Re: Tee Times Golf Agency

Thanks for the advice. I did contact my credit card company, who were uninterested as they just complied with the payment request. They were not interested in the companies sharp practice. It seems all I can do is warn others(I will write to national press) to be careful if they are thinking of usin...

Tee Times Golf Agency

I booked 25 tee times through this agency in May. They quoted 1388 euro which I paid by credit card. When my c/c bill arrived I found that Tee Times had converted the payment into sterling at a rate which was beneficial to them. Has anyone else come across this practice and, other than not using the...

Squash

Hello Ian, I feel sure there are courts closer, but if unable to find any! It's a fairly long way to go for a game of squash but there are two courts at Burgau Sports Centre. Andy Robinson, the owner will usually fix you up with a game. The locals in Burgau enjoy competition and ability ranges from ...

Monarch flight charges

Two questions about my flights booked with Monarch, if anyone can give me the benefit of their advice. I would ask Monarch direct but fear they would charge a supplement just to answer! 1. I booked a party of golfers for a holiday in May. 9 fellas who I know very well. Now then, one of these blokes ...

New windows and doors.

We want replacement windows, shutters and doors, for our apartment.

Golf societies

I have just come back from Spain (Almeria) and seen the vast difference in the price of golf compared with courses on the Algarve. Courses are cheaper and as good but, the reduced price was brought about in the main to being able to join a society set up by people (mainly brits) living there. It cos...

Hello Rob, hope I am not to late with this. Take Swanny's advice and use a proper golf course. Vale De Milo needs to re-think, I think! At this time of year there are deals to be had. Parque Da Floresta (tough track) is not too expensive 49euro and if you have then they do a 2for one ie rack price 7...

Golf booking

Thanks Tom,
What a coincidence, I have made contact with Michele at Portugal Virtual, she has booked our golf and arranged to meet me at the airport. Even if something delays the flight or stops the meeting she will organise collection from my hotel. Great service!!
Cheers,

golf booking

I want to book golf at various courses. The on-line bookers which are clearly cheaper than booking direct with the golf course are good, up to the point of payment and delivery of vouchers. It seems I have to arrange bank transfers or make payment by credit card and incure a 5% charge, or it seems I...
