FAQs

We have some examples of different itineraries on this website, but every trip needs to be perfect for the traveling group. We have initial fact-finding Zoom meeting or phone call. You will speak to a team member who will talk to you in detail about your needs to make sure we get a perfect brief for your trip. This will include understanding your budget so we can ensure we put together a trip that works for you.

We will then speak to hotels and golf courses and present you with a full itinerary. If you want to make any changes we will adjust accordingly before locking in your trip.

We can organise trips for small groups of four to much bigger parties of more than thirty people.

We will put together trips for you with three key elements - the golf courses, hotels and ground transport at the destination. We can also add other elements like daytrips on top.

The earlier the better! Demand for tee times at some of the big-name courses in the UK and Ireland has been so high in recent years that Summer tee times have been sold out over a year in advance. So speaking to us early is definitely the best idea. In an ideal world you would start the conversation in the Spring the year before you are looking to travel.

However if you want something sooner, don’t despair! We know which regions and courses have good availability and will be able to put together a great trip for you, even at short notice.

We will have a dedicated trip manager who will happily organise other excursions for you as well as dinner reservations for your group.

Guests book their own flights, we can advise on transit routes and timings. We will ensure you are met from your flight when it coincides with the beginning of your tour.

Most of our trips will require some driving. There are two options. You can take a self-driving trip and we will organise car hire for your group. This tends to work well for smaller groups.

For larger groups, we can organise a suitably-sized vehicle and driver. You may find this a good way to take some of the stress out of your trip and ensure you are fully focussed on enjoying the golf (and maybe a couple of drinks on the way!).

As part of the booking process we will ask you whether you would like to take a caddie for any of your rounds. We will then request them from the clubs and let you know if one is available. Generally the top clubs in Scotland and Ireland can provide caddies if booked well in advance but they are less common at smaller clubs.

We will advise on the cost of caddies in your final itinerary. You will be responsible for paying them directly at the course.

This depends on the location. In Spain and Portugal they are common place but in most UK courses there are only one or two available and a medical certificate will be required to rent them. We can discuss your needs as part of the planning process.

When we have agreed your trip you will be issued with a final itinerary, terms and conditions and payment details.

To confirm a booking, a non-refundable deposit of 30% of the total (subject to a minimum deposit of $1500 per person) will be required. Payment must be made within 10 days of the invoice from Outpost Overseas.

The balance of payment will be due 100 days prior to travel. Payment may be made by direct deposit or credit card. Payments with Credit Card (AMEX, MasterCard, VISA or Discover) will be subject to a 3% premium to cover transaction fees.

We strongly recommend that you take out insurance to cover your trip in case you be unable to travel or require assistance when abroad.

When we have agreed on your itinerary we will send you an online reservation form to complete, including payment details. Your trip details will only be confirmed when every participant has paid their deposit. Alternatively, the lead organiser can book and pay the deposit on behalf of the whole group.
