Enquiries & Bookings FAQs

Why should I book a golf holiday through Your Golf Travel instead of by myself?

We love this question. We would ask this question if we weren't us.

The answer is very simple: we're professionals at this. And, because we're the biggest golf travel company in the world, we can leverage our unique partnerships with some of the best golf courses and venues around the world to make sure our customers get the best rate possible. We also do the heavy lifting for you. All the sourcing and booking of flights, organising of transfers, sorting tee times, rooms (and room upgrades). So give us your brief, your dream golf break or your weekend getaway idea and we'll sort it for you. Easy as one, two, tee.

What does it mean when you say that you are ABTOT and ATOL protected?

We hold an ATOL licence (9851) which means that your money is safe when you buy a flight-inclusive holiday or certain flights from us. We are a Member of ABTOT. All the package holidays we sell are covered by a scheme protecting your money if the supplier fails. For more details on what is and isn't covered under these two schemes, please see our terms and conditions here.

What do you mean by Flexible Guarantee?

If your situation changes and you are unable to travel to your destination due to the FCDO advising against all but essential travel and you have booked a package holiday we will help with making any alternative holiday. Any difference in price or non-refundable charges from our suppliers would still need to be paid by you.

For full details on cancellations please see section 7 of our terms and conditions.

How do I make an enquiry?

There are several ways to make an enquiry with us. You can either go through our website, and submit an enquiry through one of the forms attached to our various packages. You can call us on 0800 043 6644. Alternatively if you've had contact with one of our Golf Travel Experts in the past, you can reach out to them directly.

What happens after I have made my enquiry?

If you make your enquiry online, we will reach out to you by phone or email to discuss your plans further. We will need a little more information from you, to tailor the experience to exactly what you're looking for. Then, we'll produce a quote for you. When you're happy with your quote, we'll proceed to booking stage at which point we take a deposit, and lockdown your tee times, flights and accommodation.

What happens if I don't like the quote the agent provides me with?

If you don't like the quote our Golf Travel Expert sends to you, let them know. We're here to help you on your way to a phenomenal golf holiday. We'll happily look at ways to change up the quote so it matches your requirements.

How much is my deposit?

This depends on where you are travelling to. Deposits are usually £35 for UK & Ireland, £75 for Europe and £150 for Rest of World plus any additional deposits needed by our suppliers, including flight costs, which will be explained by your booking agent.

What if I am travelling in a group? Do my group members need to be involved in the booking process?

Your groups members don't need to get involved unless: A. they're paying directly for their share of the holiday or B. they want to. The easiest way to have your group involved is by downloading the YGT App, and adding them all to your booking so that they can see the itinerary and pay through the app if they need to. Otherwise, they can liaise with your designated Golf Travel Expert on payment/itinerary as needed.

Outside this, we'll liaise directly with the lead booker on details like passports, any travel documentation and payments.

Not everyone in our group is a golfer, are you able to organise things for them to do during course times?

Of course! We're all golfers, it has to be said, but when we go out to vet the courses and venues we play and stay at, we make sure to take in as much of the local area as possible. We've been whale watching, to the Superbowl, Camp Nau for , desert quadding, to the Moulin Rouge, hiking, dancing, fishing - we could go on.

If anyone in your group doesn't fancy golfing on one, or all the days, let us know and we would be happy to recommend some other activities for them.

Why is it important to book tee times in advance?

Simple, tee times get booked up. But also, we get preferential tee times with a lot of our partner courses, which means other YGT travellers may get their slot booked before you do. Don't wait!

Can I add someone to my booking?

Yes, subject to availability with the venue(s) we can add people to your group. In order to help we need to know whether they will be added to the same current itinerary or whether they require any changes. This change can be requested via our Customer Experience Portal

European Travel Entry Requirements

What is the EU Entry/Exit System (EES)?

The EU is introducing a new digital system to record when people enter and leave the Schengen Area, travelling on a UK or non-EU passport. It’s called the Entry/Exit System (EES).

When will the EES take effect?

The system is due to begin on 12 October 2025

What happens the first time I travel after EES starts?

On your first trip, you’ll need to register on arrival by giving your fingerprints and having your photo taken at border control. This may take a little longer than usual and will replace the current system of manually stamping passports.

How long does my registration last?

Your details will be kept for three years, so you won’t need to register again during that time. If you do enter the Schengen area again within this three year period, you will only need to provide a fingerprint or photo at the border upon both entry and exit.

Do children need to register?

Children under 12 don’t need to give fingerprints, but their photo may still be taken.

How might this affect my trip with Your Golf Travel?

You’ll need to ensure, at least 28 days in advance of travel, that you have updated all passenger names in the Your Golf Travel App. You can also email any updates to cs@yourgolftravel.com. This way we can make sure the names of all travellers appear accurately in any documentation relating to your hotel accommodation.

Where can I find more information on this?

The official government site with up to date information can be found here - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/eu-entryexit-system
