Knowledge of golf etiquette and the rules of golf are expected by all members of your group.
Most golf courses will require handicap certificates before accepting visitors; we cannot accept any responsibility for handicap certificate and golf etiquette problems.
Tee-Times
Golf courses reserve the right to alter confirmed tee times. If your confirmed golf club cancels your reservation or changes your tee time, we will try to find a suitable alternative. You will be charged or refunded for any difference in the original cost. Such changes do not entitle you to cancel a holiday that is part of a package.
Please also be aware that golf courses may pair you up with other golfers.
Condition of Golf Course
The condition of golf courses varies throughout the year. General golf course maintenance on tees, fairways and greens are an essential feature of golf course preparation. We cannot be held responsible for the impact of such work.
Hotel Concepts
Concept of the hotels can change depending on the season and or special conditions of the hotel. As an example, all restaurants can be open during the summer season, but only some selected ones could be open during winter months or hotel can close some facilities for some period because of maintenance.
Some services included one year can be excluded on another year’s concept or an additional fee as a supplement can be applied for another year etc.
Hotel concept changes decided by the hotel management and can be done without any prior information.
We advise you to check the details of the hotel concept. We cannot be held responsible for hotel concept changes.
Weather Conditions During Your Golf Holiday
Bad weather is unavoidable, and golf courses reserve the right to close or operate temporary tees greens. Golf played on temporary greens and tees is non-refundable and is considered to be an accepted part of playing golf during periods of bad weather.
Please note that trolley and buggies are not allowed frequently when a course is wet and are determined by those in charge of the golf course. If you are unable to play golf on your holiday due to golf course closure, we will, without guarantee and at golf course management’s discretion, try to find an alternative day to play during your stay or obtain green fee vouchers for the golf that part that not played.
All decisions regarding green fee vouchers are solely at the discretion of the golf course management. We cannot be held responsible due to weather conditions.
Special Requests and Medical Problems
If you have any special requests; you must inform us at the time of booking. Although we will inform the supplier, we cannot guarantee any request will be fulfilled and all special requests are subject to availability.
If you or any member of your party has any medical problem or disability that may affect your holiday, please tell us before you confirm your booking. In any event, you must give us full details in writing at the time of booking.
If the supplier is unable to properly accommodate the particular needs of the person concerned, we regret that we also cannot guarantee special requests that suppliers not confirmed.
Cancellations and Amendments by you
You may change the numbers of persons in your group booking, transfer your holiday to another person, or cancel your break at any time provided that the person who originally booked the break gives notification to us in writing. Because we incur costs in cancelling confirmed bookings, particularly if cancellations occur close to the departure date, you will be charged a cancellation fee. If you cancel your break or the number in your group booking reduces before the final balance is due, we will retain the deposit paid by (or due from if still outstanding) each person cancelling as a cancellation fee. If you cancel after the final balance is due you may be charged the outstanding balance as a cancellation fee depending on the venues cancellation policy applies to us. Please contact info@golfturkey.com in order to find out your hotel or golf courses specific cancellation policy.
All amendments are subject to availability, and we may not always be able to fulfil your request. We will normally agree to a transfer of your booking to another person if you are prevented from travelling by reason of an unavoidable event (such as illness, death of a close relative or jury service), provided we receive 14 days notice prior to the departure date. We may require satisfactory evidence before agreeing to the transfer.
In the event of any other amendments, you must pay in addition all costs incurred by us in making the amendment together with any costs or charges incurred or imposed by any of the hotel or suppliers concerned. In particular, if numbers change so that there is an odd number remaining in the party, single room supplements will apply.
No credits or refunds will be granted irrespective of whether or not the full package or services included are used.
Cancellations and Amendments by us
Occasionally, we have to make changes to, and correct errors in, our printed materials and on our website and other details both before and after bookings have been confirmed, as well as cancel confirmed bookings. Whilst we always endeavour to avoid changes and cancellations, we must reserve the right to do so. However, we will not cancel your Tour booking after the Balance Due Date, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance by the Balance Due Date. Most changes are minor, and we will advise you of them at the earliest possible date. Occasionally, we have to make a “significant change”, and we will tell you of any such change as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before departure.
If we make a significant change or cancel your break, we will offer you the choice of the following options:- (i) accepting the changed arrangements; or (ii) purchasing an alternative break from us. If alternative break more expensive than the original one you will pay the increase in cost if and if the alternative break is, in fact, cheaper than the original one, we will refund the price difference; or (iii) cancelling or accepting the cancellation in which case you will receive a full and quick refund of all monies you have paid to us.
