Changes or cancellation by you
Should you have to change or cancel your break for any reason, please inform Bonjour Golf in writing by email as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to accommodate any changes for an amendment fee of GBP 30 plus any further applicable costs, but any change is subject to availability and we give no guarantee of same. You can transfer your booking to another person, who satisfies all the conditions that apply to the booking, by giving us notice in writing at least 7 days before departure. Both you and the new traveller are responsible for paying any costs we incur in making the transfer.
Clients are reminded that a holiday booking is a legally binding contract. Cancellation charges apply as follows.
More than 72 plus days: loss of deposit
42 – 71 days: 50% of total booking value
22 – 41 days: 75% of total booking value
21 days or less: 100% of booking value
We strongly recommend you take out suitable travel insurance when placing a booking and that the cover starts from or near to the date of booking; it is your responsibility to ensure you are correctly covered. Please note that when cancellation falls within the terms of an insurance policy, the insurance company will normally refund the above charges to you on receipt of a valid claim.
For cancellations after the final balance has been paid, we can try to transfer the break to another date. However this is at the discretion of our hotel and golf course and travel partners and we give no guarantee of same.
Changes or cancellation by us
From time to time we may have to make changes to itineraries and reserve the right to do so. These can be minor or substantial changes. If the change is minor, we will ensure you are notified but will not compensate you; examples could be change of travel departure by less than 12 hours, change of accommodation or golf course to another in same region and of same standard. If the change is substantial and significantly alters the main characteristics of the travel services that make up your holiday, we will aim to provide you with the following:-
- Alternative arrangements of a similar nature, standard and price, if available
- Alternative arrangements of a higher standard with a supplement of the difference in price
- Alternative arrangements of a lower standard with a refund of the difference in price
- Cancel your booking with a full refund of all monies paid
We will not compensate you for changes caused by situations beyond our control such as force majeure, natural or nuclear disasters, war or threat of war, riot, civil strife, strikes, fire, adverse weather, technical problems with transport, closure of ports or airports, epidemics, sickness, terrorist or other security measures.
Your travel insurance may provide cover for any costs you incur in these circumstances.
Complaints
If you are unhappy with any service or facility provided, please inform the relevant contact at the time (e.g. accommodation provider, golf course or transport operator) to allow them to attempt to resolve the issue as soon as possible. As we act only as an agent for the golf clubs, chosen accommodation providers and transport operator, if you have a complaint or experience any problems during your break please inform the golf club or accommodation provider concerned immediately. When a complaint is specific to issues arising during your break, compensation is down to the golf club or accommodation provider. If a satisfactory conclusion is not reached please contact us by email within 14 days of your return and we will take up with the supplier.
Special requests
Any special requests must be made at the time of booking in writing. Whilst we try to meet any reasonable requests, we do not guarantee that they will be fulfilled. If we are able to confirm a special request, we will do so by confirmation in writing before your arrival date, confirming any supplements necessary.
Passport and visas
It’s extremely important that you obtain and check travel and immigration documents required for each member of your party. You alone are responsible for obtaining required travel documents for your party and we do not accept responsibility if you cannot ttravel or for any delay or travel problem which may occur in this regard.
Tee times
We will do everything possible to confirm your requested tee times, however hotels/golf courses do reserve the right to alter preferred tee times. If for any reason your tee times should not be available, as part of our service we will offer you the nearest possible alternative. We cannot be held responsible for slow play on the golf course.
Dress code, golf etiquette and behaviour, handicap certificates
Many golf courses enforce a dress code usually consisting of shirts with collars (rugby and football shirts are not permitted), tailored shorts or trousers with no denims. Appropriate dress must be worn at all times on the golf course and in the clubhouse. Some of the golf courses will require handicap certificates before accepting visitors; we will endeavour to advise you on any specific requirements at the time of booking. Whilst a certificate of playing ability is not essential on all courses, knowledge of etiquette and the rules of golf are expected and each venue reserves the right to refuse access if it is judged that individuals do not display the required knowledge, appropriate dress or behaviour. We cannot be held responsible in these circumstances.
Playing conditions and adverse weather
Whilst the courses at all of the clubs are all maintained to a high standard, playing conditions may vary from time to time due to essential works or adverse weather conditions. Trolley and buggy bans can occur; this decision is always made by the course on the day. If you are unable to play golf during your holiday due to course closure we will endeavour to obtain a refund or green fee voucher for the golf element of the break; any decisions regarding green fee refunds are at the discretion of the golf course and are final. We cannot be held responsible should inclement weather prevail, or for the condition of the course during your break.
Photography and testimonials
We’d like to publish photographs and testimonials from clients in any and all forms of media. Please let us know if you’d like to help us with this during or after your trip.
Privacy
We take your privacy seriously and will only use your personal data in accordance with the UK Data Protection Act 2018. Our privacy policy is available on request.
Limitations on our liability
We want you to enjoy your golf break and we’ll do our best to make the experience special for you and we are responsible for the delivery of the holiday as described. Nonetheless, we must make clear the limitations in law. If we fail to provide the service as outlined and to which these terms apply, we will pay you appropriate compensation. We are not liable if any failure is due to the following:- your own carelessness or negligence; any unforeseen injury or medical condition during or after your trip (all activities are undertaken at your own risk); changes we reasonably make to an itinerary or to accommodation or any other aspect of the management of your booking; any other unusual and unforeseeable event or circumstance beyond our control. We and you are subject to international conventions, when they apply. This may limit the amount of a claim you may make, against us or anyone else. The services and features included in your booking are those outlined in our messages and on our website. If you choose to buy other goods or services during your trip, those are not part of our service. Accordingly we are not liable to you for any happening in connection with that service or those goods.
