HALF PRICE GOLF at over 3000 courses around the world!

Golf Today offers the widest online range of outstanding discount green fee programmes which entitle two to play for the price of one at any participating golf course.

Aimed at the discerning golfer, GreenFree 2 for 1 golf vouchers give you a choice of around 750 of the finest courses for those who relish a demanding test or appreciate golf in beautiful surroundings.

Available GreenFree 2 for 1 golf venues include Turnberry, The Belfry, Celtic Manor, The Duke's Course at St Andrews, Forest of Arden, St. Mellion and Ring of Kerry, to name but a few. Each voucher costs just £2.95 but can save you up to £105.00 for a single round!

Meanwhile, courses that accept the broader-based
2-FORE!-1 vouchers can be found all over the country, and offer golf to suit every taste, handicap and budget. With almost 1000 courses to choose from, there will always be a half price golf course nearby, ranging from world famous venues to lesser known but welcoming local clubs, as well as 9-hole and par 3 courses and driving ranges.

Whatever your preference, links or parkland, private or public, 2-FORE!-1 vouchers will have a course at half price for you. Best of all, 2-FORE!-1 vouchers cost from only £2.50 each!

Open Fairways is a membership programme that allows you to choose from almost 1000 courses in the UK and Ireland, including over 200 prestigious venues, such as Addington Court, Fulford, the K Club, Royal Dornoch and Royal St David's, which belong to neither of the above two schemes. With one Membership Card, you can even take up to seven friends with you, who will all receive the same great green fee deal as you; the Card is also fully transferable, so you can lend it to friends, family and colleagues to play at no extra cost!

The Open Fairways membership also entitles you to great offers on holidays, lessons, golf insurance and equipment, as well as being valid at a further 850 courses throughout the world (see below), so you can take all your benefits with you on your overseas travels. And it's all included in our specially discounted yearly membership fee of just £59 - a saving of 33% on the regular price - exclusively for Golf Today readers!

If you're a subscription paying member of a Golf Club, there's a scheme especially and exclusively for you - the National County Card. Designed to reward golfers who support the infrastructure of golf through their membership of a club and participation in its activities, the Card currently has around 400 enrolled Clubs in the UK and Ireland, who offer substantial green fee discounts to members of the scheme. Discount levels will vary from Club to Club, but in many cases the National County Card (NCC) green fee will be similar to the member's guest rate, or at least lower than the rates available to non-Club members using other discount schemes, that is to say better than 50% off the published green fee!

Furthermore, there are many Clubs within the NCC scheme which accept none of the usual discount voucher schemes but who will happily welcome NCC Card holders and offer privileged rates (These UK and Ireland Clubs are marked with an asterisk on our full NCC venue listing). New clubs are joining the scheme every day and, in addition, over 600 Clubs in Europe and North America also welcome the Card (see below), so overseas golf can now cost you a great deal less as well.

Between them, these four schemes give you privileged access and huge savings at some 1500 golf courses throughout the UK and Ireland - that's about one in three of all the courses that exist - so you can be sure to find a great deal wherever you travel.

Aware of our readers' desire to seek out new golfing experiences - not to mention sunshine! - we are now able to propose more than 1500 overseas courses which offer green fee savings of up to 50% at some of the world's finest venues: the Golf National in France, Barsebäck in Sweden, Vilamoura in Portugal, La Manga in Spain, Mission Hills in China, St Andrews 2000 in Thailand, The Vines in Australia, Pinehurst No 2 in North Carolina, Sawgrass in Florida - these are just some of exciting courses you can visit and play at significantly discounted rates (including many clubs that offer two for one terms) with our programmes.

Just a hop across the Channel, we can now offer a limited number of 2-FORE!-1 courses in France, and we are adding regularly to the list of participating venues. The vouchers for France cost just £5 and can be ordered online in the same way as the regular UK and Ireland vouchers.

Golf O Max voucher books are the leading French golf discount scheme, entitling buyers to substantial reductions on green fees and sometimes other services (accomodation and meals, for example) at nearly half the golf courses in France, as well as selected destinations in Belgium, Luxemburg, Spain and Morocco. Each book costs just £39.00 and contains over 1000 detachable vouchers, with discounts ranging from 2-for-1 green fees to 50% off a single green fee, 3-for-2, 25% off, or fixed amount reductions on the advertised visitor green fee.

The Open Fairways Membership Card not only entitles members to special rates in the UK and Ireland, but also at more than 850 courses around the world. All part of your discounted membership fee of £59, you can just book and turn up at prestige venues in Scandinavia, through Europe, across Asia and all the way down to Australia and New Zealand, getting up to 50% off the published green fee rates. And you can travel with up to seven friends, who will all receive the same benefits as you! Or why not lend the Membership Card to family and friends - it's fully transferable and valid for twelve months, so get maximum value from your membership!

If you are a member of a recognised golf club (wherever it is in the world), you can enjoy National County Card benefits at more than 600 clubs in Continental Europe and North America. The Card currently has enrolled clubs in France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal and Spain, including famous venues such as all the Vilamoura courses on the Algarve, Sotogrande and La Manga in Spain and the Papillon Montgomerie course in Turkey. In North America, clubs can be found all across the USA (Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, North and South Carolina, Texas and Virginia), as well as in Canada, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. If you fancy trying your skills on the infamous island green par 3 17th at Sawgrass, you can do it with the Card!
