What is Getaway Golf and Leisure Travel Specialists?

Getaway Golf and Leisure Travel Specialists is an Australian golf-travel agency that builds golf holidays around accommodation and course access. Its site is organised around Stay & Play Packages, International Destinations and a "Choose Getaway Golf" section, with phone contact and a mailing list sign-up.

What it offers

• Stay-and-play packages: accommodation bundled with golf, such as the featured Oaks Port Douglas package combining a tropical resort stay with championship golf near Four Mile Beach.
• International golf packages: trips built around overseas courses.
• Group and escorted tours: useful if you want a fixed itinerary and shared logistics rather than a self-planned trip.
• Discount golf vouchers: green-fee or course vouchers sold separately from a full holiday.

Who it suits

Trade-offs to weigh

Packages trade flexibility for convenience: you get a curated combination, but you may have less say over individual components than if you booked a hotel and tee times yourself. Escorted tours suit people who prefer a set schedule; independent golfers may find them restrictive. Voucher savings are only worthwhile if the participating courses match where you actually want to play.

Next step: decide whether you want a full package, a group tour or just vouchers, then call the agency on the number listed on the site to ask which courses and dates are available for your destination. If you are comparing operators, Golf Australia is a useful reference for courses and the wider golf landscape.

How do I book a stay and play golf package through Getaway Golf?

Booking a stay-and-play package through Getaway Golf means choosing a destination and package, then contacting the specialist directly to confirm dates and pay. The site presents packages by destination — for example, an Oaks Port Douglas Stay & Play package combining resort accommodation with championship golf — and each package has a "VIEW MORE" link leading to fuller details before you enquire.

What to have ready before you contact them

• Your preferred destination and travel dates, plus a flexible alternative window.
• Number of golfers and non-golfers in your group.
• How many rounds you want and whether you need hire clubs or buggies.
• Whether you want flights, transfers and non-golf activities included or just accommodation and tee times.
• Your budget per person, so they can match you to the right tier of package.

How the process typically runs

1. Browse the Stay & Play Packages and International Destinations sections to shortlist options.
2. Open the individual package page to check what's included and the per-person starting price shown (the Port Douglas example is listed from $755 per person).
3. Call the listed phone number or use the site's enquiry route to confirm availability for your dates.
4. They confirm the itinerary and total cost, then you pay and receive your documentation and any golf vouchers.

A practical decision criterion

If your group is a four-ball wanting one resort and two or three rounds, a straightforward stay-and-play package is the simplest fit. If you're a larger group, a club trip, or you want several courses across a region, ask about their group and escorted tours instead — those handle logistics that individual packages don't. If you mainly want discounted green fees rather than accommodation, ask about their discount golf vouchers separately.

Next step

Before calling, write down your dates, group size and must-have courses, then check the package page for the destination you like and ring the number on the site. Ask explicitly what is and isn't included — transfers, breakfast, cart hire and non-golfer pricing are the items most often assumed rather than stated.

What international golf holiday destinations does Getaway Golf offer?

Getaway Golf’s site highlights international golf holiday destinations as a core category alongside its “Stay & Play” packages. The available page evidence confirms that international options exist, but does not list specific countries or resorts, so the destination names themselves are not visible in the supplied information.

For a practical next step, use the site’s international section as your starting point and compare destinations by:

• Travel time and flight routing from your home city
• Golf access, such as whether green fees and tee times are bundled
• Accommodation style, from resort stays to more independent arrangements
• Group size, since escorted or group tours can change the itinerary and pace
• Seasonality, especially if you want reliable playing conditions

If you are deciding between a packaged international trip and a self-planned one, a bundled “stay and play” style package usually suits golfers who want the course and hotel handled together, while independent travel suits those who prefer flexible dates and their own course choices.

You can browse the operator’s own site here: Getaway Golf and Leisure Travel Specialists.

How can I buy discount golf vouchers from Getaway Golf?

The site presents discount golf vouchers as one of its services, alongside stay-and-play packages, group tours and escorted golf holidays. Its own page evidence highlights package examples such as an Oaks Port Douglas Stay & Play offer, but it does not publish a voucher catalogue or checkout details. So the practical route is to contact the specialist directly rather than expect an online voucher store.

