Design and Creation of a FootGolf Course
Being versatile, interchangeable adaptions can be made to existing golf courses to allow for access of FootGolf. However, a small investment could be made to design and create your own course, without having to alter, make adaptions to or spoil an existing golf course. Also, resulting in more profits as both courses can operate side by side.
Thrusting the football, the same distance as driving a golf ball is not possible, which is another valid reason why a specially designed FootGolf course is a better alternative than the use of an adapted golf course. Both options can be beneficial, depending on your needs as a customer.

Rules of FootGolf
The few rules of FootGolf make the game simple and easy to follow, adding to it’s already increasing popularity. Resembling golf in many ways, the idea of scoring is similar; the ball lands in a specially placed cup, which is 53.5cm, or 21 inches in diameter. The lowest amount of strikes on the ball increasing the chances of a win.
As opposed to regular golf, the ball needed to participate is a Number 5 regulation football and the club with which you strike the ball is removed and replaced by kicking with your own feet. Hence, the concept of football. Typically played over 9 or 18 holes, completed the course with the least amount of shots wins the game.
Playing the game of FootGolf
The equipment needed to play FootGolf is basic, yet best of all inexpensive. For example, including only: scoresheet, pencil, regulation number 5 football and of course, family and friends of any skill level.
Beginning the game takes place from the tee box on each hole and sees players kicking the ball nearer to the objective. Water hazards and bunkers are in site and prove challenging to bypass. Landing in a bunker or water will almost certainly add shots to your scorecard and therefore should be avoided at all costs.
Shorter yardage holes are not in place to make the game easier, they are more beneficial to ease of play as the game requires a similar amount of skill to golf. The average distance from tee off to the holes are averaged around 160 yards and pars tend to be set around 5 shots.
