Golf Travel Insurance-Is It Worth It?

Obviously if you are like most people, you likely have standard travel insurance. However, you have never considered golf specific coverage.

Golf travel insurance can be a great purchase if you play a lot of golf at different locations. Obviously it might not be necessary if you only go every now and then, but if you take many trips, it might be smart to invest in.

What does golf insurance cover? First, it reimburses you if something happens to your equipment. Obviously when bringing your clubs from place to place, there is the potential of them getting lost. For this reason, getting money in this instance for the value of the clubs will save you money.

Also, should you need to use rental clubs because your clubs were lost, it will pay for this as well. Rental sets can obviously be pricey, so this limits your risk some.

If you get injured on the course itself, it will cover these costs. Medical costs can obviously be very expensive, so this can save you a pile. To go along with this, it provides insurance in case you mistakenly hurt someone else on the course, and therefore you are not on the hook for their medical costs.

Finally, should you be unable to play because of circumstances that happen on the trip, and you already had a tee time that cannot be canceled, you are reimbursed for the costs of the round. This could be whether you fell ill, got injured somehow, the weather did not cooperate, etc.

Conclusion: golf travel insurance might be a smart investment if you play a lot around the world. It is not worth it if you take one trip every five years, but if you go regularly, look into it.
