Question 1

What is a Futures Canterbury Hub?

Accepted Answer

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 through a concession card system, with a growing community of young people and families along with regular learn and play sessions and events.

Question 2

What does membership include?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Where are the participating golf clubs?

Accepted Answer

The participating clubs in the North-East Hub are Bottle Lake Golf Club, Hagley Golf Club, Rangiora Golf Club, McLeans Island 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, Tai Tapu Golf Club and Templeton Golf Club.

Question 4

When can hub members play at the participating clubs?

Accepted Answer

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, within the concession card system.

Note- You will need to contact the club to make a booking in advance. If you wish to play at one of the clubs outside of their set off-peak times, you may have to pay a green fee as determined by the golf club.

Question 5

How does the concession card system work?

Accepted Answer

All new junior and youth members will receive a concession card in their membership pack, along with anyone renewing their membership.
The card is used to track rounds played at other hub clubs (apart from your selected associated club).
Each time you play at another club in your hub (North-East or Selwyn), a round will be marked off your card with a hole punch by the club's staff.
This makes it easy for you to see how many rounds you have left.

How It Works
Unlimited rounds at your selected associated club (chosen at registration), within the course access times they allow.
Up to 5 rounds at each of the other participating clubs in your hub.

Example:
If you join the North-East Hub and select Hagley as your home club, you can play there as often as you like under the course availability times. You’ll also get up to 5 rounds each at Bottle Lake, Rangiora, Waimairi Beach & McLeans Island.
