Questions, answered
How does the course print work? +
Upload one clear photo of their course, pick one of five painting styles — oil, watercolour, charcoal, pop art or impressionist — and our engine repaints it. The preview is free (three a day) and carries a watermark. When you order, the artwork is re-rendered at full gallery resolution — no watermark — and printed.
What photo should I use? +
A clear, well-lit photo with the hole or view as the subject — tee boxes, greens and clubhouse views all work. A 12-megapixel phone photo comfortably covers A3 and usually A2. We measure your photo's pixels against each print size before you pay; below 150 dpi a print looks soft, so we don't sell it.
Will the printed artwork look like the preview? +
Yes — the final render uses the same style instructions as your preview, at much higher resolution. Small details may differ slightly because the artwork is regenerated, but the style and composition match the preview. If the artwork is clearly wrong, you get one free regeneration within 24 hours.
What sizes and formats can I order? +
Posters from A3 up, framed prints in black or oak, canvas, and gift formats like mugs and totes. Every price includes UK delivery.
How long does delivery take? +
Each gift is made to order in the UK: production takes 2–4 working days, then delivery 2–5 working days. Most UK orders arrive within a week. Ordering for Christmas or a birthday? Order a week and a half ahead to be safe.
What do you do with my uploaded photos? +
Uploads are used only to produce your preview and your print. Unpurchased uploads are deleted automatically after 30 days; previews after 2 days. We never use your photos for anything else.
Can I return a personalised gift? +
If your order arrives damaged or wrong, we reprint or refund — photos within 30 days to orders@thegolfgiftco.com. Because personalised items are made from your photo to your specification, the usual 14-day cancellation right doesn't apply once production starts (Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, reg 28(1)(b)) — but if the artwork is clearly wrong, you get one free regeneration within 24 hours.
