Golf Vacation and Golfing Holiday Tips

BOOK EARLY

You are never too early to begin planning your golf holiday. Book ahead of time as demand on tee times can often outweigh supply.

NON-GOLFERS

For non-golfers in the party, we will be happy to recommend and suggest side trips. Sight seeing tours and shopping excursion are always very popular.

HANDICAP RESTRICTIONS

It is recommended that all golfers carry a current Handicap Certificate, as a number of golf clubs require visitors to show proof of same. On most golf courses a maximum handicap will apply.

CADDIES, MOTORISED CARTS AND PULL CARTS

Caddies can be requested in advance at most golf clubs but not guaranteed. Golf Clubs will do their utmost to secure caddies but caddies are not employed by the golf clubs. Payment must be made by the golfer directly. Motorised carts are generally not available on Links Courses. Pull Carts are widely available at most golf clubs.
