The game of golf is to use various clubs to hit balls into a series of holes across the golf course with as few strokes as possible. Usually, a golf course has a total of 18 holes, although it can be as small as nine holes, and players can expect varied terrains and course layouts to increase difficulty. Golf is won by the lowest number of strokes by an individual (stroke play) or the lowest score on the most individual holes in a complete round by an individual or team (match play).
For the seasoned golfer, golf equipment does not come cheap and the last thing a golfer wants on their trip is to worry about losing their golf clubs or losing out on non-refundable green fees – this is where golf travel insurance comes in handy. Although golf is classed as a low risk sport by most insurers, you will also want to be covered for any unfortunate injuries you may incur on your trip, so we would highly recommend insuring your golf holiday.
The country with the most golf courses in the world is the USA which is home to over 15,000 golf courses. Japan, Canada, England and Australia all have around 2,000 courses which, although still providing an array of options for your golf holiday, are no match for the USA.
Popular holiday destinations for a golf holiday include Algarve, known as one of the most popular golf holiday destinations in Europe, Portugal, Turkey and Tenerife.
