We Played A Round of Footgolf with a World Champion at Walt Disney World. Kids, tweens, teens, and adults will get a kick out of this precision sport that combines soccer with golf! Oh and apparently we “Seniors”. Apparently, 46 and up are considered seniors! That’s okay, it did not stop us from enjoying an outing to the beautiful Oaks course at Walt Disney World Golf.

Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course is proud to offer FootGolf, a sport that combines the patient precision of golf with the athletic coordination of soccer. Our 9-hole FootGolf course is certified by the American FootGolf League (AFGL), the governing body for the game in the United States.

We enjoyed playing with the United States Champion of FIFG FootGolf. With patience and exceptional skill, he guided us through the round. Explaining how to kick the soccer ball, how we score the game, and instructing us on what the game meant to him. We walked away, uninjured, a little sore from using muscles we haven’t used in a while, and with an appreciation for the simple game that we will now bring our families to for a day out.

If you have a Disney World Annual pass, you can add it on as park of the Water Parks and More option, and if you are coming down here for a family vacation we highly recommend a day off from the parks to enjoy the game of FootGolf.

For the very first time, Walt Disney World_® Golf operated by Arnold Palmer Golf Management is proud to offer the game of FootGolf to our guests at Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course. The 9-Hole FootGolf course is certified by the American FootGolf League (AFGL), the governing body for the sport of FootGolf in the United States. Tee times can be booked to play 9 holes of FootGolf either in front of or behind those playing 9 holes of traditional golf. When played in groups of four, 9 holes of FootGolf should take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, much like that of 9 holes of traditional golf.

Anyone can play as it requires minimal prior experience other than your ability to kick a soccer ball. It is a great way to get some fresh air and exercise, enjoy time together with colleagues or loved ones, and have some fun and friendly competition at the same time! As you walk the 9 holes you’ll be accompanied by a selection of Central Florida’s finest wildlife. Turkeys, Armadillos, Deer, Ospreys and Hawks will all surround you as our golf course is part of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program which works hard to provide a healthy balance between economic advancement while maintaining and restoring wildlife habitats where they can live and flourish.

What is FootGolf

FootGolf is a precision sport; a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf, but more closely related to golf.
Players kick a regulation #5 soccer ball at a golf course facility on shortened length holes with 21-inch diameter cups in as few shots as possible.
FootGolf rules are very similar to the rules of golf, and bunkers, hazards, and golf course characteristics help to improve the challenge of the game. FootGolf and golf can be played alongside each other on the same course and both types of play can exist harmoniously together.
Since the game is played on a golf course, the basic uniform of FootGolf is similar to traditional golf apparel, with sturdy indoor soccer shoes, or running shoes, being the most appropriate to help protect your feet from potential injury! Knee-length Argyle socks are customary, but not necessary, as is the use of a Flat Cap. Appropriate, non-offensive, golf, or athletic attire is also recommended; denim jeans or shorts are prohibited.
