As a member of our Golf Club, if you have a handicap you will be able access the Derbyshire County Golf card. If you are a visitor in possession of a card you will be able to make use of it.
The Derbyshire County Card Scheme enables Members of Affiliated Clubs, to play at other courses in Derbyshire and throughout most of England, at reduced Green Fee rates – sometimes by as much as 50%.
The scheme mirrors those that have been adopted in most County Unions and provides benefits to Club Members, Clubs and the County Union. Unlike Commercial 2 for 1 schemes ALL the income generated by the County Union goes straight back into the game at grass roots level by giving all our juniors a greatly reduced affiliation fee and to assist with the cost of coaching all our junior squads at u12, u14, u16 and u18 level.
The Card may be used at the following affiliated Clubs in Derbyshire:
Alfreton Golf Club, Allestree Park Golf Club, Ashbourne Golf Club, Bakewell Golf Club, Brailsford Golf Course, Breadsall Priory Golf & Country Club, Broughton Heath Golf Club, Burton-on-Trent Golf Club Ltd, Buxton & High Peak Golf Club, Cavendish Golf Club, Chapel-en-le-Frith Golf Club Ltd, Chesterfield Golf Club Ltd, Derby Golf Club, Erewash Valley Golf Club, Glossop & District Golf Club, Hope Works Golf Club, Horsley Lodge Golf Club, Ilkeston Borough Golf Club, Kedleston Park Golf Club Ltd, Matlock Golf Club, Maywood Golf Club, Mickleover Golf Club Ltd, Ormonde Fields Golf Club, Pastures Golf Club, Shirland Golf Club, South Chesterfield Golf Club, Stanedge Golf Club, Tapton Park Golf Club.
