National County Card

The National County Card Scheme enables Members of Affiliated Clubs to play at other courses, both within CAGU and in all other English Counties with the exception of Suffolk, at reduced green fees.

Membership

All Men Members aged 18 and over on 1st January of Affiliated Clubs are automatically members of the scheme if their Club has agreed to act as a Host Club by offering reciprocal arrangements with all other Clubs that are members of the scheme. Members need to ask their home club for a card to be able to participate.

Women Members aged 18 and over on 1st January of Affiliated Clubs may join on-bloc if they have all contributed an annual cost of £3.00 per Woman Member. Alternatively, cards may be purchased annually by individual Women Members aged 18 and over on 1st January of Affiliated Clubs that have agreed to act as a Host Club at a cost of £15.00.

Participating Clubs

The County Card scheme now covers about 1300 clubs nationwide. The current list of participating Counties and clubs is maintained by the BB&O Golf Union (Berks, Bucks, Oxon) on behalf of all Counties. For the most up to date list of participating clubs and contact details please visit the County Card section of the BB&O website at:
