Why Booking Your Golf Holiday Early Is a Smart Move

If you know when and where you want to play in 2026, getting your golf trip booked early is simply the smart move. Whether you're heading to the UK, Europe or further afield, the benefits of booking your golf holiday early include better value, more availability, and far less stress.

Check out the top reasons to book early below:

When you book your golf holiday early, you don’t just get peace of mind – you get rewarded too. With our Early Birdie promotion, bookings made between 1st August and 30st September 2025 for travel in 2026 can unlock exclusive extras, including:

• A Callaway Elyte Driver,
• A year’s supply of Callaway Chrome Tour golf balls (12 dozen), or
• Up to £500 in bonus Breakpoints, depending on your group size and destination

Tee times, especially at Europe’s top courses, can be like gold dust. In destinations like Turkey, prime slots disappear months in advance, particularly during spring and autumn when course conditions are perfect.

Booking early gives you first pick of the best tee times, helping you avoid those awkward mid-afternoon rounds or split-group bookings. It’s the easiest way to guarantee a smooth, enjoyable golfing schedule with your group.

If you're wondering how to get the best tee times, the answer is simple – be sure to plan ahead!

Another reason early booking pays off is access to the best rooms and resorts. Popular dates and upgraded rooms go quickly, especially in peak months. By planning ahead, you’ll have more freedom to choose the type of trip that suits you – from luxury all-inclusive escapes to multi-stop golf tours that take in several courses across a region.

Whether it’s the Algarve, Belek or the Scottish Highlands, the best time to book a golf holiday is before everyone else.

One of the key benefits of booking your golf holiday early is access to exclusive offers that aren’t available later in the season. In addition to headline rewards like a Callaway driver, a year's supply of Chrome Tour balls or up to £500 in Breakpoints, many of our early bird golf deals include even more added value.

Expect extras such as:

• More free places for groups
• Resort credit or bar discounts
• Complimentary room upgrades
• Free shared buggies or range balls

These offers vary by destination and travel date, but booking early gives you the best chance of locking them in. It’s a simple way to stretch your budget further and add extra perks to your break without spending more.

Booking ahead means less stress and more anticipation. You’ll have plenty of time to organise flights, arrange transfers, and coordinate your group. And with low deposits available, you can secure your trip without committing to the full amount up front. That gives you time to sort flights, fine-tune your group, and enjoy the countdown to your trip.

It also means more time to make any necessary changes, organise extras or plan transfers – another perk of early booking.

We’ve been helping golfers find their perfect breaks since 1998. Whether you're chasing iconic Open venues, looking to discover hidden gems abroad, or booking for a society or stag trip, our team knows exactly how to get it right, every time.

The earlier you book, the more benefits you unlock. From early bird golf deals to guaranteed tee times and top resorts, there’s no downside to planning ahead.
