Course permission

One weekend. Then one week.

From Friday at 15 hrs to Sunday at half past seven to DGV course permission — and after that a deadline runs that is worth more than the course cost. This page shows both clocks.

How the course runs Dates 2026
01The weekend

Friday 15 hrs.
Sunday half past seven.

The compact course is the most booked way to course permission — and it takes exactly one weekend. The clock runs it off: three blocks of tuition, practice time and two nights in between, the examination at the end. Twelve and a half hours of tuition, 25 lessons, one certificate.

Friday

52.5 hours in total

  • Lessons12.5 hours
  • Practise and train16 hours · daily 08:00–20:00
  • Nighttwice

  1. Friday15:00–18:00

    Welcome and the first swing

    Equipment: which club for what. Then the stance and the basic swing — the movement everything else builds on.

  2. 15 hours in between · 3 hours of it practice time

    In between

    The practice facilities are open to you before and after the lessons — driving range, putting green and chipping area, at no extra cost. Practise if you like; you learn from watching too.

  3. Saturday09:00–13:00

    The long day

    The basic swing gets clean, and the other clubs come along. Technique work for the short game, sand shots and putting. In the afternoon the first tuition out on the course and the rules of golf.

  4. 25 hours in between · 13 hours of it practice time

    In between

    The practice facilities are open to you before and after the lessons — driving range, putting green and chipping area, at no extra cost. Practise if you like; you learn from watching too.

  5. Sunday14:00–19:30

    The examination

    Theory and practical examination under the guidelines of the German Golf Association. At the end the results are announced — and on passing, the DGV course permission certificate.

  • 52,5hours

  • 16hours

That is how the compact course runs. If you would like more time between the sessions, take “Relaxed” over six days; if you want to set the dates yourself, “Deluxe”. Both are further down.

Who teaches

“I deliberately do without
complicated technical terms.”

Daniela Hunger PGA professional · Frankengolfschule

The Frankengolfschule sits on the site at Gerhelm — the same address, its own business. Every course permission course runs through it. Before the course there is a talk about your aims and possibilities; teaching is easy on body and back, in small groups, with video analysis. The swing recordings come by email after the lesson.

  • Clear guidance instead of technical terms
  • Tuition that is easy on body and back — after a slipped disc, a cruciate ligament tear or a heart attack too
  • Video analysis: swing recordings come by email
  • A personal practice plan for the time between lessons
  • Lessons take the female anatomy into account

05Frequent questions

What beginners
want to know first.

The questions that really get asked at reception and at the golf school — with the golf school’s answers.

What is course permission and what do I need it for?

Course permission is the golfer’s “driving licence”. It certifies that you can move around the course briskly and in keeping with the rules of golf and etiquette. In Europe it is required in order to play on a golf course, as a visitor or as a member.

What is the difference between Platzerlaubnis and Platzreife?

None. Platzerlaubnis is simply another word for Platzreife.

Do I need equipment of my own?

No. Rental clubs to suit your height and sex can be booked for the duration of the course — 19 € for the compact course, 29 € for “Relaxed”. With “Deluxe” they are included in the price.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothing suited to the weather and the sport, and sturdy shoes. A polo shirt does the job nicely.

Do I have to have done a taster session first?

It would be nice, but it is not strictly necessary. As soon as you are signed up for a course permission course, the rules of golf materials and the digital test are sent to you.

What do I have to know and be able to do for the examination?

The examination has a theory part on the rules and etiquette — you do that digitally beforehand — and a practical part out on the course. Everything that is examined is part of the course; the examination fee is included in the price.

What happens after course permission?

With the certificate you may play — here and at most courses in Germany. After that there are further courses: the “course of 1000 tips and tricks” once a week and the target handicap courses as a way into the world of competitions.

Does joining the club cost a joining fee?

No. At Gerhelm there is deliberately no joining fee and no other barrier to getting started. A membership always runs 365 days — from your joining date to the same day the following year.
