Level of Play
In the Netherlands there are three types of level of play:
- Baanpermissie (course permission): the local pro has determined that the player is good enough to go out on the local course (but only the local course).
- Golfvaardigheidsbewijs (GVB): the player has taken a test and is deemed good enough to obtain the GVB. The player can play on any course where GVB is the minimal requirement.
- Handicap: the player has taken the handicap exam and has played the required amount of holes with a score deemed eligible for a handicap. The player can now play any course for which the handicap is the minimum requirement.
Many club players skip the GVB part and go straight to the handicap exam.

—David Elkind (20th century)
