Public Liability
Our Public Liability insurance protects golfers up to 10 million for legal liabilities arising from injuries to others or damage to third-party property during play. This cover ensures financial protection against compensation claims, legal fees, and property damage costs. Designed for both casual and competitive golfers, it addresses risks inherent to the sport while maintaining affordability.
Equipment Cover
Equipment Cover safeguards against theft, loss, or damage of golf gear including clubs, bags, trolleys, and accessories up to specified limits. Policies include 'New-for-Old' replacements for items under three years old, with tiered coverage from 1,500 (Bronze) to 7,500 (Platinum). This ensures golfers can replace essential equipment without significant out-of-pocket costs.
Hole-in-One
Hole-in-One cover reimburses up to 200 for bar bills incurred when achieving an ace in recognized tournaments. This feature addresses traditional golf etiquette requiring celebratory rounds for fellow members. Claims require signed scorecards and receipts, providing straightforward financial support for this rare but socially significant event.
Personal Accident
Personal Accident insurance offers up to 50,000 compensation for severe injuries sustained while playing golf, including permanent disablement, limb loss, or sight impairment. Coverage includes dental treatment costs (up to 500) and hospitalization benefits. Age-adjusted limits ensure appropriate protection for golfers aged 1880, balancing risk and affordability.

Travel Insurance extends protection worldwide for golfers taking their equipment abroad. The Gold package includes European coverage, while Platinum offers global protection. This ensures uninterrupted coverage for tournaments or holidays, with provisions for equipment hire reimbursement and emergency medical assistance during international play.
