Yes, you can get specialist golf travel insurance which is good news for enthusiasts who will know only too well the difficulty of finding suitable cover for golfing holidays.
Standard travel insurance policies simply don’t cover the risks that you might encounter on a golfing holiday. Imagine if your golf equipment was lost by the airline or even worse stolen from your hotel room. Golf clubs don’t come cheap and a full set could easily cost £1,000 to replace.
There is also the risk that you might accidentally hit something or someone with a golf ball. If you cause serious damage or injury, you could be liable and the costs could be just as devastating!
Specialist golf travel insurance is designed to cover you against these risks and more. This means you can relax and enjoy what you like doing best on holiday…. playing golf!
