Why choose Golf Travel Insurance?
Golf is a precision sport played on landscaped courses, where players aim to complete each hole using the fewest possible strokes. It is enjoyed worldwide as a recreational pastime and through organised amateur competitions, often forming part of a holiday or resort experience.
ActivitySure travel insurance can cover amateur golf when you are playing abroad, including casual rounds and organised non-professional play, provided participation meets the policy conditions. While golf is generally low impact, it still involves long periods outdoors, repetitive movement and varied terrain, which can increase the risk of strain, dehydration or minor injury during your trip.

Destination Insight
Where is popular to go golfing?
Golf has strong roots in Scotland, with historic courses such as St Andrews attracting visitors from around the world. Across Europe, destinations like Portugals Algarve and southern Spain are popular for their warm climate and well-established golf resorts.
Further afield, golf is widely enjoyed in countries such as Thailand and throughout the Caribbean, where year-round sunshine and scenic courses make it a popular addition to holiday itineraries. Many travellers combine sightseeing with pre-booked rounds at resort or championship courses.
Here's why golf travel insurance matters:
Although golf is not considered a high-risk sport, injuries can still occur through muscle strain, slips on wet ground or prolonged exposure to heat. Falling ill or getting injured abroad can lead to unexpected medical costs and disruption to your travel plans. Travel insurance helps protect you financially if treatment or support is needed.
Helpful travel tips
- Warm up your back, shoulders and legs before playing to reduce the risk of strain.
- Maintain a steady posture and controlled swing to avoid overextension injuries.
- Stay hydrated and take regular breaks, particularly in warm climates.
- Remain alert for stray balls on nearby fairways and always shout a warning if needed.
- Always follow course rules, organiser guidance and wear appropriate safety equipment where advised.
