Football meets golf, no clubs

Footgolf swaps the golf club for your foot. You kick a football along an outdoor course and aim for an oversized cup, counting your kicks like golf strokes. It rewards a decent kick and a bit of tactics rather than golf skill, which is why it works so well for mixed groups and competitive friends. As a rough guide footgolf tends to suit older children who can kick a ball a fair distance, alongside teens and adults; the venue's own description points at roughly 12s and up, so check if you're bringing younger children. Footballs are supplied, so there's no kit to bring. We don't have a confirmed hole count for this course, so check with the venue when you book.

Good to know before you go:

Footgolf and range venues like this run birthday parties and group bookings for families, stags and hens, and outdoor courses open seasonally with shorter hours in the colder months. Dates and prices change, so check the venue's own Facebook page for what's on.

About the course
