Footgolf
The "Desert Pines" footgolf course was built and added to the club’s sports activities in Easter 2017. This 9 hole course is a purpose-built footgolf course set between trees and bushes on undulating ground, creating a combination of a desert/forestall course. You can also play two rounds to get a full 18-holes, which some like to do. Some of the holes feature dual tee-boxes and most holes have alternate playing options.
This activity has proven to be a hit and continues to be occupied every day from morning to evening. It does not require previous experience and therefore is a fun option for all.

What is Footgolf?
Footgolf is comparable to mini-golf but on a much larger scale, the main difference being that you kick a football around instead of hitting a small golf ball with a golf club. The cup on the green is obviously larger than normal, so it can fit a football. The lengths of the holes on our course are between 35 - 95m and divided into par 3, par 4 and par 5 holes. You can play footgolf, like golf, in many variations of formats like singles, pairs, teams – like Stableford, Texas scramble, two-man better ball, etc.
What Do I Wear to Play Footgolf?
Despite some players choose to address this sport in “full-gear” (mostly for fun), you can play this game in your normal clothes. A good pair of trainers is recommended however, since you will be kicking a ball. Maybe not your latest D&G designer shoes!
You can bring your own football (size 5) should you want, but otherwise we have balls available for rent here.
Is Footgolf Family Friendly?
The great thing about footgolf is that EVERYONE can play it. Everybody can kick a ball! You can play together cross ages, sexes and levels. You do not need coaching/lessons to learn how to play – you can get right into it. It is also not weather sensitive - whether it is a warm and sunny Algarvian day or a day with a bit of rain – you can play! This game is a FUN game for all! A great game for the whole family, for golfers and footballers, or any type of group.
