Terms and Conditions

GolfEventStays.com is an independent accommodation marketplace operated by Digital Business Development, LLC. By using this website, submitting a property listing or contacting a property advertiser, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

Golf Event Stays allows homeowners and other accommodation providers to advertise properties that may be available during major golf events. We do not own, operate, maintain, physically supervise, inspect or rent the properties displayed on the website, and we are not a party to any accommodation agreement made between a homeowner and a guest.

Golf Event Stays currently offers two homeowner services. Under the Self-Managed Listing Service, the property is advertised on Golf Event Stays, the homeowner receives enquiries directly and handles all guest communication, price negotiation, the accommodation agreement and payments themselves. The Fully Managed, offered for each supported golf event, is an optional coordination service under which Golf Event Stays handles initial enquiries and booking coordination, communicates with prospective guests, may negotiate the proposed rental price and booking terms on the homeowner's behalf, provides and coordinates the short-term accommodation contract, and coordinates deposits and the payment schedule. All negotiated terms remain subject to homeowner approval. Under both services the accommodation agreement is between the homeowner and the guest, the homeowner approves the guest, rental value and final booking, guest deposits and rental payments are paid directly to the homeowner, and Golf Event Stays does not hold rental proceeds. Golf Event Stays does not act as a letting agent, escrow provider, tour operator or travel agent under either service.

The Fully Managed carries no upfront payment, activation fee or deposit. Where Golf Event Stays secures and confirms a booking, the Fully Managed fee is 15% of the final agreed accommodation rental value and is invoiced once the booking is confirmed. Where no booking is secured and confirmed, no fee is payable. The short-term accommodation contract provided under this service is prepared for the jurisdiction in which the property is located and remains an agreement between the homeowner and the guest. A booking is treated as secured and confirmed only after the homeowner has approved the guest, the final rental value has been agreed, the booking terms have been accepted, the accommodation agreement has been signed or formally accepted and the agreed initial deposit has been paid directly to the homeowner. An enquiry, provisional offer or unaccepted proposal does not constitute a confirmed booking. No booking is guaranteed. The homeowner remains responsible for the property, insurance, taxation and legal compliance, and retains final approval of the guest, rental value and booking.

Under the Fully Managed service, Golf Event Stays can coordinate optional transport and professional cleaning through independent third-party providers. These services are optional and are subject to supplier availability. Each supplier sets its own pricing and terms, which are confirmed separately with the guest or homeowner before anything is arranged. The 15% Fully Managed fee applies only to the final agreed accommodation rental value; transport and cleaning charges are not included in the 15% success-fee calculation, and are not combined with accommodation into a single bundled price. The guest pays the transport provider directly and the homeowner pays the cleaning provider directly. Golf Event Stays does not hold or process supplier payments, does not operate transport vehicles and does not perform cleaning work. Guest and homeowner contact details are shared with a supplier only with permission and only to the extent necessary to arrange the specific service requested. The accommodation agreement remains between the homeowner and guest.

Property details, descriptions, prices, availability and images are supplied by the relevant advertisers. Although we may review listings before publication, we cannot guarantee that all information or images provided to us are complete, current or entirely accurate. Guests should contact the advertiser directly for any additional details, photographs or confirmation they require before making a payment or entering into an accommodation agreement.

Property advertisers are responsible for ensuring that they have the legal authority to advertise and rent the property and that the information they provide is accurate. They are also responsible for complying with any relevant insurance, safety, tax, planning, licensing or short-term letting requirements that may apply to the property.

Any booking, rental arrangement, deposit, payment, cancellation agreement or security deposit is agreed directly between the property advertiser and the guest. Golf Event Stays does not normally collect accommodation payments or deposits and cannot accept responsibility for payments made directly between users. Guests should satisfy themselves that the property and advertiser are genuine, request a written rental agreement and use a secure and traceable payment method.

The listing fee paid by an advertiser covers the advertising and publication service provided by Golf Event Stays. It does not guarantee enquiries, bookings, rental income, search-engine placement or a particular level of exposure. Once work has commenced on a listing or the listing has been published, the fee will normally be non-refundable, except where a refund is required under applicable consumer law.

Travel times, distances, map locations and rental estimates displayed on the website are provided for general guidance only. Actual travel times and availability may be affected by traffic, event arrangements, road closures, weather and other circumstances outside our control.

Golf Event Stays is not responsible for disagreements, cancellations, property damage, personal injury, lost belongings, payment disputes or any other issue arising between an advertiser and a guest. We will not be liable for losses caused by inaccurate information supplied by an advertiser, the conduct of another user, the cancellation or postponement of an event, or circumstances reasonably outside our control. Nothing in these Terms excludes any liability or consumer right that cannot legally be excluded.

Golf Event Stays is not affiliated with, authorised by, sponsored by or officially connected with the Ryder Cup, The Open Championship, the U.S. Open, their organisers, governing bodies, venues or sponsors. Event names and trademarks are used only to identify the events for which accommodation may be advertised and remain the property of their respective owners.

We may edit, suspend or remove a listing where we believe that information is inaccurate, misleading, unlawful, inappropriate or in breach of these Terms. We may also restrict access to the website where necessary to protect users or the platform.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, subject to any mandatory consumer rights that may apply in another jurisdiction. Questions regarding these Terms may be sent to hello@golfeventstays.com.
