3. It simply is a combination of two of the world’s most popular
sports: football and golf.The game is played solo or in teams
on a 9-hole golf course with a size-5 football. Rules, as
well as dress code, are similar to that of golf. Proper attire
required!
Still sceptical about this new discipline? Just know that
footgolf was born in Netherlands in 2009, and today 15
other countries, including South-Africa, England, Argentina,
Australia, Chile, the United States and France, have
created their own federation.There even are Footgolf World
Championships! [2]

5. 3. HOW TO PLAY
FOOTGOLF?
Like in golf, the purpose of the game is to meet
the target in as few shots as possible. The player
kicks the ball towards a hole. Every 8 minutes, a
team starts its game with a scorecard indicating
the recommended number of shots to meet the
target.
Ethical behaviour is important in footgolf. Players
are expected to keep a minimal distance with the
teams ahead, to rake sand traps, to avoid running,
treading on the greens and shouting, so as not to
disturb golfers who may play on the same course
at the same time.

6. Located in the South of Mauritius, Heritage Golf
Club has set as a goal to promote golf on the
island and has seized the opportunity of a game
combining golf and one of the favourite sports
in Mauritius to do so. The first footgolf course on
the island is now open at Heritage Golf Club to
Heritage Resorts hotel guests, HeritageTheVillas’
residents and the public in general.
Both traditional golfers and footgolf players can
now use Heritage Golf Club’s Short Course. From
now and for their next visit on the Domaine de Bel
Ombre, regular visitors as well as newcomers on
the golf course should not forget their jersey!
