Our top golf travel tips

We’ve also included our top tips for a hassle-free experience when flying for a golf holiday:

• Get a non-stop flight if you can: Any transfer means your clubs have to be taken off of a plane and put on another one. This gives more chance of them getting lost, damaged, or incurring an extra cost (some airlines charge per flight rather than per direction – keep an eye out for the phrasing!)
• Get to check-in early: Usually golf clubs are considered oversized luggage, so if you get sent to the oversized luggage desk you don’t want it to put you in a rush. Be punctual for peace of mind!
• Make your bag stand out: This doesn’t need to be anything too jazzy, but make sure it looks a bit distinctive – write your name on it somewhere, hang a keyring off of it, just something to identify it quickly and easily as yours.
• Get a sturdy case: It’s unlikely to happen, but opening your golf bag when you get to the hotel and finding several clubs snapped in half would be a grim start to your holiday. A hard case comes highly recommended
• Check your clubs are insured: If the above does happen, you don’t want to be stung on the cost of replacing them!
• Make sure your clubs don’t rattle around too much: Adding something to pad out the bag a bit reduces the risk of damage, and makes your bag less noisy / conspicuous.
