Semiahmoo joins FootGolf craze with a pair of courses

Semiahmoo Resort, Golf, & Spa has introduced FootGolf, one of the fastest growing recreational activities in the United States. FootGolf is played with a soccer ball on a golf course and is scored by utilizing the rules of stroke or match play in golf, as participants attempt to kick the ball from tee to green and into a 21 inch cup.

“FootGolf is a great opportunity for locals and guests to experience our award-winning golf courses in a fun and approachable way,” said Brett Eaton, PGA Director of Golf at Semiahmoo Golf & Country Club. “This activity is family friendly, good for team building, or simply a relaxed way to spend an evening outside while also learning the rules of golf.”

The FootGolf program will be available every Friday and Saturday evening this summer from 6 p.m. to dusk starting on Friday, June 6, 2014. The inaugural rounds will be played on the par 36, 1,124 yards of FootGolf at Loomis Trail Golf Club on even days of the week and on odd days at the par 36, 1,053 yards of FootGolf at Semiahmoo Golf & Country club; providing two unique opportunities and challenges for players.

The rate to play FootGolf at the Semiahmoo Resort, Golf & Spa courses will be $10 for nine holes ($8 for juniors) and $16 for 18 holes ($12 for juniors), as well a $3 soccer ball rental fee. Proper golf course attire and footwear is required. Please visit www.semiahmoo.com for more information.
