ClubstoHire open up in America

ClubstoHire.com, Europe’s largest golf club rental operator, is extending its service to three of America’s most popular golfing destinations from next week.

Sets of the latest TaylorMade and Callaway golf clubs will be on offer to golfers flying into Orlando, Florida; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Las Vegas, Nevada from €80 per week.

After being pre-selected online, the clubs will be delivered to the customer’s hotel or resort on arrival and collected before departure.

The first location to open will be Orlando, which is the most-visited American destination (62 million visitors in 2014) and attracts many golfers from the UK and other parts of Europe, due to its strong flight connections and access to nearly 200 local courses.

This year, the Dublin-based company which was founded in 2010, will supply over 75,000 sets of golf clubs from 25 locations around the world.

“Seven million people fly into Orlando from Europe each year and a growing number are golfers,” said CEO Tony Judge. “There are also 25 million active golfers in the United States – five times the number in Europe – so we’re confident that our club rental offer will be well received in all three new locations.  

“Not only does the service offered by ClubstoHire.com save on potential airline excess luggage costs and the hassle of moving heavy golf travel bags to and from airport terminals, but it also provides golfers with the rare opportunity to trial the very latest clubs from the leading manufacturers.”

Locations currently being served by ClubstoHire.com are: Spain – Alicante, Costa Dorada, Girona, Grand Canaria, Malaga, Murcia, Palma (Majorca) & Tenerife; Portugal – Faro & Lisbon; Cyprus – Paphos; Morocco – Marrakesh; Turkey – Belek; South Africa – Cape Town; Thailand – Bangkok, Pattaya & Phuket; UK & Ireland – Cork, Dublin, Edinburgh & Isle of Man.
