What Is Cross Golf and Why Is It a Great Choice?
Cross golf is a lively outdoor game that takes traditional golf and reimagines it across a park landscape. Instead of hitting balls on a manicured course, players use lightweight, special balls and real golf clubs to aim at creatively designed targets scattered throughout the park. The idea is to enjoy nature, exercise, and social fun while challenging your precision and teamwork.
This activity ticks multiple boxes: it’s casual enough for newcomers, competitive enough for those who love a challenge, and flexible enough for groups of different sizes. The lightweight balls fly just as well as standard golf balls, but are easier to handle and safer in a park environment. The target design adds an element of creativity—think quirky obstacles, moving targets, or themed zones—that keeps the game lively and surprising.
