Costs

The cost of Hole-in-One insurance varies based on several factors, including the number of participants, the distance of the designated hole, and the value of the prize. For example, insuring a $5,000 prize might cost around $100 in premiums, depending on these variables. Contact your friendly Waypoint broker for a quote.
