Locations to Play Footgolf in Melbourne and Regional Victoria
FootGolf is a sport played on a golf course in which a soccer ball is kicked into a series of large holes, the object being to complete the course using the fewest possible shots.
Learning to play FootGolf to enjoy a social game is very easy, making it a great sport to play with family and friends. FootGolf is a great activity for corporate events, birthday parties and days out.
There is also a competitive side where participants spend hours practising different shots and determining how to best read greens and fairways.
