Golf Shoes for Overseas Golf Course Foot wear needs to be considered when golfing overseas as most golf clubs only allow soft spike shoes. Most clubs sell them out there at quite competitive prices and can often have a better range to choose from than at home, depending on the time of year. Remember to check this before departing on your golf holiday as you may not be allowed to play with the wrong golf shoes.

It is also advisable to consider purchasing a golf transportation bag that will protect your golf clubs and golf bag.
