More than 150 UK golf clubs offer footgolf, the new sport that combines football and golf, even though it only came to the UK less than three years ago.

Golf clubs have to offer giant holes because the balls are footballs and not golf balls, but beyond that the UK FootGolf Association says there is minimal disruption to a venue.

“The sport which combines two of the UK’s most popular pastimes is now available in more than 160 golf courses across the UK, and shows no signs of relenting, with more than 200 certified courses predicted to be offering the sport by the summer of 2016,” said Gareth May, head of UK development at the UK FootGolf Association.

“Compared to golf, footgolf is far easier to play and with no player equipment needed, other than a football, it means that it is incredibly inclusive. Allowing mums and dads to play with the kids. Grandparents to play with grandchildren, truly anyone can play footgolf whether you are three years old or 93 years old.

“The setup cost from just £2,995 plus VAT, is small in comparison to the revenue returns available. Once setup, the footgolf course needs minimal maintenance and upkeep.
