Booking Guidelines
Golf Vouchers:
Please note all vouchers sent will bear Your Golf Travel branding
Golf Course Rules:
Golf clubs and resorts reserve the right to refuse players onto the course and green fees will not be refunded for the following reasons:
- No Shows; it is the responsibility
of the player to be on the tee ready to play at the time specified.
Failure to do so may result in course officials refusing to let
players onto the course, they are under no obligation to allocate
a new starting time or refund the green fee.
- Failure to present a valid
booking voucher. The voucher sent to you is proof of your booking.
Failure to present a valid voucher makes it difficult for courses
to confirm that you have a booking and are not obliged to let
you play.
- Failure to present a valid
handicap certificate when requested; many courses do set a maximum
handicap limit for those players permitted to use the course and
will require players to provide proof that they meet these standards
before allowing players to tee off.
- Golfers being unacceptably
dressed. Most courses have dress codes that they will enforce
and players deemed to be unsuitably dressed will not be permitted
to play. Dress codes tend to be consistent from one course to
the next however if you have any doubt it is worth clarifying
with the course management before your arrival. Tailored shorts
and collared shirts are the accepted "summer" standard.
Long socks are not necessary. Golf shoes are essential and most
courses require players to wear soft spikes on their shoes. These
courses also offer a service, with a small charge, to change your
spikes. Our advice, change your spikes before your golfing holiday.
- Golfers being considered unfit
to play. Courses reserve the right to refuse players onto the
golf course if they are considered to be a danger to themselves
or others, likely to cause offence or disturbance to others using
the course or behave in a manner unacceptable to the management
of the course.
- Golfers may be required to
leave the course during play by the course management due to improper
behaviour, or if the course management regards a player’s
behaviour or performance is not conducive to the well being of
the facilities or others using the course.

Selecting and Booking Tee Times:
When choosing which courses to
play it is important to ensure that all members of the party have
handicaps that meet the requirements of the courses selected.
Details of the maximum handicap acceptable to each course are
highlighted with the prices for each course where restrictions
apply.
Start times on the day of arrival
or departure are problematic due to possible delays or changes
in flight times. Any tee times booked by the golfer for these
days is done so entirely at the players own risk. Courses are
under no obligation to re arrange tee times or refund green fees
if changes to flight schedules result in golfers being unable
to start at the confirmed tee time.
When selecting tee times it is
important to remember that courses will open for play at around
7:30 depending upon the time of year and some will offer start
times from the first tee and the tenth tee. Split tee starts are
becoming increasingly more popular as it allows courses to get
more players on to the course each day but it also means that
start times will only be available early in the morning and late
morning through the early afternoon. At courses that use split
tee starts the most requested starting times around 10:00 am usually
will not exist. The times available for selection on this web
site reflect these restrictions where they occur.
Courses usually make up all flights
to 4 balls. This can lead to a situation where you have to play
with players that are not in your party. Singles will usually
be required to join flights that have spaces and are not normally
permitted to play on their own during peak times.
Course closures do happen even
in peak season for various reasons. The information available
on this site aims to be as up to date a possible as regards the
availability of courses and we endeavour to provide clients with
as much information about course closures as we can to ensure
we can fulfil the requests of our clients more often than not.

Booking Confirmation and Payments:
We only confirm the start time for the first flight; the other flights will start at consecutive times.
Once we have received confirmation
of available tee times from the courses we will forward this information
on to you. Please bear in mind that courses do try to offer the
nearest possible tee time to that requested so rejecting times
offered in the hope of improving the time available does not tend
to work.
Tee times will only be considered
to be booked once we have received your acceptance of the time
allocated by the course and we have passed this acceptance back
to them. Until you have confirmed your acceptance of the tee times
offered the courses reserve the right to offer the time to other
clients. It is therefore in your best interest to advise us of
your intentions as soon as possible.
Some courses process bookings
as much as 12 months in advance of the date of the round, while
others only confirm times about 3 months prior to play. This is also the case for single golfers,
as at most golf courses single golfers are booked into the flight
gaps as late as possible.
We have a limited time to accept
start times on your behalf and therefore need your confirmation
that the times are acceptable:
- Within 7 days for start times received 12 weeks or more in
advance
- Within 3 days for start times received 5 to 12 weeks in advance
- The next day for start times received less than 5 weeks in
advance.
Payment for the rounds booked
will only be charged at the time you confirm your acceptance of
the times offered by the courses and this acceptance is passed
back to the courses.
Once payment has been received,
we will send your golf vouchers for the rounds booked. It is important
that you keep these safe as they are to be handed to the course
on the day of your round as proof of your booking. Failure to
present a valid voucher is likely to result in the course refusing
access to the course.

Cancellations and Refunds:
You can change, cancel or reduce
golf bookings with us.
We strongly recommend that you
check that your travel insurance covers golf abroad. Should the
tee time be cancelled by the course owing to unavoidable circumstances
such as severe weather, it is normal practice for courses to issue
a voucher to play at another time. In the event that the players
cannot use this during their stay, we will again supply information
for insurance purposes if requested.
In the case of inclement weather
that causes the closure of the course, each golf course sets its own “Bad Weather Policy”. All decisions regarding green fee vouchers are solely at the discretion of the golf course and are final. We cannot be held responsible should inclement weather prevail. Any vouchers issued at the Company’s discretion can be used for future bookings with Tee Times Anywhere.
We will do everything possible
to help clients however it is always easier to resolve problems
in resort that after the holiday has been completed. If you require
help our Resort staff are available to assist you and can be contacted
at the following email address: sales@teetimesanywhere.com.
