Golf Holidays that can help you develop your game

Golf courses are all different; in fact no two courses are alike with many differences and features setting each apart. The location of courses can be very different too; even the weather and climate of the course can come into effect which could really test a golfer’s skills. It is for this reason that many golfers choose to play golf on a wide range of courses to test their skills and face new challenges.

Apart from keeping golfers on their toes new courses can lead them to travel to some stunning locations such as Spain, America and even places like Dubai. There are golf courses almost anywhere you care to go in the world and so it is no surprise that many golfers will go on Golf holidays with likeminded players every now and then.

Golf holidays can be anything from a quick weekend or a full week away enjoying the (hopefully) pleasant weather and the sport that they enjoy. Courses abroad are often in much different surroundings than we may be used to back home. The difference in temperature and weather systems can mean that the ball travels differently both in the air and on the ground.

The main concern golfers may have is travelling with their clubs.It is well known that some baggage handlers are less than careful when handling luggage and so many golfers will have concerns about their clubs arriving in one piece. It is important that you buy a suitable flight case or heavy duty golf bag with a hard top to prevent your clubs bending or breaking in transit. Some golfers choose to hire a set of clubs at their destination but it is worth checking before you set off whether you will be able to rent clubs as some courses may insist you bring your own.

The added benefit of going on a golfing holiday is that you still get to enjoy the tourist sights and activities for the days when you are not out on the fairways. If time permits you may want to spend a day on the beach relaxing before the next big round the day after. One thing you may need to do with some prestigious courses is book your round in advance, this can be as much as many months for some popular courses, especially those that are scheduled to host major tournaments this year.

If you’re going to be playing golf abroad make sure you get golf travel insurance, golf insurance protects much more than your clubs. It also covers injuries and damage to property.
