- Back to top
- Do I have to be a member of a golf club to take out a policy?
No.
- Back to top
- Do I need golf insurance?
Your household insurance does not always cover your sports equipment such as golf clubs; therefore it is important to have cover in place. Should your clubs get stolen or damaged, insurance will give you the peace of mind to enjoy your game and maybe secure that 'hole in one'.
- Back to top
- Do I really need public liability insurance to play golf?
1998 saw a High Court ruling resulting in golfers being potentially liable for shots that cause injury. Whether you're an amateur or pro you could still accidentally cause an accident. Could you afford to be sued should you cause damage to third party property or injure an individual with a stray golf ball?
- Back to top
- Do you cover electric golf trolleys?
Yes, although the policy doesn’t cover the batteries.
- Back to top
- Do you cover the golfing equipment abroad?
Our standard Birdie policy includes 60 days worldwide cover as standard, Eagle provides 90 days and Albatross 120 days. This cover allows you to go on your golfing holiday with your clubs without worry.
- Back to top
- I drive a hatchback. Is my golf equipment covered in my vehicle?
Your golf equipment will be protected from theft from the hatchback whilst left unattended. The clubs must be totally concealed under the parcel shelf or internal cover supplied by the manufacturers, and the vehicle must be fully locked.
- Back to top
- Is there anything that you don't cover on the golf insurance policy?
We are unable to cover balls, tees and golf buggies.
- Back to top
- What information do you need to take out a golf insurance policy?
We require a full break down of all golf equipment including makes, models and values. That way, if you ever need to claim the process will be much simpler.

Golf insurance: par for the course
A day on a golf course can be a wonderful way to spend your time: the fresh air, the smell of the newly cut grass and the opportunity to practice a sport that's both fun and demanding can provide a wonderful escape from the stresses of daily life. It's no wonder golf is one of the UK's most popular sports, with 1.7 million people regularly taking to the tees every year.
Whether you're a casual golfer or a professional, it's likely that you've spent a significant amount of money on equipment - and golfing insurance cover is an ideal way to protect it for theft, loss or accidental damage.
Additionally, further to a High Court ruling in 1998, golfers can be held liable for shots that cause injury, thus meaning that public liability golfing insurance is essential for anyone who partakes in the sport.
Here at E&L, we can't promise to improve your swing but we can help you enjoy the peace of mind that you and your equipment are adequately covered - and at a price that's affordable.
