About this quiz
The real GVB (Handicap 54) rules exam in the Netherlands has 30 multiple-choice questions — 10 on etiquette, 19 on the rules, and 1 on Stableford scoring. You need 23 correct to pass, you get 60 minutes, and since 2024 it’s open-book in the free GOLF.NL app, so it’s about understanding, not memorising.
This little 10-question version gives you a feel for the style and the topics. Don’t worry about a perfect score — that’s what lessons are for. If you’d like a calm, friendly hand getting fully ready, have a look at what a GVB involves and my lesson prices .
