What is "FootGolf"? FootGolf is a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf. Instead of golf clubs and golf balls, the game is played on a unique course with a soccer ball that you kick into the 21-inch diameter cup!

If you can kick a ball, you can play FootGolf - 50% golf, 50% soccer, 100% FUN!
