FAQS

Everything you need to know

What does the trip include?

Our price is what you pay. No hidden extras, no surprises. All golf fees, 4-star accommodation, 2 meals daily (including a post-round pint), luxury coach transportation, all excursion costs, and all tips are included — so you really do not have to open your wallet again.

How many people will be on the tour?

Typically between 12–20 guests join our tours. This gives each group a great diversity of personalities, but is not overwhelming. We also do our best to vet our guests. The magic of our trips is that each guest who joins wants to have the time of their lives!

What if my spouse doesn't golf but wants to come?

Absolutely. There is a small premium for non-golfing guests staying in the same room as a golfer. Their itinerary includes additional tours and excursions while golfers are on the links — spa treatments, shopping excursions, art, and other local cultural excursions.

I'm not a great golfer. Is this the right tour for me?

This is not a Pro Tour. The courses are challenging, but we are here to experience and enjoy. We ask that you hit from appropriate tees and maintain a pace of play (max double par on any hole). The average scores range from mid 80s to high teens. This trip is for all!

What is your refund policy?

Unfortunately, we cannot offer a refund as we must pay in full long before the tour starts. However, you can substitute at any time. Please note we must withhold €500 due to the work involved. All hotels, meals, transportation, and activities are pre-paid so early departure credits are not possible.

Can you create a custom tour?

We are pleased and well equipped to offer custom itineraries covering golf, accommodation, local transportation, and non-golf experiences. We rely on the support of our many friends, hotel and golf club partners to craft relaxed or precise itineraries that satisfy every expectation.
