Shipping Directly to a Golf Course or Pro Shop

Luggage Forward makes it simple to ship your golf clubs and luggage directly to the course where you will be playing. Whether you are headed to a renowned resort or a private club, we coordinate delivery so your equipment is waiting when you arrive.

Why Confirming the Delivery Location Matters

Golf courses and resorts vary widely in how they handle incoming shipments. Some have a dedicated receiving area at the pro shop, while others route packages through a main hotel lobby, a maintenance building, or a bag storage room near the first tee. Confirming the correct delivery point prevents delays and ensures your equipment is accessible when you are ready to play.

Before You Place Your Order

We recommend taking the following steps before booking your shipment:

1.    Contact the golf course or pro shop directly. Confirm that they accept luggage and equipment shipments from carriers such as FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Some private clubs require advance notice or membership verification.

2.    Ask for the shipping address they prefer. This may differ from the main address listed online. Many courses have a specific receiving dock, pro shop address, or resort shipping department.

3.    Confirm where shipments will be held. Ask whether your clubs will be stored in the bag room, pro shop, front desk, or another location, and what identification you may need to retrieve them.

4.    Provide the name of a contact person. When possible, include the name and phone number of a staff member who can receive the shipment. This is especially helpful at larger resorts.

5.    Note any delivery restrictions. Some venues do not accept deliveries on weekends or holidays, or they may have limited receiving hours. Confirm the days and times shipments can be accepted.

What to Include in Your Booking

When placing your order with Luggage Forward, please enter the following details in the delivery instructions field:

•       The full name of the golf course or resort

•       The confirmed shipping address (including any suite, building, or dock number)

•       The department or contact person who will receive the delivery (e.g., "Attention: Pro Shop" or "c/o Golf Services")

•       Your tee time or arrival date, so the course staff can plan accordingly

•       Any special instructions from the course (e.g., "Deliver to the loading dock behind the clubhouse")

After You Place Your Order

Once your shipment is booked, you will receive a confirmation email with tracking details. We recommend sharing your tracking number with the pro shop or receiving department so they can anticipate your delivery. If there are any changes to your travel plans or tee time, please contact our Client Experience team as soon as possible so we can adjust the delivery schedule.

Common Questions

What if the golf course does not accept shipments?

In rare cases, a course may not accept third-party deliveries. If this happens, consider shipping to your hotel or accommodation instead, and transporting your clubs to the course on arrival. Our Client Experience team can help identify the best alternative.

How far in advance should I ship?

We recommend scheduling delivery at least one to two business days before your tee time. This provides a comfortable buffer for any transit variability and gives the course staff time to receive and store your equipment.

Can I ship my return clubs from the golf course?

Yes. Many courses will arrange for your clubs to be available for carrier pickup. Confirm with the pro shop that they can facilitate a return shipment and provide them with the return shipping label included in your booking.
