FAQs

Practical answers about PT Golf packages, tee times, rental cars, longstay details, vouchers, insurance and booking your trip.

Do you have fixed arrival and departure days?

No. Arrival and departure are flexible, so you can choose dates that fit your preferred flights and travel costs.

Are flights included in your trips?

No. Guests arrange their own flights or travel to the destination.

What is included in the packages?

Accommodation and golf are always included in golf packages. Rental car is optional for longstay packages and included in shortstay packages. Prices are per person and based on two people sharing accommodation.

Can I travel alone?

Yes. PT Golf can arrange options for solo travellers at most destinations. If the website does not show a solo option for your chosen resort, contact us and we will look for a suitable solution.

Can I rent golf trolleys or golf carts through PT Golf?

Three-wheel push trolleys and a limited number of electric trolleys can be rented from PT Golf. Tell us in your enquiry if you want one included in the quote. Electric trolleys are not available in Murcia, Roquetas, Costa del Sol or the Cadiz area. Golf carts are rented directly from the golf clubs and usually cannot be pre-booked or guaranteed.

Do we get personal pre-booked tee times?

No. On most courses PT Golf has block times in the guest portal. Around 60 days before arrival you get access and can book your first rounds from home. Once on site, you continue booking through the portal or directly with the courses.

Can we request a specific apartment or location?

Yes. You are welcome to request things like sea view, a certain apartment or a preferred location. PT Golf will try to help where possible, but specific requests cannot be guaranteed.

How does rental car booking work?

When rental car is part of your trip, it is included in the quote so you know the exact cost. The standard car is normally a manual petrol car such as a Ford Fiesta or Renault Clio, suited to two golfers with equipment. Upgrades such as automatic, diesel or a larger car can be requested. Two drivers, unlimited mileage and traffic insurance are included. Extra excess protection can usually be bought from the rental supplier.

Is there an age limit for rental cars?

There is normally no upper age limit. In Malaga an extra daily fee can apply and will be shown in the quote. All suppliers have a minimum age of 21 and require at least one year of driving experience.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, but not every accommodation or golf course accepts dogs. Contact us and we will help you find suitable options.

Can friends or family stay with us during a longstay?

Yes. Guests are normally allowed for a shorter period, up to 7 days, with an extra cost per guest and night. Contact PT Golf for the rules at your specific accommodation.

We are several couples or families travelling together. What should we do?

Send one enquiry per couple or family and use the free-text field to tell us who you are travelling with and if you want to stay close to each other. We will do our best to arrange it.

When are golf hosts on site?

PT Golf has its own team on site during the main season, usually from early October to late November and from early February to mid-April. Hosts arrange competitions, social golf, dinners and other activities. Exact details are shown for each destination.

What happens outside the main season?

The season starts on October 1 and normally runs with many guests, competitions and social activities until April 30. The second half of April is quieter, with fewer guests and fewer organised activities. During mid-season, typically mid-December to late January, there are usually no pre-booked tee times, competitions or golf hosts, but the courses are open and golf is still enjoyable.

How do vouchers work?

To play on your booked tee time you need PT Golf vouchers, which you receive from the golf host after arrival. Only PT Golf vouchers may be used for times booked through PT Golf or the guest portal. Vouchers cannot be used after your stay or sold to others who are not travelling with you.

Can I buy extra vouchers if I want to play more?

Yes. Extra vouchers can usually be bought from the golf host on site. You can also buy vouchers for courses outside your package, although a few exceptions may apply.

Are there competitions during the stay?

Guests can book both competition rounds and social golf in the PT Golf app. Most areas arrange 1-3 competitions per week, depending on the destination size. From spring 2026, guests can have a maximum of 5 competition starts within the 10 active bookings rule.

How do I book a trip?

Start by sending a non-binding enquiry through the website. Once the accommodation is confirmed, PT Golf sends a quote within 5 working days. The quote can be adjusted with other golf packages or upgrades if needed, and it helps if you already have approximate dates.

We have accepted the quote. What happens next?

After the deposit is received, PT Golf sends a booking confirmation by email. You then receive login details for My Trip, where you can add flight information and follow the booking status. The balance is paid 60 days before arrival, and you also receive access to the guest portal for activities and tee times.

Can I cancel, and what does it cost?

If you cancel more than 60 days before arrival, the deposit is refunded minus an administration fee. For later cancellations, PT Golf provides a cancellation certificate for your insurance company.

Why can some Bermuda grass courses look less green?

Courses with Bermuda grass naturally change colour during the year. The strong green colour returns when temperatures are high enough day and night. In autumn and early spring the grass can look yellow-brown, but the playing surfaces are still normally in very good condition.

What should I know about travel insurance?

Check your insurance before departure, especially for longstay trips. If your stay is longer than 45 days, extra travel insurance may be wise. EU travellers should also bring a European Health Insurance Card where applicable.

Do I need to book my golf bag with the airline?

Yes. Airlines require golf bags to be pre-booked. PT Golf recommends arranging this as early as possible and checking both outbound and return confirmations carefully.

Is there a tourist tax?

Some Algarve municipalities charge a tourist tax directly at check-in. The amount and rules can change at short notice and may vary by season and municipality. This is a local guest cost and is not covered by PT Golf.

Who is PT Golf?
