Golf

Golf is fun with your family. With your business network. Or with your friends and acquaintances. And you can do it anywhere in the world. All your life. Since golf is not a sport that we see on TV every day just like soccer, not many people know what golf is all about. After reading this page, you will know all the ins and outs of golf and you will probably want to start (again)!

How does golf work?

Golf is played on a course, the golf course. That golf course consists of a number of smaller courses; holes. A hole has a beginning (tee) and an end (green). Unlike other sports, there are no two golf courses that are the same. That is why rules have been devised to ensure that golf courses can be compared with each other in terms of difficulty. This is important, because one of the nice things about golf is that players of every level can play with and against each other. That's because every golfer has a carefully calculated playing strength; the handicap. That handicap is based on the results of a player, which are recorded on a so-called scorecard. This scorecard can be sent digitally or on paper to the club, which in turn passes it on to the Royal Netherlands Golf Federation (NGF).

Based on the 'Learning to play golf with the NGF 9 step-by-step plan' we have defined the following steps that are relevant for a novice golfer. More than 15,000 golfers have successfully started playing golf using Golf4Holland.

Become a member of a golfclub

You must be a member of a golfclub affiliated with the NGF in order to receive an official NGF handicap pass. The club that provides this NGF pass for you is called your home club. You may be a member of as many golfclubs as you like, but you can only have one home club. The NGF Pass will be digital.

Super savings on greenfees on more than 160 golfcourses

Golf4Holland is a virtual or internet golf club affiliated with the NGF. This means that Golf4Holland does not have its own golf course.

For instance the 2for1 savings. This means that you play with 2 people for the price of one. At least one of the players must be a member of Golf4Holland.
