About my booking details:

  1. What details do I need to take with me to the venues?

    For Golf breaks to the UK: For most venues, vouchers are not required and will not be sent out to you. Please take your booking confirmation with you. Your tee times and accommodation will be reserved under your name. If, in some cases, a voucher is required, we will include it in your final email travel pack, which is sent on receipt of full payment.

    For Golf breaks to Spain/Portugal/France/Italy/Belgium: Both hotels and golf courses will request vouchers on your arrival. These can be found at the bottom of the final email travel pack.

  2. What is the difference between a twin and a double bedroom?

    A twin room contains either 2 single or queen size beds. A double room consists of 1 double or king size bed. Please ensure that you have requested the correct room type, as it may not be possible to change your request at a later date.

  3. Why have I been charged a single supplement on my booking?

    Golfbreaks.com Packages are based on two people sharing a room – either a twin or double room. Where there is only one person in a room, a single supplement will be charged, this charge varies from hotel to hotel.

  4. What are check in and check out times?

    Each hotel specifies their check in and check out times. Your check in time, is the time that the hotel guarantee that you will be able to have full use of your room. If your tee time is earlier than the stated check in time, an early check in can be requested but not guaranteed. Alternatively we suggest that you leave your luggage with the hotel’s reception until your room is ready. Check out is the time that you need to vacate your room. Leaving any later than that time may incur additional charges from the hotel.

  5. Why do hotels require group bookings to have a set menu?

    Some hotels will stipulate that certain group sizes must either pre order their evening meal, or choose from a set menu. This is because the hotels like to offer a high standard of service and ensure that all guests in your group are served in a timely manner.

  6. My confirmation only shows one tee time when there are more than 4 people in my group?

    Your booking confirmation will show the first tee time that has been booked for your group, as well as the number of players in your group. The correct number of consecutive tee times will have been booked to accommodate your party size.

  7. Does my golf break include breakfast?

    Your golf break package is clearly defined in your statement of account, which is found towards the bottom of your booking confirmation. The majority of bookings are on a bed and breakfast, or dinner, bed and breakfast basis unless stated otherwise.

  8. What are handicap certificates and how do I get one?

    Handicap certificates are required at some golf clubs – your sales agent can advise of you of this. A golfing handicap certificate indicates the standard of play of an individual. It is proof to courses that you are an average to experienced player. Handicap certificates can be obtained from your club secretary and the paperwork will need to be produced to the pro shop on request.

Booking requests:

Each hotel and golf course sets its own inclement 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.
