The object of the game is to get the ball from the tee into the hole in the fewest number of strokes.  A stroke is striking the ball with the club head or pitching the ball with the club scoop.  The winner has the fewest number of strokes for the 18 (or fewer) holes played in the round.

Play the course as you find it and play the ball as it lies.  Course rules and restrictions for pitching the ball are determined by the course terrain.  The senior member present settles disputes.

About Mountain Golf

What is Mountain Golf and how is it played?

The object of the game is to get the ball from the tee into the hole in the fewest number of strokes.  A stroke is striking the ball with the club head or pitching the ball with the club scoop.  The winner has the fewest number of strokes for the 18 (or fewer) holes played in the round.

Is Mountain Golf suitable for all ages and skill levels?

Absolutely! Mountain Golf was created with the idea of fostering family and friendships, making it a game that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of age or skill level. While it does involve some strategy and skill, the rules are simple enough for beginners to pick up quickly.

What equipment is needed to play Mountain Golf?

The equipment needed to play Mountain Golf includes a specialized club, ball, cup, flag, tee marker, and a club and ball rack. The unique Mountain Golf club features both a head for striking the ball and a scoop for pitching it, offering a diverse range of play options. The Mountain Golf ball is a proprietary 3 inch natural rubber design to handle the varied terrains found on Mountain Golf courses.

How does Mountain Golf differ from traditional golf?

While Mountain Golf shares the basic concept of golf – getting the ball from the tee to the hole in the fewest strokes possible – there are several key differences.

  • The Mountain Golf club has a scoop in addition to the head, which adds a unique strategic element to the game.
  • The courses themselves are designed to work with the natural terrain, creating a more diverse and interesting play environment than the groomed greens of traditional golf.
  • The course fits on your existing property.  Fairways can cross and holes can run around existing amenities.

Owning Your Own Course

What does the process of setting up a Mountain Golf course entail?

Setting up a Mountain Golf course starts with plotting the course on your terrain. Cups, flags and tee markers follow the layout.  The course design should take advantage of the natural terrain and incorporate unique challenges that make the game fun and engaging.  The course can be set up in a day or two.  You enhance it over time.

What type of terrain is ideal for a Mountain Golf course?

Mountain Golf thrives on diversity and variety, making it perfect for terrains that traditional golf courses will not fit. Undulating landscapes, rocky outcrops, hills, forests – these natural elements can all add unique challenges and beauty to a Mountain Golf course. The game embraces the natural topography of the land and transforms it into an exciting, outdoor game of skill.

Can a Mountain Golf course coexist with a traditional golf course or other sports facilities?

Absolutely! One of the greatest advantages of Mountain Golf is its adaptability. The game can be set up in areas not traditionally suitable for golf, such as rugged or hilly terrain. It can complement a traditional golf course by offering a unique alternative for players looking for a different kind of challenge. Similarly, it can share space with other outdoor sports facilities without causing disruption.
