    • What Is SPEEDGOLF?

      Speedgolf is a fun, faster, fitness-oriented alternative to the traditional game.

      In Speedgolf, duration of play is assigned a score value: one minute is equal to one stroke. The goal is to produce the lowest combination of minutes and strokes.

      Speedgolf is enjoyed by people of all ages, golf skill levels, and fitness profiles.  (It's true! Check out these videos and images)
