ALTERNATIVE GOLF
What is Urban Golf?
Urban golf began as an evolution of beach
golf in the small coastal town of Sawtell in
NSW Australia. In order to get to the beach
participants would have to pass through a
caravan park filled with grass and other to lob
over.
Before long the urban golfing had to the point
where players would golf everywhere they
went. The main aim being to, have fun and
pull off some good shots. Sometimes extreme.
These days Urban Golf has become an
international sport played in over 30 countries
and known as many names such as Street
Golf, Cross Golf and even Punk Golf.
“Too broke to pay for green fees? Too far
from a green? Tired of seeing golf courses
being carved out of pristine earth and
being watered by precious, fast depleting
resources? Or do you just want to have some
fun in the city with your friends? Urban golf
might be just the answer you’re looking for.
It’s a game of golf unrestricted by the usual
rules of golf,
and able to be played anywhere that there’s
free space and not too many people about.”
What does Urban Golf offer you?

Golf is one of the most popular sports on
the planet with millions of dollars spent on
products, innovation, marketing and sales.
Golf also attracts people from all walks of life,
both sexes and from every age group.
What Urban Golf does is to strip away a lot of
the things that scare people away from the
real game of golf such as green fees, dress
26
codes, scoring and the frustration which
inherently seems to come from a game of golf.
In current years as more and more people
survive in cities and bustling metropolis,
popular art and culture movements have
revolved around the street and creative
ways in which the people have been able to
reclaim their surroundings as an open space
and find freedom within the constrains of an
increasingly suppressive society.
What that leaves you with is a sport that can
be played virtually anywhere, and by anyone.
Be it a street, kitchen or on top of a skyscraper
with nothing else but a ball and your favourite
club. This makes it accessible and affordable
with Urban Golfers being know to source clubs
from almost anywhere such as; the local tip,
op shops, grandma’s shed or even the bottom
of the golf club’s dam.
