18-Hole FootGolf
Given away by it's name, Footgolf is a relatively new sport in New Zealand combining these two great sports. Hukanui Golf Club introduced it to the Waikato in 2015.
FootGolf comes to the Waikato
Here is a quick introduction if you haven’t heard much about it, it’s pretty simple:
-
The game is played and scored the same way as golf except players use a standard football.
-
The ball is kicked rather than being struck with a club. Your leg & foot is a driver down to a putter, and everything in between.
-
The hole is a really a bucket to accommodate the football, measuring 21 inches wide.
-
Played on shorter holes as its harder to achieve the same distance as golf by kicking.
-
Unlike the golf course, the Footgolf course is an 18-hole course.
Getting started
Bring the family and friends along for some fun. If you can kick a football you’re good enough to play Footgolf.

The course is usually open for casual footgolf each day alongside golfers.
