Cover designed for golf holidays

Golf travel often involves more than just flights and accommodation.

Whether you are travelling for a dedicated golf holiday, joining friends for a few rounds overseas, playing at a resort course or taking your own clubs with you, golf trips can involve expensive equipment, prepaid green fees and carefully planned tee times.

Golf optional cover is designed to help protect your golf equipment and prepaid golf costs while travelling.

Who it may suit

Travellers taking golf clubs or golf equipment overseas
Golfers booking prepaid green fees or golf packages
Travellers planning a resort or destination golf holiday
Golfers who may need replacement equipment hire if their gear is delayed

What Golf optional cover may include

Golf optional cover includes selected benefits for golf-related travel events.

Loss, theft or damage to your own or hired Golf Equipment
Golf Equipment Hire if your equipment is lost, stolen, damaged or delayed for more than 12 hours while travelling
Unused green or club fees if you have to cancel or curtail your trip for a covered reason
Selected golf-related benefits up to the limits shown in the PDS

Golf Equipment includes

Golf Equipment includes golf clubs, golf bags, golf trolleys, waterproof golf clothing, golf umbrellas and golf shoes used for practising and playing golf, whether owned or hired for the trip.

Golf optional cover includes benefits for Golf Equipment, Equipment Hire and Unused Green Fees, subject to the applicable limits, conditions and exclusions in the PDS.

Golf as an activity

Recreational golf is automatically included as a covered sport and leisure activity under the policy.

If you are only concerned about overseas medical expenses for an injury sustained while playing recreational golf, you may not need Golf optional cover for that purpose alone.

Golf optional cover is designed for the golf-specific benefits, including Golf Equipment, Equipment Hire and Unused Green Fees.

You are travelling with your own clubs or golf equipment
You have prepaid green fees or golf packages
You may need to hire replacement equipment if your gear is delayed
You want golf-specific cover shown on your Certificate of Insurance

Things to know before you travel

Golf optional cover is subject to the same conditions and exclusions as the Personal Property section of the policy, except where amended by the Golf section.

There is no cover for deliberate damage, gross misuse of Golf Equipment, damage sustained to Golf Equipment while in use, or loss, theft or damage while being carried on a vehicle roof rack.
