Small groups
For a one-day GVB course from Nijmegen you currently drive to the Rotterdam region, where our course venues are: about 110 kilometres, roughly 1 hour 15 minutes via the A15. That is a fair distance, but it stays a single day: lessons start at 09:00, you take the exam late in the afternoon and drive back with your Dutch golf licence (GVB) in your pocket — rental clubs are ready for you. Playing golf afterwards is easy in your own region: Golfclub De Berendock sits 4 kilometres away near Wijchen, and Het Rijk van Nijmegen in Groesbeek, 6 kilometres out, is one of the largest golf complexes in the Netherlands, with 36 holes on the Groesbeek hills.

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.
What's next?
Done with your GVB? Here's how to keep building
