A passport is necessary to travel outside of the United Kingdom.

Golf to a Tee Ltd accepts no responsibility for visa requirements and advises all travellers to ensure that the requisite documents are in place prior to travel. Health requirements for travelling abroad change, and you should check for the latest information in ample time before departure. For more information consult the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

It is the responsibility of each group member to ensure they possess all the necessary documentation i.e., passport, visas, and any other travel documentation. Golf to a Tee Ltd will not be liable for loss of service due or extra expense incurred due to the lack of such documentation. No credit or refund will be given for any unused services included in the price or for any lost, mislaid or destroyed travel documents.

15. Insurance

Golf to a Tee Ltd strongly recommends you have adequate travel insurance. Some insurance companies may consider the game of golf as a dangerous sport, and you should mention your participation when obtaining a quotation. You should also ensure that your golf equipment is covered in the policy.

Golf to a Tee Ltd recommends that you have luggage, accident, and trip cancellation insurance. Golf to a Tee Ltd will not be held liable for loss, damage or theft of luggage or personal belongings, illness, or accident. It is important for your own self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate coverage. Check with your insurance provider for further details. We do not check insurance policies, as it is your responsibility to ensure the insurance cover you purchase is adequate for all your personal needs.

Golf to a Tee Ltd also strongly recommends you take out comprehensive car insurance if renting your own vehicle for your holiday.

16. Weather Conditions during your Golf Holiday

Bad weather is unavoidable during the year and as a result golf courses may either close or the golf course will operate temporary tees and/or greens at their discretion. In the event of bad weather our “Bad Weather Policy” is:

Prior to Arrival Date

Should you choose not to travel, subject to the policy of the hotel/golf course (our suppliers), we will try and postpone your golf holiday, however price supplements may well be incurred. No refunds are available under any circumstances for cancellations due to golf course closure. Golf to a Tee Ltd will attempt to arrange alternative courses and tee times but cannot guarantee any such alternative.

During your Golf Holiday

Golf played on temporary greens or tees is non-refundable and is an accepted part of playing golf during periods of bad weather. Please note that trolley and buggy bans occur frequently when a course is wet and are determined by those in charge of the course. Golf to a Tee Ltd cannot be held responsible due to inclement weather conditions.

If you are unable to play golf on your break due to golf course closure, we will without guarantee and at our suppliers’ discretion, try to obtain a partial refund or green fee vouchers for the golf element of your break. Each hotel and golf course set its own “Bad Weather Policy”. All decisions regarding partial refunds or green fee vouchers are solely at the discretion of the hotel and golf course and are final.

17. Special Requests and Medical Problems

If you have any special requests, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to pass on any request to the relevant supplier, we cannot guarantee any request will be met. Confirmation on any Golf to a Tee Ltd documentation of a special request only confirms the request and not confirmation that the request will be met. If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disabilities that may affect you break, full details must be provided to Golf to a Tee Ltd in writing at the time of booking. If the supplier in question feels unable to fully accommodate any needs, we must reserve the right to decline your reservation, or indeed, if full details are not provided at the time of booking, cancel when we become aware.

18. Complaints
