FAQ

Futures Canterbury has two hubs in Canterbury providing regular and affordable opportunities for young people and families to learn and play golf in a positive and fun environment. When you join a Futures Canterbury Hub, you get access to play at a collective of golf clubs with a growing community of young people and families along with regular learn and play sessions and events.

As well as access to play at the participating clubs within the hub that you select, junior members will also receive an introductory welcome pack, an official Golf NZ membership number and handicap, subsidised learn & play sessions and coaching programmes, and events, and the opportunity to play junior interclub for a nominated club within a hub.

The participating clubs in the North-East Hub are Bottle Lake Golf Club, Hagley Golf Club, Rangiora Golf Club, and Waimairi Beach Golf Club. The participating clubs in the Selwyn Hub are Charteris Bay, Ellesmere Golf Club, Greendale Golf Club, Hororata, Lincoln Golf Club, McLeans Island Golf Club, Tai Tapu Golf Club and Templeton Golf Club.

Being a member of the hub gives you access to play at all of the participating clubs in the hub you have joined (i.e. at either North-East clubs or Selwyn clubs, not both) during off-peak times outside of weekly club competitions.

Yes, we offer a membership for parents/guardians of current junior members of a hub. The parent/guardian membership includes off-peak playing rights at the participating hub courses when playing with a young person who is a current junior member of the North-East or Selwyn Hub. The annual membership fee is $250. Please note the parent/guardian membership does not include an Golf NZ membership number. To encourage family participation, this membership is transferable between parents allowing one parent at any time to play with their child/children. If you would both like to play with your child/children at the same time, two parent/guardian memberships would be required.
