Whether it’s a quick weekend getaway or a 10 day golf adventure to the Caribbean, there is one thing in common with all golf trips and vacations… rip-offs are common.
Here are a few things to be careful of when booking your next golf trip.
1. As Well Cart Fee.
Many courses will require you to rent a cart, even though your package deal never mentioned it. Make sure you know up front if cart fees are included and required.
2. Course Surcharges
You may be offered to “upgrade” to a better course when you arrive at your destination. These is a common practice in many areas. The fact is that the course you “upgrade” to in many cases would not be any better than the course you are booked on.
3. Internet Deals
Many golf trips these days are sold by internet resellers. Price may be right and they have no idea of the local market. They are selling a commodity and could care less what other events are happening in the area or what local conditions are. Dealing with local people on the area you plan to visit will eliminate many of these surprises.
4. Does you need a package deal?
You would find that package deals sometimes will cost you more than just booking a hotel and a “golf” market and winging it. Once you book your accommodations, concierge or front desk will be able to direct you to the best deals. This works during the off peak times especially. So many people get involved in package deals that the prices can be increased by 50-75% over what it would cost you to book it yourself.
To save a ton of money, call the local area Better Business Bureau (all the offices are online at bbb.com) and ask for information on the local public courses. In addition just Google “Golf In, you will come up with a ton of options.
