What is Footgolf?
For those who don’t know, FootGolf is played on a golf course, but instead of a golf ball, a football is kicked into custom-made larger holes. Like golf, the object of the game is to complete the course using the fewest possible shots. The course at Ashbury is now available to book for Footgolf at the following times:
- Monday to Friday | 2pm – 6pm
- Saturday | 7.30am – 6pm
Pricing
- FREE to Resort Residents
- Visitor Adult £10
