The DGV Platzreife is a type of certificate or qualification awarded by the German Golf Association (DGV). It confirms that a person has acquired the basic skills and knowledge of the game of golf to play safely and responsibly on a golf course.
In order to obtain the DGV course license, certain requirements must usually be met, often set by golf clubs or golf instructors. These requirements usually include skills such as mastering basic golf swings, understanding golf rules and etiquette, and passing a theory and practical test.
The DGV course license is often the first step for beginners to be able to play officially on golf courses. It provides a basis for further training and enables golfers to move more safely and competently on the course.
