Better & cheaper
Friend and Friend DGV are the subscription models at Golf Lounge Hamburg for people who play golf in Hamburg regularly – deliberately positioned as an alternative to membership in a closed golf club. Instead of an annual fee with an admission procedure you get a transparent subscription that permanently reduces the prices for range bookings and rounds on the 9-hole course and 6-hole short course. For regular players this works out cheaper per visit than a classical model and is more flexible to cancel.
Golf club alternative in Hamburg – Friend vs. Friend DGV
Friend is aimed at people who play mainly at Golf Lounge itself: reduced prices on range, simulator, short course and 9-hole course, plus benefits in courses and coach lessons. Friend DGV additionally includes a DGV card, which allows play on external golf courses in Germany and abroad – so DGV membership Hamburg runs via Golf Lounge without joining a traditional club. A prepaid credit account can be added and used for bookings, coach lessons and hospitality – the credit works freely across range, simulator and restaurant.
Beginners should first take a taster course or the golf licence before subscribing; the subscription only becomes economically attractive once all the building blocks (range, short course, 9-hole, simulator) are used regularly.
What the subscription includes – and what it doesn't
All conditions (duration, discounts, credit, notice periods) are described on the Friend page; see also Prices, Terms and FAQ. Questions about the choice between Friend and Friend DGV: Contact. For a first visit before the subscription decision, a mat, a simulator session or a round on the 6-hole short course fit well.
