What is Golf Travel insurance?
Golf travel insurance means you’ll be protected should the unexpected happen while you’re away.
Standard travel insurance policies may not provide the level of cover you would usually expect for a golfing holiday, meaning you’ll often have to fork out extra to add golf clubs onto your policy.
Travel insurance from elsewhere may also not provide Public Liability, Golf Equipment Hire, or Dental Treatment cover, which you may decide to opt for if you want the reassurance of comprehensive cover.
However, specialist golf travel insurance through Golf Care allows you to select the level of cover that best suits you.
What does Golf Travel insurance cover?
With Golf Care, golf travel insurance can cover your clubs, bags and accessories* against loss, theft, and damage when you travel. Cover is split into four levels according to your equipment value and the territories in which you want to be covered. The coverage breakdown is as follows:
-
Bronze Policy
Equipment cover up to £1,500
Public Liability up to £10m when playing in the UK, unless additional Worldwide cover is selected
-
Silver Policy
Equipment cover up to £2,000
Public Liability up to £10m when playing in the UK, unless additional Worldwide cover is selected
-
Gold Policy
Equipment cover up to £3,500
Public Liability up to £10m when playing anywhere in Europe Personal Accident cover up to £50,000
-
Platinum Policy
Public Liability up to £10m when playing anywhere in the world
Personal Accident cover up to £50,000
Regardless of which policy option you choose, we’ll replace your golf clubs on a ‘new-for-old’ basis if they were purchased new and are up to three years old, subject to satisfactory proof of ownership.
Items over three years old or not purchased new will be replaced on their indemnity value at the time of loss or damage.
Four packages to choose from
There are four golf insurance packages to choose from. These packages have different levels of equipment cover but include £10M Public Liability, New for Old golf clubs and equipment cover (up to 3 years old), and hole-in-one bar bill cover as standard.

Many regular travel insurers don’t provide the specific cover that golfers are looking for once they venture beyond their local course. But at Golf Care, we give you four cover levels to choose from.
As a regular golfer, your clubs and other golf equipment are your pride and joy, and we know you’ll probably want to take them with you on a golfing holiday, rather than hire equipment you’re not used to when you’re there.
Since your clubs and golfing accessories may cost a lot, you may want to protect them abroad with specialist golf travel insurance.
Suppose you decided not to take your clubs abroad with you. In that case, the last thing you want is to be wasting valuable playing time waiting for replacements—again, something which regular travel insurance rarely accounts for. That’s why through Golf Care, the cost of temporary equipment hire* is covered, to get you back out playing in no time.
While playing unfamiliar courses abroad is exciting, the unknown creates more opportunities for accidents. As such, golf travel insurance covers you for accidental damage to third-party property, injury to another person while playing golf, or personal injury on the course.

* Golf equipment includes your clubs, balls, bags, trolleys, carts, clothing, GPS devices and GPS watches, and other accessories purchased for playing golf.
The time for Europe or Worldwide cover is deemed to be from the time you leave your normal or temporary residence, place of work, or education (whichever is later) while travelling to your overseas destination or accommodation until returning to your normal or temporary residence, place of work or education after the golfing event or holiday (whichever the earlier).
** We will pay for equipment hire up to the limit stated in the insurance schedule, and the hired equipment must be comparable to the lost or damaged.
