Frequently asked questions

No, we're completely flexible. You can arrange your arrival and departure around the flight times and prices that suit you best.

No, you arrange your own travel to our destinations.

Accommodation and golf are always included in our packages. With Longstay, a rental car is optional, whereas with Shortstay packages a rental car is always included. All prices are per person and are based on two people sharing accommodation.

Yes, we offer solutions for solo travellers at most destinations. If it's not listed on the website for the place you'd like to visit, we'll arrange something for you.

Submit an inquiry for each couple/family and let us know in the free text field which other guests you'd like to travel with and be accommodated near. We'll do our best to make this happen.

Check your insurance policies before departure, especially for Longstay trips. If your stay exceeds 45 days, additional travel insurance is advisable. Don't forget to bring your European health insurance card, which can be ordered from your national health insurance provider.

Airlines require golf bags to be pre-booked for transport. We recommend you book as early as possible. Please note: SAS has experienced issues with golf bag confirmations. Check carefully for both your outbound and return flights.

Certain municipalities in Algarve have introduced a tourist tax that is paid directly by you at check-in. The tax is usually €2 per person per night during high season (1 April – 31 October) and €1 per person per night during low season (1 November – 31 March), and is charged for a maximum of 7 nights per stay. The revenue is used to finance sustainability projects, improve local infrastructure, support emergency services and develop the tourist experience in the area. Please note that tourist tax regulations may change at short notice and even after you have booked your trip. It is a local charge that you pay directly upon arrival, and unfortunately it is not something we can cover. In summer 2025, 7 of 16 municipalities in Algarve have introduced this tax: Albufeira, Lagoa, Loulé, Portimão, Olhão, Faro and Vila Real de Santo António.

Start by submitting a non-binding inquiry via our website. Once we've confirmed your accommodation, we'll send you a quotation within 5 working days. The quotation can be adjusted if needed, for example with alternative golf packages or upgrades. It's helpful if you have provisional dates ready.

Once we've received your registration fee, we'll send you a booking confirmation by email. You'll then receive login details for the "My Trip" page, where you can enter your flight details and track your trip's progress. The final payment is due 60 days before arrival. You'll also gain access to our guest portal to book activities and tee times.

If you cancel more than 60 days before arrival, we'll refund your deposit minus a handling fee. If you cancel within 60 days, you'll receive a cancellation certificate to submit to your insurance company.

We hire out three-wheeled push buggies and a limited number of electric buggies. Please mention in your inquiry if you'd like to hire one, and we'll include the cost in your quote. Please note that electric buggies are not available in Murcia, Roquetas, Costa del Sol and the Cádiz area. Golf buggies can be hired directly from the golf club at all courses, but they cannot usually be pre-booked and availability cannot be guaranteed.

No, but we have block tee times in a portal for our guests at most golf courses. 60 days before arrival, you'll gain access to the portal and can book your first 10 rounds of golf from home. Once you're here, you can continue booking via the portal or directly with the golf courses.

To play at your booked tee time, you'll need vouchers from us. You'll receive these from your golf host when you arrive. We don't allow you to use any vouchers other than ours when you book tee times through us, in the guest portal or in any other way linked to us. You're also not permitted to use our vouchers after your stay with us is over, or to sell any leftover vouchers to friends who aren't travelling with us.

Yes, you can purchase additional vouchers from your golf host on site. You can also buy vouchers for other golf courses beyond those included in your package (though there are some exceptions).

As a guest with PT Golf, you can book both competition play and social rounds directly in our app. In each area, we typically arrange 1–3 competitions per week (somewhat fewer at smaller destinations and up to 3 at the larger ones, such as West Algarve).

From spring 2026 onwards, there will also be a change to what we call the 10-rule: previously, you could have 10 simultaneous bookings regardless of whether they were competitions or social rounds. Now the limit is a maximum of 5 competition entries within these 10 bookings.

The aim is to create a fair balance for all our guests, and we hope you'll find this change a positive one.

Golf courses that use Bermuda grass (also known as Bermuda grass) as their grass type undergo significant colour changes throughout the year. The beautiful green colour emerges in spring when temperatures are consistently warm enough day and night. In autumn and early spring, the course may be less green. This is completely normal for this grass type. During the months when the grass is dormant, the playing surfaces remain in excellent condition, despite their golden-brown colour.

Your rental car is included in your quotation, and you'll know exactly what it costs. The standard vehicle is a petrol-driven, manual "supermini" (for example, a Ford Fiesta or Renault Clio) – perfect for two golfers with their equipment. Contact us if you'd like to upgrade to automatic, diesel, or a larger vehicle type. Two drivers, unlimited mileage and traffic insurance are included. Damage waiver (SCDW) can be purchased from the rental car supplier. Please note that a supplementary charge for your rental car may apply in September and April, depending on your destination and rental car supplier.

There is no upper age limit – however, a daily fee applies when you hire a rental car from Málaga, which will be shown in your quotation. All rental car companies do have a minimum age requirement of 21 years, with at least one year's driving experience.

Yes, you're welcome to let us know your preferences – for example, sea views or a particular apartment. We'll do our best to accommodate these, but PT Golf cannot guarantee that all requests will be fulfilled.

Yes, but not all accommodation and golf courses allow dogs. Contact us and we'll help you find suitable options.

Yes, guests are welcome for a shorter period (up to 7 days) for an additional charge per guest per night. Please contact us to find out what applies to your specific accommodation.

We have our own team on site during the season. This is typically from early October to late November, and from early February to mid-April. You'll find more information under each destination. Our wonderful golf hosts arrange golf competitions, social golf, group dinners and socialising – and plenty of other fun activities!

Our season runs from 1 October, and from that date there is typically full activity at our destinations, with many guests, competitions and shared activities. The season runs through to 30 April, but it's worth knowing that the second half of April counts as low season. The pace is quieter then, fewer guests on site and a more limited range of organised activities. Golf is of course excellent to play, but this period is best suited to you if you enjoy being more independent and don't need competitions and social events.

During the shoulder season (mid-December to the end of January) we generally have no pre-booked tee times, no competitions and usually no golf hosts on site. You book your tee times directly with the golf courses. The courses are open though, and golf remains enjoyable.

PT Golf is a travel company specialising in long-stay golf trips. We help you with accommodation, a rental car and play at some of the 80 golf courses we work with in Spain and Portugal. Our aim is to make your stay both comfortable and memorable, so you can focus on enjoying the game and the relaxing surroundings.

The company was founded by Göran Westerlund and is run today by him and his son Christian Westerlund. Together they have created a concept that makes it easy for you as a golfer to stay abroad for an extended period and experience everything the golf destinations have to offer.
