Frequently asked questions

Golf holidays in Galway Bay Golf Course. The questions our golfers ask most.

Are flights included?

Our golf holidays are arranged ground-only — hotel, golf and transfers. You can add flights through us, and those flights are ATOL protected as part of your booking.

How do golf holidays with Golf Planet Holidays work?

Every trip is hand-built. Tell us your group, dates and the destinations you fancy, and we build a personal itinerary — hotel, golf and transfers — around them. There are no fixed packages to squeeze into; we shape the whole break to suit how your group likes to play.

How much does a golf holiday cost?

It depends on the destination, hotel, dates and how many rounds you want, so every quote is built individually. Many breaks start in the mid-hundreds per person; winter-sun and long-haul trips cost more. Get a free, no-obligation quote and we'll confirm your figure.

Are your golf holidays ATOL protected?

Our packages are arranged on a ground-only basis — hotel, golf and transfers. When you book flights through us, those flights are ATOL protected as part of your booking. Ground-only arrangements are not flight-inclusive, so are not sold under an ATOL.

When is the best time to go on a golf holiday?

It depends where you play: the Canaries, Mauritius and South Africa are winter-sun favourites, while Spain, Portugal and Turkey shine in spring and autumn. Tell us roughly when you want to travel and we'll match you to the destinations in best condition.

How do I get a tailored quote?

Use our enquiry form to send your group size, rough dates and any destinations or courses you have in mind. We'll reply with a free, no-obligation quote built around your trip. No call centre, no pressure — just a personal plan from our golf travel team.
