Not only is Gold Mountain Golf Complex home to two of the top courses in the Northwest, but the facility now offers FootGolf as well.

With its Olympic and Cascade courses, Gold Mountain has always been a popular spot. And now it is becoming a popular spot for FootGolf, which is being played on the Cascade Course.

Gold Mountain Golf Club is an accredited FootGolf Course of the American FootGolf League (AFGL) that promotes the sport of FootGolf under the rules and guidelines of the Federation of International FootGolf.

FootGolf is a combination of the popular sports of soccer and golf. To play FootGolf, athletes use soccer balls on a traditional golf course with 21-inch diameter cups.

The sport is played in the traditional format of up to four players per group. Gold Mountain Golf Club’s FootGolf Course has 18 holes built within the front nine of the Cascade Course and is designed to be able play both traditional golf and FootGolf simultaneously.

And the price is always right to play FootGolf. Adults pay just $12 for 18 holes while juniors cost $8. You can bring your own soccer ball or rent one at the shop for $5.

The sport is played in the traditional format of up to four players per group with FootGolfers either walking the course or using golf carts. Holes are roughly half the distance of a regular golf hole. While the soccer ball doesn’t travel as far in the air as a golf ball, it will roll much farther in the fairways.
