GolfInItaly.org accepts no responsibility for visa requirements, and advises all travellers to ensure that the requisite documents are in place prior to travel.

 

Insurance

GolfInItaly.org strongly recommends you undertake a travel insurance.

 

Weather Conditions During Your Golf Holiday

Bad weather is unavoidable during the course of the year and as a result golf courses may either close or the golf course will operate temporary tees and greens at their sole discretion.. Golf courses reserve the right to close or operate temporary tee boxes / greens.

 

In the event of bad weather our “Bad Weather Policy” is as follows:

Prior to Arrival Date

Should you choose not to travel, subject to the policy of the hotel / golf course (our supplier’s) in these circumstances, we will try and postpone your golf holiday; however price supplements may be incurred depending on when your holiday is re-booked. No refunds are available under any circumstance for cancellations made due to golf course closure.

 

During your Golf Holiday

Golf played on temporary greens and tees is non-refundable and is considered to be an accepted part of playing golf during periods of bad weather. Please note that trolley and buggy bans occur frequently when a course is wet and are determined by those in charge of the golf course. GolfInItaly.org cannot be held responsible due to inclement weather conditions.

 

If you are unable to play golf on your break due to golf course closure we will, without guarantee and at our supplier’s discretion, try and obtain a green fee vouchers for the golf element of the break. Please note that we sell “Winter Holidays” (October – March) at a discounted rate. Any refund during the Winter Period will not be equivalent to the full green fee and with most winter holidays the golf element is considered complimentary.
Each hotel and golf course sets its own “Bad Weather Policy”. All decisions regarding green fee vouchers are solely at the discretion of the hotel and golf course and are final. We cannot be held responsible should inclement weather prevail.
