Golf Bookings

When you make an enquiry, we will send a quotation. This is for illustration only and is subject to availability and confirmation at the time of your booking. When you place a booking, we then confirm exact tee times, make your accommodation booking, and transport arrangements. Your booking is arranged between Portugal Golf Bookings and it's suppliers (eg golf courses and hotels) on your behalf. For your convenience, we issue you travel documents, including golf vouchers, before you leave for your holiday, usually delivered by email. Please do not make any changes to these documents yourself, as it could void them. We pay all golf courses, hotels and transport that you have booked with us on your behalf. You will simply have to hand in your voucher on arrival at the golf course or hotel. We endevour to make your golf holiday simple and problem-free.

In the event that a member or members of a golf party has to withdraw or for any reason does not wish to use all or parts of a package, a refund may be possible if applied for at least 30 days before playing. There is an administration fee of 30€ per player, and in the event that a package is cancelled in part, the remaining items booked will be charged at normal rates. In the event of a cancellation within 30 days of the date of play, we will issue the player(s) with a receipt so they can make a claim on their travel insurance. Deposits are non-refundable, but in the case where there is a reasonable reduction in player numbers (for example, where a group has booked 16 players and paid deposits, but only 14 are able to travel) we will credit the whole of the original deposit paid from the remaining balance, so long as we are informed at least 8 weeks before arrival. Should a player not be able to travel, or after departure be unable to complete his holiday because of unforeseen personal difficulty, we will be pleased to provide documentation for any travel insurance claim.

Where transfers are included in the cost of a package, this assumes that your group is travelling together, and we include one transfer from the airport and the return journey at the end of your holiday. In the event that your group have, for example, different flights, and will not be travelling together, we will need to make an extra charge for any extra transfers. Transfers between your accommodation and golf courses also assume your group will be travelling together.

Where car hire is included in your package, you will collect your vehicle from the office of Auto Jardim at Faro or Lisbon airport, unless other arrangements have been agreed in advance. Standard CDW insurance, one named driver, a full tank of fuel and hire for the amount of days stated on your car hire voucher are included. Any extras should be paid to Auto Jardim locally. You will be expected to return the vehicle with a full tank, and you will need to leave a credit card imprint on arrival to guarantee this. Please email us if you would like a copy of Auto Jardim's full terms.

We book exact tee times on your behalf with the relevant golf courses. The golf courses do reserve the right to change tee times, but this is unusual and is given with prior notice, and we will advise you of any change. Should a tee time be cancelled by the course owing to unavoidable circumstances such as severe weather, it is common practice for courses to issue a voucher (often referred to as a "rain cheque") to play at another time. In the event that this cannot be used by the players at a later date, we will again supply information for insurance purposes if requested. For bookings that are not complete 4-balls, the course or starter may, at their discretion, group players together.

Payments can be made in Pounds Sterling or Euros by cheque or bank transfer. Credit cards are processed in Euros. If your price has been quoted in Pounds but you wish to pay by credit card, we calculate the amount at the Pound-Euro exchange rate at the time of the transaction. We cannot be responsible for any extra charges that might be levied by your credit card company. You can make an advance booking with the payment of a deposit, with the balance being paid 8 weeks before arrival. We issue your travel documents when full payment has been received. If your price has been calculated in Pounds Sterling, we reserve the right to change the price in the event of a significant shift in the Pound-Euro exchange rate between the time of your booking and your arrival, but we will absorb any minor exchange rate movements.
