Prepare a golf-specific brief
Set out the group size, preferred playing dates, accommodation requirements and transport needs before contacting a potential partner. Include any flexibility in the schedule. This gives the supplier a useful starting point for checking whether it can meet the request.
Confirm the playing arrangements
Ask who confirms tee times and what happens if the proposed course or time is unavailable. Record the answer alongside the package terms. That makes the golfing element explicit instead of leaving it hidden within a general holiday description.
