What is Footgolf?

Similar to golf, footgolfers trade in the clubs and golf balls for a size 5 football and football boots.

The golf course at Academia de Golfe de Lisboa is prepared to receive footgolfers, and has 9 footgolf holes.

How do I play?

A game of footgolf is played on a golf course, usually with both sports being played at the same time, and the rules are similar to the rules of golf. Each footgolf hole starts on a specific point, called a “Tee” and the goal is for each player to finish said hole in as few shots as possible. As with golf, officials are usually not needed, as the integrity of the game depends upon the honesty of the players. Because of this, all footgolfers behave in a polite and courteous way to their peers and the course itself.

What do I need

Shorts, knee high socks and a polo. The boots must have a rubber sole and not have spikes. You can also bring a hat. You must also bring a size 5 football and a coin/marker.

Important rules

On a footgolf course, it is strictly forbidden:

  • Smoking, drugs or alcohol
  • The use of abusive language, shouting or being loud
  • Playing with boots that have regular spikes (metal os otherwise)

The footballer is responsible for:

  • All damages done to the green
  • On the course, give way to golfers
