Golf remote membership
A remote golf membership is a type of golf membership in a real golf club . Many German golf clubs offer golfers with the so-called “Platzreife” or “ Platzerlaubnis” who live outside their catchment area (within a radius of approx. 200 km) the possibility of discounted long-distance membership (FM). If the golf club is a member of the German Golf Association (DGV) , you can obtain a DGV pass with the corresponding handicap management . The costs for an annual membership are around 140–600 EUR per year.
Golf clubs with only a small proportion of long-distance memberships (<10%) can participate in the voluntary labeling of the DGV ID cards. This then applies uniformly to all members of the club and is marked with an R in the ID. Many golf clubs raise a reduced green fee for guest player with silver or gold R R / VS-hologram (predominantly r EGIONAL member structure with v olles S pielrecht).
Often the term guest membership is used interchangeably with remote membership. A guest membership is often cheaper, however, since, in contrast to an FM, it is not possible to play a game without paying green fees at the golf club, which handles the handicap management.
