– The fun blend of golf and minigolf
Park golf is the ultimate outdoor activity for families, groups of friends, and colleagues alike. The game is best described as a fun and dynamic mix of traditional golf and minigolf – often referred to as "minigolf on grass." It is incredibly easy to learn, requires absolutely no prior experience, and anyone from around the age of 7 and up can play on completely equal terms.
Already a golfer? Some like to call park golf a mini-version of traditional golf. While seasoned golfers might not entirely agree with that definition, make no mistake: park golf is a surprisingly fun challenge that requires precision! In fact, several of our regular season pass holders are experienced golfers who love the pace of the game and its social atmosphere.
Quick facts about the course and equipment
An official park golf course is designed in loops of 9 holes. While there are no fixed dimensions for each individual hole, a 9-hole loop can be a maximum of 500 meters in total length, and no single hole may exceed 100 meters.
Our facility: At Parkgolf Blåvandshuk, we feature 2 exciting loops with a total of 18 unique holes.
Distance & Time: Playing all 18 holes treats you to a scenic 1,000-meter stroll through the beautiful West Jutland nature. A round for 4 people takes from 90 minutes.
Equipment: Minimalist and simple! You only need 1 specialized club, 1 ball, and 1 tee. We have all the necessary equipment ready for you upon arrival – and it is fully included in the green fee.
Real golf terminology – with twice the fun
Even though park golf is informal and relaxed, we use authentic golf terminology. You tee off from the tee box using a tee, and along the way, you must navigate the fairway, semi-rough, rough, and smooth greens with flags. If you hit a particularly crooked shot, the ball can end up "out of bounds," just like in traditional golf.
The real genius of park golf lies in its proportions, ensuring plenty of successful shots and shared laughs along the way:
The ball has a diameter of 6 cm.
The cup (the hole) you are aiming for is a whopping 20 cm in diameter – that is twice the size of a standard golf hole!
A global success from Japan
Park golf is a relatively new sport, invented on the Japanese island of Hokkaido in 1983. Since then, it has taken the world by storm. On its home island alone, the sport is enjoyed by over 800,000 people today. In Japan, park golf is widely used in schools, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers because it keeps the body moving without demanding intense physical strength. It is a game of skill that brings everyone together, regardless of age, gender, or fitness level.
The sport has also taken root in Denmark. It was originally introduced to the country by Nicolai Agger (who today runs a large facility on Funen with four loops and 36 holes). If you would like to find links to other courses in Denmark, you can read more at www.Parkgolf.dk.

Everyone in the group tees up in turn, hitting their first shot on the court.
After the first stroke, it is always the player farthest from the hole who goes next.
A whiff counts as 1 penalty stroke.
"Out of Bounds": You will find white "Out of Bounds" sticks around the courses. If the ball crosses a straight line between two sticks, the ball must be placed one club length back on the course, measured from the spot where it crossed the "Out of Bounds" line.
Areas with uncut grass are always "out-of-bounds".
You receive 2 penalty strokes for being Out of Bounds.
FREE DROP: If the ball is 'unplayable' because it is too close to a rock, stick or something, where it is not "out-of-bounds", there is a free drop (no penalty stroke). This means that the ball must be moved a club length - but not closer to the hole.
Hitting the ball inside a flower bed or in uncut grass is not allowed.
If your ball hits another person's ball, this ball must be returned to its original location.
If another player's ball is in danger of being hit, you can ask the player to play his/her ball first or to place it a club's length away. Remember to return it when the ball is to be played.
There is no max on the number of strokes. All strokes count.
The person who gets through 9 holes with the fewest strokes wins.

Grab the top of the club, with your left hand. Then place your right hand, below and against the left hand.
If you are left-handed, the left hand should be in the bottom position.
Stand with legs slightly apart and bend a little in your knees until you have good balance. Take a few practice swings without a ball.
The club must be swung in a straight line, like a pendulum.
Try to swing through while you focus on a blade of grass where the ball would be.
Place the ball on the tee on the plate and place the clubhead on the plate right behind the ball. Now, stand so that your nose is approximately over the ball when you bend your legs.
Notice the arrow on the upper side of the clubhead. This arrow has to strike the middle of the ball.
Swing the club back slowly – at most to horizontal – and swing it fast, striking the ball right on the arrow of the clubhead. Continue the swing of the club in the direction of the hole in a pendulum-like swing.
Once you have struck, you should continue to look at the exact spot where the ball used to be. If you don’t, you will move your body and fail to strike the ball properly.
