How to Pack Golf Clubs for a Golf Resort Vacation at Casa de Campo®
Casa de Campo Resort & Villas is considered one of the best golf resorts in the Dominican Republic. With three golf courses rated among the best in the world and many professional championships happening throughout the year, golfers from all over love to come and play with their best gear.
But to ensure that your golf gear arrives in the best condition, you need to pack your golf clubs efficiently and decide how to send them to your final destination. Here we offer some tips to take into consideration to ensure an enjoyable travel experience.
Choose between shipping them or flying with them
When traveling to a golf destination such as Casa de Campo, there are two options to bring your golf equipment: ship them in advance or check them on your flight. Most airlines will accept golf bags as regular luggage—however, there is a slight risk of damage or loss if they’re not handled properly.
Shipping your clubs ensures better care, and it allows you to travel lighter. Our partner ShipSticks offers a very convenient door-to-door service with full insurance, personalized instructions, and guaranteed arrival times so that you can start playing in Casa de Campo as soon as you check in to your room or villa.
Prepare your clubs before packing
Here are some tips to ensure that your clubs arrive in the best conditions:
- Choose an appropriate travel bag to store your clubs. There are many soft and hard case options, depending on your needs.
- If possible, take off all removable heads with a special wrench and store them in their designated covers.
- Clean your clubs, weigh them, bundle them together, and use bubble wrap or your golf towels to cover them.
- Pack your rangefinder and other valuable smaller items in your carry-on.
- Use a TSA-approved lock to protect your belongings.
- Put a name tag on the bag with your up-to-date contact information.
