About FootGolf
FootGolf was created by combining the two
sports of football and golf.
The rules for the most part, though
simplified, generally follow the rules of golf. The course
layouts and playing challenges are also similar to those found
in golf.
The game of FootGolf is rapidly expanding
across the globe with courses now in over 36 countries.
The game is
played the same way as golf, except player’s use a football instead of a golf
ball and the ball is kicked rather than struck with a club, working towards a
21-inch “cup” in place of the usual golf hole. The player who plays the 9 or 18
holes with the fewest shots wins. Footgolf as sport is generally played on golf
courses, though it also can be played on other grassed areas or specially built
footgolf courses. The first shot has to be played from the tee box, and to
reach the hole, bunkers, trees, water and hills have to be crossed or avoided.
This means a powerful shot is useful, but not decisive. Reading the course, a
smart approach and accurate putting are even more important.
How To Play..
Please wear golf shoes or regular sports
shoes. NO soccer boots with studs or cleats are allowed.
Appropriate attire, follow the dress regulations of the course where you will be playing. We prefer collared polo shirts, long socks and a flat cap. But it's not compulsory!
Bring along a size 5 football (or you can rent one at the course)
That’s it, what are you waiting for?
