, tee times, dates or extras.
​
Some changes may involve fees or price differences, so it is best to contact us as soon as possible.
Let us know as soon as possible. The options will depend on your booking terms, room arrangements, golf reservations and supplier rules.
​
In some cases, the price for the remaining travellers may change, especially if room shares or group numbers are affected.
If you need urgent help while travelling, contact us using the details provided with your booking. We’ll do what we can to help resolve the issue or guide you to the right supplier contact.
​
We always recommend keeping your booking documents, emergency contacts and insurance details handy while away.
Weather policies vary by golf course and destination. Some courses may offer a credit, alternative tee time or other arrangement, but this is not always guaranteed.
​
If poor weather affects your golf, speak to the course or resort at the time and contact us if you need help.
