Footgolf Scotland: The Fastest Growing Sport You Need to Try

Scotland, the home of golf, has a new sporting sensation sweeping the nation – Footgolf. Combining the precision of golf with the skill and power of football, Footgolf is an exciting, accessible, and social sport that’s rapidly gaining popularity across the country.

What is Footgolf?

Footgolf is played like golf, but instead of using clubs and a small golf ball, players kick a standard size 5 football into oversized holes in as few shots as possible. Courses are designed with hazards, bunkers, and undulating fairways, just like traditional golf, but the sport itself is much easier to pick up and play.

It’s a game of skill, strategy, and technique – but most of all, it’s fun! Whether you’re a footballer, a golfer, or a total beginner, anyone can play and enjoy Footgolf.

Why is Footgolf Exploding in Scotland?

Scotland is already renowned for its passion for football and its deep golfing heritage. Footgolf merges the best of both worlds, making it the perfect sport for Scots looking for a fresh challenge. Here’s why Footgolf is becoming a must-try activity across the country:

✅ Easy to Learn – No prior experience is needed. If you can kick a ball, you can play Footgolf.

✅ Great for All Ages & Abilities – Whether you're 8 or 80, Footgolf is a sport for everyone.

✅ Perfect for Social Gatherings – Ideal for group outings, stag dos, birthdays, and corporate events.

✅ Affordable & Accessible – No expensive equipment or membership fees are required.

✅ Scotland’s Scenic Courses – Play against stunning backdrops, from rolling hills to coastal views.

The Rise of Competitive Footgolf in Scotland

While many enjoy Footgolf as a casual activity, Scotland has a thriving competitive scene. The Scottish Footgolf Tour features tournaments across the country, bringing together top players to battle it out for national titles.

Ayrshire Footgolf Club, for example, has dominated the Scottish club scene, winning multiple titles, including the Scottish Club League Cup and Tour Cup Championship. With Scotland’s best player, Michael, leading the charge and Captain John Grant steering the squad, the club has cemented itself as a force to be reckoned with in the sport.

If you’ve got a competitive streak, there’s never been a better time to get involved. Local clubs welcome new players of all levels, and with Footgolf’s rapid growth, Scotland could soon produce some of the world’s best players.

No matter where you are, there’s likely a course near you – and if you haven’t tried Footgolf yet, now’s the time!
