ClubstoHire.com – the business that provides travelling golfers with cutting-edge equipment rental – has further enhanced its European golf hub portfolio by announcing it is now taking advance bookings for its new store that will open in Gran Canaria on September 1.

The new outlet – the company’s fifth opening in little more than a year – will provide travellers to Gran Canaria with the latest golfing equipment – including the TaylorMade R11 and Wilson Di11 range.

Gran Canaria is one of Europe’s most popular golf destinations with eight courses and a warm year-round climate. The timing of the new store opening dovetails with the start of the island’s busy winter golf season.

As well as providing golf visitors with great rental sets at affordable rates, ClubstoHire.com negates the requirement to pay airline golf baggage charges of up to £80 and gives peace of mind that clubs won’t be lost or stolen in transit.

Tony Judge, a director of ClubstoHire.com, said: “Gran Canaria is a well-established golf destination for European travellers with some magnificent courses. Building on the success achieved so far at Faro, Malaga, Dublin and Edinburgh, we are looking forward to launching our unique concept to an even wider audience.”

The scheme is backed by Ryder Cup hero Paul McGinley, who is a director. All clubs are offered – left or right-handed, ladies and men’s – and hire is available from just one day to a full four weeks. And the service couldn’t be easier to use: simply order on-line ahead of travel and pick up the hire set at the destination airport.

Since the service’s launch last year, ClubstoHire.com customers have enjoyed a combined saving on airline charges of close to £500,000 and several more European golf destination hubs are in the planning.
