A golf voucher gift is one of the more straightforward presents for a golfer. You buy a voucher, the recipient chooses a course and a date, and they play. There is no guessing the right club or the right clothing size.
This guide covers everything you need to know before buying.
What is a golf voucher gift?
A golf voucher gift is a prepaid experience that entitles the recipient to play golf or take a lesson at a course of their choosing. The voucher is tied to a specific experience type, such as a one-hour lesson or an 18-hole round, and the recipient redeems it by selecting a location from over 2,000 golf courses across the UK.
There is no need to choose the venue when you buy. The recipient handles that when they are ready.
Types of golf voucher
Golf lesson vouchers pair the recipient with a PGA professional for a one-to-one session on the practice ground or course. Options include:
- Half-hour lesson — from £35
- One-hour lesson: £65
- Two-hour lesson: £130
- 9-hole playing lesson: £145
- 18-hole playing lesson: £250
Golf round vouchers give the recipient an 18-hole round at a course of their choice:
- Round for one: £80
- Round for two: £160
- Round for three: £240
- Round for four: £320
Which type should I buy?
For someone who has never played, a golf lesson voucher is the better starting point. A PGA professional works at whatever level the recipient is at, including complete beginners. They do not need their own clubs.
For a regular golfer, a golf round voucher at a course they have not played before is typically more interesting. The ability to choose from over 2,000 locations across the UK means there is always somewhere new to try.
For a golfer who wants to improve specific parts of their game, a playing lesson is worth considering. Playing 9 or 18 holes with a PGA professional on the actual course covers aspects that a range session cannot replicate: course management, decision making, and shot selection under real conditions.
How redemption works
After purchase, the recipient receives a voucher by email. When they are ready to use it, they contact Swyng to choose their preferred course. Swyng matches them with the available PGA professional or course in that area, and confirms the booking.
The whole process takes a few days. Vouchers are valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
How to send it as a gift
At checkout you can enter the recipient's email address and set a delivery date. The voucher arrives in their inbox on that date. If you want something physical to give in person, a posted gift pack is available.
What is the refund policy?
Full refunds are available within 30 days of purchase, provided the voucher has not been redeemed.
Can I use a golf voucher in Scotland?
Yes. Vouchers are redeemable at courses across Scotland, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Fife, Ayrshire, and the Highlands.