How to buy

1. Use the phone number shown in the site's description, 1300 187 255, and ask specifically for discount golf vouchers. This is the clearest purchase path given the information available.
2. Say what you need: which course or region, how many players, preferred dates, and whether you want vouchers alone or bundled with accommodation.
3. Ask for a quote in writing, including voucher validity, blackout dates, whether vouchers are transferable, and the refund or exchange position if plans change.
4. Compare the voucher price against booking the same round directly with the club, and against a stay-and-play package if you also need a room.

Who this suits

• Golfers who already know their destination and want to cut green-fee costs.
• Groups needing several vouchers at once, where a specialist can negotiate or coordinate.
• Travellers combining golf with a resort stay, since packages may offer better overall value than separate vouchers.

Trade-off to weigh

A specialist can access deals and handle arrangements, but you may wait for a manual quote instead of buying instantly. If your dates are fixed and soon, confirm availability before paying. If you are flexible, ask whether off-peak or midweek vouchers reduce the price further.

Next step

Call with your course list, group size and dates, and request both a voucher-only price and a package price for the same trip. That single comparison usually shows which option is cheaper for your situation.

What is included in a group or escorted golf tour?

A group or escorted golf tour bundles the golf, accommodation and logistics into one organised trip, so you are not booking tee times, transfers and rooms separately. Based on what Getaway Golf and Leisure Travel Specialists advertises, the format centres on stay-and-play packages, group tours and escorted tours, with the resort as your base and golf arranged around it. For example, the Oaks Port Douglas stay-and-play package combines resort accommodation with championship golf nearby — the kind of structure a group tour typically scales up to multiple courses and shared transport.

What that usually covers:

• Accommodation at a resort or hotel, often chosen for its proximity to the course.
• Golf arrangements — tee times and green fees at one or more courses, rather than you booking each round yourself.
• Transfers or group transport between the hotel and the course, which is the main reason groups choose an escorted format.
• A host or escort on escorted departures, handling day-to-day coordination so the group follows a set itinerary.
• Some meals or social events, depending on the specific tour.

What generally is not included: flights, travel insurance, caddies or carts unless stated, and personal spending. Extras vary by departure, so treat any inclusion list as specific to that tour rather than a company-wide standard.

A practical next step: if you are organising for a group, decide first whether you want a fixed escorted itinerary (less planning, set dates, shared transport) or a flexible stay-and-play package (you choose dates and courses, you handle local travel). Then ask for the per-person inclusion list in writing and check whether single supplements, non-golfer rates and cart hire are quoted separately. Getaway Golf and Leisure Travel Specialists takes enquiries by phone on 1300 187 255 and offers a Subscribe option for deals. For broader destination ideas before you commit, Golf Australia and Tourism Port Douglas Daintree are useful starting points.

How do I contact Getaway Golf to plan a golfing holiday?

Call Getaway Golf on 1300 187 255 to plan a golfing holiday. The phone number is the contact method shown on the site, and it suits the kind of trip this operator sells: stay-and-play packages, group and escorted tours, and discount golf vouchers.

Before you call, have these details ready so the conversation moves quickly:

• Dates and flexibility — preferred travel window, plus how many days you can shift either way.
• Group size and golfers — how many people are travelling, and how many will actually play.
• Destination preference — domestic or international; the site lists international destinations alongside Australian resort packages.
• Budget per person — useful because package pricing is quoted per person, as in the Oaks Port Douglas example shown on the site.
• Handicap or skill level — relevant for course selection and any escorted tour requirements.

A practical next step: if you are weighing a resort-style trip against a group tour, ask which format fits your dates. A couple wanting a relaxed tropical break with championship golf is a different booking from a club group needing coordinated tee times and transport. Mentioning your group type up front lets them match you to the right package rather than quoting something generic.

If you would rather browse first, the site also has a Subscribe option, which is a reasonable way to see current package offers before committing to a call. For broader destination research while you decide, official tourism bodies such as Tourism Australia can help you compare regions.
