TRAVEL INSURANCE

It is the sole responsibility of the traveler to safeguard their travel investments. Women’s Golf & Travel recommends purchasing comprehensive travel insurance to protect against potential risks, including but not limited to trip interruption or cancellation, baggage loss, medical emergencies, accidents, evacuation, repatriation, or other losses, damages, injuries, delays, or inconveniences.

Travel insurance plans can provide coverage for non-refundable trip deposits and payments due to cancellations or interruptions caused by covered reasons, such as illness or injury before or during the trip. Additionally, travel insurance may reimburse medical expenses (including costly medical evacuations), missed connections, and lost or delayed baggage.

While the purchase of travel insurance is not mandatory, Women’s Golf & Travel requires a signed travel insurance waiver to be submitted prior to departure. By choosing to travel without adequate travel insurance coverage, you agree that Women’s Golf & Travel is not liable for any losses, damages, or expenses that could otherwise have been covered under a travel insurance policy.

We do not carry, and have no obligation to carry, insurance coverage to protect you. For your convenience, we offer Travelex Insurance Services, Inc (CA Agency License #0D10209) travel protection plans. For more information on the available plans, visit Travelex Insurance or contact 800-228-9792 and reference location number 23-0185.

WEATHER POLICY (PUBLIC & PRIVATE GROUPS)

Golf courses at international destinations generally remain open during inclement weather. Travelers are strongly encouraged to bring appropriate rain gear and prepare to play in a variety of weather conditions. Women’s Golf & Travel (WGT) does not provide refunds or issue rain checks for future play resulting from weather-related interruptions or cancellations.

For group public golf trips, WGT may attempt to arrange an alternative day of play based on the itinerary. However, such arrangements cannot be guaranteed. No refunds will be provided if a scheduled round of golf cannot be played due to weather or other circumstances beyond our control.

PRIVATE GROUPS: It is the group leader’s responsibility to inquire about the golf course policies regarding rain or inclement weather. You must contact the individual course directly to confirm whether the course is officially closed prior to playing.
