Short version
- One touch to start each hole, then play it as it lies.
- Ball must go into the hole to hole out — no picking up early.
- Lowest total touches after 9 or 18 holes wins.
- Hands stay off the ball, same as football — this is a boots-only sport.
Golf's rules. Your feet.
Futgolf is played on a real golf course, hole for hole, tee to green — nothing about the course changes. The only difference is the equipment: instead of a club and a golf ball, you play with your feet and a regulation-size football.
Every rule is exactly as golf intends it. Fewest touches wins, you play the ball as it lies, and par still means par. If you already know golf, you already know Futgolf.
Internationally the sport is known as FootGolf (or Foot Golf) — Futgolf is the same game under the name Juan Manuel Asensi Ripoll gave it when he brought it to Spain.
