Footgolf

Harvey Penick Golf Campus is excited to be the first and only facility in Austin to offer footgolf: a fun, fast-growing sports that combines the best elements of soccer and golf. Footgolf uses the basic rules and model of regular golf – with a tee box, bunkers, hazards and 18 holes of play. Players kick their balls along shorter holes towards 21-inch cup using the least amount of (foot)strokes possible. There is par for each hole, mimicking golf’s scorecard, and you still play as a twosome, threesome or foursome.

Our new 18-hole footgolf course opened in summer 2014 and is accredited by the American Footgolf League (AFGL) – the sport’s governing body in the U.S.. It is built within the 9-hole PGA-Tour public golf course at Harvey Penick Golf Campus and both tracks were designed to be able play both traditional golf and Footgolf simultaneously. The sport began in Europe in 2008 and primarily grew internationally until it came to the U.S. in 2011. Since then, over 190 courses  in 36 states have been registered by the AFGL – HPGC included!

Let The ATX Footgolf Movement Begin!

The Austin Aztex recently joined forces with Harvey Penick Golf Campus to spearhead the footgolf movement in Austin. 7.10.14 marked the course’s official “kick-off” with the media, the arrival of new course signage and the inception of Harvey Penick Footgolf Club (HPFC) – a new soccer-infused program to promote Footgolf at HPGC. HPFC now boasts a course record for adults and juniors, a Goal-In-One-Club and will soon include a supporter’s group, leagues, events and events of all different formats.

Follow HPGC on Facebook and on Twitter @HarveyPenickGC to join the movement and get involved!
