The best way to experience great value golf across the UK has always been through GFS vouchers - and 2008 is no different.

Our half-price golf scheme hasn't changed since 1998. You can still choose to play half-price golf at over 700 UK courses, many of which are new to the scheme for this year.

The success of GFS is down to how easy it is to use. Golfers can buy the vouchers on the phone, the web or through Bunkered.

Coupons are dispatched quicker than you can say "Old Tom Morris" - no doubt he would have loved half-price golf! - meaning you and your pals can get on the golf course quicker than ever. This factfile is your guide to the scheme. It includes a full course listing and contact details for every course plus other essential information. Stick it in your golfbag, in your back pocket, in the car boot, anywhere, just don't lose it!

The scheme runs in association with BUNKERED magazine which is also used to actively promote Green Fee Savers and the clubs involved.

Golf In Scotland

With Green Fee Savers

Who would have thought that when bunkered magazine, Scotland’s best-selling golf title, decided to introduce half-price golf to the ‘Home of Golf’ in 1998 it would have become a success story of gigantic proportions? We certainly didn’t.

In theory, GFS should have been a way to play a little more golf at a slightly cheaper rate. In reality, however, it opened doors to golf courses many golfers had never has the opportunity to play. It bought more and more people into the game and gave those golfers who had fallen out of love with the game a new lease of life.

GFS was revolutionary and, today, the story is still making headlines with golfers everywhere. The GFS hotline isn’t called a ‘hotline’ for nothing, you know. It’s an invisible connection between keen golfers wanting their next batch of coupons and the GFS member courses in Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales.

GFS coupons fly out bunkered headquarters like there’s no tomorrow because everyone like a good deal. Coupons holders, for  a start, pay half the normal green fee.  Two for the price of one, or four for the price of two. For golfer, the scheme offers sensational value for money.

For clubs, the scheme helps fill empty tee-off times. Clubs get some additional cash at times they would otherwise be experiencing a lull. Also, clubs are able to decide when a GFS golfer is allowed to play the course. Club have and always will remain in complete authoritative control when it comes to GFS. Clubs are the lifeblood of the game in the ‘Home of Golf’ and GFS has made no secret of that fact.
