TRAVEL
PROTECTION PLAN - InterGolf Vacations recommends that you have luggage,
accident and trip cancellation insurance. It is important for your own
self-interest and protection that you make certain you have adequate coverage.
Check with your insurance company or travel agent. You may learn more about the
InterGolf Vacations Travel Protection Plan by visiting here. If
purchased within seven days of the initial deposit, this Protection Plan
includes a "Cancellation for Any Reason" waiver. The Travel
Protection Plan is only available to Citizens or Permanent Residents of the USA
or Canada.
NOTE: The “Cancel for Any Reason” waiver is only
available for travel to the British Isles (Scotland, England, Ireland, Northern
Ireland, Wales). It is NOT available or offered to other InterGolf Vacations
destinations.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Changes: After deposits
have been received and confirmation has been issued, any changes requested by
the client are subject to an administrative fee of $50.00 per change per person
in addition to any charges which may be made by suppliers for cancellations. In
most cases, changes cannot be made less than 60 days before
travel.
Handicap Certificate: Most courses require visitors to be
a member of a recognized golf club and to hold official handicaps, with some
courses imposing a maximum handicap restriction. InterGolf Vacations endorses
this viewpoint and recommends that players travel with a valid handicap
certificate from their golf club which they may be required to produce.
Golf Cart & Caddie Options: No caddies are available for hire
in Spain & Portugal. Golf Carts are available at all venues and we recommend
carts are booked in advance through your PerryGolf Golf Travel Specialist to
guarantee availability. All carts fees are payable locally at each course by
card or cash in local currency. If you prefer to walk, either with a pull cart
or carrying your own bag then this option exists at most courses but we strongly
recommend golf carts for certain courses, where the terrain is unsuitable,
and/or walks between tee and green are too extreme. We are happy to assist in
our recommendations for carts versus walking.
