How Long Does a Round of FootGolf Take?

One of FootGolf's biggest selling points over traditional golf is pace of play. Kicking a stationary ball is faster than a full golf swing and setup, and there's no time spent searching for clubs or reading complex lies.

Typical round times

• 18 holes, group of 3–4: roughly 2 to 2.5 hours
• 18 holes, single player or pair: as fast as 1.5 hours
• 9 holes, group of 3–4: roughly 60 to 90 minutes
• Busy weekend tee times: add 30–45 minutes for pace-of-play backups

What slows a round down

• Course difficulty — more hazards and longer par 4s/5s mean more kicks per hole
• Group size — foursomes naturally play slower than twosomes
• Skill level — beginners take more strokes and more time reading each shot
• Weather — wind changes ball flight and adds strategy time on longer holes

Tips to keep pace

1. Play "ready golf" — kick when it's safe, not strictly in honor order
2. Walk directly to your ball while others are still kicking
3. Pick up once you've clearly lost the hole in casual rounds
4. Let faster groups play through on a quiet course
