Rules

1. Footgolf is an enjoyable family friendly game so please respect all players on the course. Please conduct yourself in the spirit and sportsmanship of our great game of golf.
2. Although there are no formal rules on what to wear, we are happy to see you in sporting attire and dressed for fun.
3. Use your scorecard and wait for your turn and try to make sure your kick does not interfere with others on the course.
4. The ball must be played in a single movement. Kick the ball rather than pushing it.
5. Wait until the ball comes to rest. Don’t stop the ball from rolling in the wind.
6. Kick your ball from a position up to two metres behind the markers. The order of play is established based on the score of the previous hole. The player with the best score will be the first to kick off on the next hole followed by the second and so on.
7. Play the ball from where it lands. Please do not move the ball. However, you can mark the spot and lift the ball if it obstructs the other player’s kick or ball in any way.
8. The player furthest from the hole, is the first to kick the ball.
9. If you are unfortunate enough to land your ball in water, retrieve or replace it within two steps from the closest land point from where the ball entered the water. Receive one penalty point. Alternatively, you can place the ball at the position of the previous kick and receive one penalty point.
10. Only on the greens may the ball be picked up or replaced. Regardless of the distance from the hole, the hole must be completed, so giving up the hole to your opponents is a no-no!
