All passengers entering the USA from the UK now require a MRP (Machine Readable Passport). Certain countries require a pre- arranged entry visa; we accept no responsibility for visa requirements, and advise all travellers to ensure that the requisite documents are in place prior to travel. For more information consult the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

13.4 We strongly recommend that you purchase golf travel insurance. Some insurance companies may consider the game of golf as a dangerous sport and you should mention your participation when obtaining a quotation. You should also ensure that your golf equipment is covered in the policy.

13.5 If you have any special requests, you must advise us at the time of booking. Although we will endeavour to meet any such requests we regret we cannot guarantee to do so.

13.6 We cannot accept any responsibility in any ruling by the hotel/golf course if you or any of your group is unable to play due to inappropriate attire. Please check before you travel that your group is aware of appropriate golfing attire.

13.7 Knowledge of golf etiquette and the rules of golf are expected by all members of your group. Some golf courses will require handicap certificates before accepting visitors, which we will try to advise you of at the time of booking.

13.8 Please note that all “extras” such as food, drink, entertainment, spa treatments and transport consumed by you but not listed in your Booking must be paid for by you and your booking with Bonnie Wee Golf only includes the package set out in your confirmation email and invoice. We accept no liability for any charges you consume in relation to any extras outside of the items listed in your Booking.

13.9 Bonnie Wee Golf acts as an agent for each supplier of the services that make up your Tour. If you have a complaint or experience any problems during your Tour please inform the relevant supplier immediately during your Tour.

14.1.2 attributable to a third party unconnected with the provision of the Tour, and is unforeseeable or unavoidable; or

14.1.3 due to i) unusual and unforeseeable circumstances beyond our control, the consequences of which could not have been avoided even if we had exercised all due care; or ii) an event which we or the relevant supplier, even with all due care, could not foresee or forestall.

15. Failure to take action will not prevent future action

15.1 If we become entitled to take action under this Contract (e.g. to cancel because of non-payment) but do not immediately take that action, the fact that we have not taken the action immediately will not prevent us doing so later.

15.2 Any complaints relating to failure to perform or inadequate performance of the contract constituted by these Terms and Conditions and the Booking by us must be received by us within a reasonable time from your date of return from the Tour. Any assistance provided in resolving a complaint in relation to any supplier is provided on a goodwill basis and in our capacity as an agent. If you have a complaint concerning any Services we provide you must inform us immediately in writing within a reasonable time from your departure date. We regret we cannot accept any liability if we are not so notified. Our maximum liability to you if we are found to have been at fault in relation to any Service we provide is limited to the total cost of the Booking of which the Service forms part.
