Speedgolf International

Speedgolf Rules

Total score is determined by adding 18 hole golf score together with total time taken to complete round. Competitors in speedgolf run between shots. For example, a golf score of 82 and a running time of 53 minutes would be a total score of 135.

U.S.G.A. Rules of Golf apply with the following modifications:

Competitors may leave the flagstick in the cup when holing out.

Each competitor is solely responsible for the transportation of their clubs throughout the round. No power carts, pull carts, or caddies may be used. Four to six clubs in a junior style or "Sunday" bag are recommended.

If a competitor loses a ball during play, a ball shall be dropped as close as possible to the spot it most likely disappeared. The penalty for a lost ball is one shot.

Course Care: Repairing of ballmarks, replacing of divots, and raking of bunkers are the responsibility of the competitor. Failure to rake a bunker results in a penalty of two shots.

Playing Through: Occasionally, a competitor will need to play through a slower competitor ahead of them. The competitor who is passing has the right of way. A simple "fore" by the passing player lets the competitor ahead know that he/she must halt play momentarily while the faster competitor plays through.
