GVB course for beginners
Get your GVB in Enschede, in one day
Book a one-day GVB course with a PGA pro near Enschede. Theory, practice and exam on the same day, no prior experience or own clubs needed.
From Enschede, the nearest one-day GVB course from Zalm Golf is currently in the Rotterdam region: about 200 kilometres, roughly two hours by car via the A1 and A27. That is a serious drive for a single day, which is why the request form at the bottom of this page is the most practical route for most people in Twente: send a request and we will contact a golf pro near you and arrange everything — venue, date and exam. There is no shortage of courses around here: Golfclub Prinses Wilhelmina sits two kilometres from Enschede's centre and Het Rijk van Sybrook offers 27 holes in the Twente hedgerow landscape, with Golfclub Driene in Hengelo right next door. Still prefer to get your Dutch golf licence (GVB) done in one day — drive down in the morning, home in the evening with exam and certificate? The course day in the Rotterdam region remains bookable via the planning.

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.
