In January 2024, the County Card Scheme moved into a new DIGITAL era.
WHAT IS THE COUNTY CARD SCHEME?
The Sussex County Card Scheme provides discounts on Green Fees for numerous clubs nationally and has been in operation for many years. Formerly, this was a subscription-based membership model where members would apply directly to the County and pay annually to renew their membership.
This scheme extends beyond Sussex, covering all surrounding counties as well!
This model has now been modernized and made fully inclusive for all members, irrespective of gender or age, with the introduction of the new County Card App.
