Swin golf

Swing golf is a simplified, entertaining version of classic golf – ideal for beginners, families, recreational athletes, individual players, groups, school classes and company outings. The sport originated in France and is perfect for anyone who wants to try golf without expensive equipment or complicated rules.

Not far from the SwinGolf site is the Mercator restaurant and terrace, where you can enjoy a snack or refreshment between rounds.

In groups of 6 or more, the rounds take considerably longer, which leads to waiting times.

With 3-5 players it remains sociable, but you don’t lose the overview.

Leisure tournaments are usually played with flights of 3 or 4 players – similar to golf.

• Only one club
  Instead of many special clubs, you use a universal club with three faces (for teeing off, approach and putting).
• Safe playing ball
  The ball is larger and softer than in golf – making it safer and more suitable for beginners or children.
• Compact courses
  The courses are between 50 and 300 metres long – this makes the game quicker and less physically demanding.
• Simple rules
  Similar to golf: the ball should hit the hole in as few strokes as possible. However, the rules are deliberately kept simple.
• Natural playing areas
  The game is usually played in open fields or meadows – without any traditional golf course infrastructure.
• Suitable for everyone
  Whether young or old, alone or in groups: swing golf is a sociable and easily accessible leisure sport.

• At the start, the ball is played from, or behind, a tee (=starting point of a lane).
• A shot with the aim of hitting the ball is deemed to have been played.
• On the course, the ball may be moved 15 cm without approaching the hole.
• If the ball lands out of bounds, the player must return the ball to the spot from which the last shot was played and charge 1 penalty point + the shot to be played. The same rule applies to a lost ball.
• If a ball on the green interferes with an opponent’s shot, it can be marked and taken away.
• If a ball on the green touches the opponent’s ball, 2 penalty points are charged.
• Only the putter side may be used on the green. All other sides are prohibited.
• An unplayable ball may be picked up and repositioned less than 2 club lengths from the landing point without approaching the hole (penalty = 1 stroke).
