FAQs About Golf Travel Insurance

What is golf travel insurance?

Golf travel insurance provides benefits that help you when disruptions affect your golf trip. Coverage can include reimbursement for trip cancellations, support with eligible medical expenses abroad, or protection for lost, stolen, or delayed golf clubs. Many standard health plans, including Medicare, often do not cover care outside the U.S. With AXA, you also gain non-insurance assistance services such as coordinating medical transport or rebooking travel, so you can stay focused on the course instead of unexpected setbacks.

Does coverage include my golf clubs and equipment?

Yes. AXA's travel protection plans can reimburse you if your golf clubs or equipment are lost, stolen, damaged, or delayed in transit. This can be especially important if your checked bag doesn't arrive in time for a scheduled round or if damage occurs en route to a tournament. Depending on the travel insurance plan you choose, coverage amounts may vary, and documentation such as a baggage report may be required.

What if I miss a golf round or tournament due to a travel delay?

If a covered delay prevents you from arriving on time, AXA's travel protection can provide reimbursement through missed connection or trip interruption benefits. These can help with the costs of additional transportation and lodging so you can catch up to your group or tournament schedule. For example, if a delayed flight makes you miss your resort check-in and opening round, coverage may help pay for a new flight or extended stay to keep your trip on track.

Is medical treatment abroad included for golf travelers?

Yes. If you get injured on the course or fall ill while abroad, AXA's golf travel insurance benefits could cover eligible medical expenses. This shall apply to treatment at local clinics or hospitals, which is especially helpful in destinations where your U.S. based health plan or Medicare may not apply. In addition, AXA's travel protection plans include emergency medical evacuation benefits, which can arrange and cover transport to the nearest suitable facility or back home if needed.

What happens if bad weather cancels my round or changes my golf itinerary?

Weather can disrupt even the most carefully planned golf trips. If severe weather affects your travel, AXA's trip cancellation or interruption benefits may help reimburse prepaid, non-refundable costs such as resort stays or green fees. In more significant cases, such as extended delays or itinerary changes, your travel insurance plan can also help with added transportation or lodging expenses.

Can I get coverage for a golf trip if I have a pre-existing condition?

Yes. AXA offers a waiver of the pre-existing condition exclusion on certain plans, provided you meet the requirements. Typically, this means purchasing your travel insurance plan within a set number of days after your initial trip payment, insuring the full trip cost, and being medically able to travel at the time of purchase. If you qualify, eligible medical expenses related to your condition may be covered the same as any new illness. This helps ensure golfers with medical histories can still travel with confidence.

Does AXA offer Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage for golf trips?

Yes. AXA's Platinum Travel Protection Plan offers an optional Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) benefit at an additional cost. CFAR allows you to cancel your golf trip for reasons outside standard cancellation coverage and still receive partial reimbursement of prepaid, non-refundable expenses. To qualify, you must insure the full trip cost, purchase within the required timeframe, and meet all conditions listed in the plan. This flexibility is especially helpful for golf travelers who may need to change plans at the last minute, whether due to personal scheduling conflicts or shifting preferences.

Does AXA golf travel insurance cover international trips?

International golf travel often involves complex logistics, from long flights to multiple resort or tournament stops. AXA's golf travel insurance can help by covering eligible medical expenses abroad, providing support if your luggage or clubs are delayed in transit, and assisting with itinerary changes caused by weather or airline issues. For golfers heading to renowned destinations such as Scotland, Ireland, or the Caribbean, this coverage ensures support follows you worldwide.

Does travel insurance cover prepaid green fees or golf packages?

Yes. If you need to cancel your trip for a covered reason such as illness, injury, or severe weather, AXA's trip cancellation benefits may reimburse prepaid, non-refundable costs like green fees, resort golf packages, or tournament entry fees. Trip interruption benefits can also help if you have to cut your trip short after it has begun. This makes it easier to protect the value of your golf-specific plans.

Can AXA help if I lose travel documents while on a golf trip?

Yes. AXA's travel assistance services can support you if your passport or other essential documents are lost or stolen during your golf trip. This includes helping you connect with local authorities, arranging replacement documents, and assisting with changes to travel plans caused by the disruption. That way, you can return to focusing on your trip instead of administrative hurdles.

They share their story

"They made an awful experience so much easier! Coordinated travel to get off an island and back, paid for the Dr visit so I had no out of pocket expenses, and paid for a hotel for the night. I wish all insurance companies were this easy to work with! Plus the staff was friendly, caring, kind, and engaged. They were incredibly helpful and very prompt with their service."
