GVB course for beginners
Get your GVB in Breda, in one day
Book a one-day GVB course with a PGA pro near Breda. Theory, practice and exam on the same day, no prior experience or own clubs needed.
From Breda you are surprisingly close to your one-day GVB course with Zalm Golf: our course venues are currently in the Rotterdam region (Hoeksche Waard), about 40 kilometres away — roughly a 35-minute drive via the A16, A17 and A29. Closer than most people expect. In a single day, from 09:00 to 17:00, you complete all lessons, take the exam and drive home with your Dutch golf licence (GVB); rental clubs are ready for you. Playing golf afterwards is easy around Breda: Golfpark De Turfvaert in Rijsbergen and Golfpark de Haenen in Teteringen are fifteen minutes away, and with Toxandria in Molenschot you even have a classic 1928 woodland course around the corner.

Right after your GVB
Sort your NGF registration in 5 minutes
The GVB is your access pass to Dutch courses, but you only really count in the golf system once you're NGF-registered. That gives you your official handicap, lets you enter competitions, and gets you a lower rate at most clubs.
You can submit the request right here. We process the registration through our NGF partner and you'll hear within a week whether it's confirmed.
