Golf & Leisure Getaways Terms & Conditions
Cancellation Penalties
As payments for accommodation, flights, golf rounds, transfers etc, have been prepaid, cancellation fees may apply (up to 100%).
Cancellations must be advised in writing.
Tour Costings
Tour Costings are based on current exchange rates, airline schedules / fares, hotel / golf rates, taxes & service charges. Tour costings are subject to change should any of these conditions be affected.
COVID Cancellation Policy
With the current Covid situation, we understand that restrictions may be imposed that impacts on travel plans, which are out of the control of everyone involved. Combined with groups understandably being concerned about travelling with the level of covid cases currently.
If travel plans need to be cancelled, or requested by the group, we offer two options:
That we cancel your current golf getaway and re-book for a future date… where the destination has suitable availability and the timeframe is convenient to you and your fellow travellers. All monies paid to date by your group, will be carried across to this new booking.
Please note that the new bookings are subject to any price variance that the hotel, golf courses, airlines, etc, may pass on.
If the group are not comfortable with the first option, we are happy to discuss the option of a reimbursement of those funds that will be refunded back to Golf & Leisure Getaways.
However, this refund will be subject to the policies of the suppliers that we had to pay to date. e.g. most airlines & some accommodation venues, will not provide a refund, but a “credit” that can be carried forward for a specified period. In this case, any reimbursement Golf & Leisure Getaways agree to, would be less funds that cannot be retrieved from these suppliers. The credit provided by the supplier would be carried over to the group’s future booking & subject to their rebooking policies (e.g. some suppliers have time restrictions imposed)
The following administration fee’s will be applied to net refunds;
- Deposit refunds – $30.00 per person
- Full balance refunds – $60.00 per person
Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance is recommended to cover cancellation fees, loss of baggage, illness and injury etc. Travel insurance will not cover cancellation due to business or personal reasons. If you wish to take out a policy, please inform Golf & Leisure Getaways.

Travel Amendments
The information contained in the tour brochure is correct at the time of printing. However, changes may occur that are beyond the control of Golf & Leisure Getaways or their appointed agents or suppliers.
Changes may affect costings, itineraries, hotels, transfers etc and we will do all possible to maintain the tour schedule and standard or obtain suitable and comparable alternatives
Travel Extensions
Any amendments to flight and hotel bookings may incur additional charges. If you wish to extend or amend any travel arrangements, please note accordingly on the Booking Form and we will advise any additional costs.
Alternative flights e.g. departing from ports other than Sydney, early departure, business class airfares etc may require full payment on confirmation and you will be notified accordingly. If you wish to change your booking after reservations have been confirmed, a request must be made in writing.
If amendments are possible, a $50.00 minimum fee per change will apply in addition to change costs imposed by airlines and hotels.
