10 Fun Group Games to Make Golf Season a Hit for Everyone
Golf season isn’t just about hitting the fairway—it’s about spending quality time outside, laughing with friends and family, and making memories that last longer than any scorecard.
Whether you're hosting a backyard get-together, planning a tournament day, or entertaining kids at the course, these group games add extra fun to your golf season—no experience needed!
⛳ Backyard & Pre-Round Fun
1. Bucket Golf
A backyard favorite! Set up a course using buckets as holes and chip foam golf balls toward each target. It’s like mini-golf meets frisbee golf—great for kids, teens, and grownups alike.
2. Closest to the Pin Challenge
Use a chipping mat or small target like a towel or cone. Everyone gets a few shots—who can get closest? Add fun variations like chipping while standing on one foot or using plastic clubs.
3. Longest Marshmallow Drive
Swap out golf balls for marshmallows and see who can hit theirs the farthest. It’s silly, safe, and always gets giggles—perfect for younger kids.

4. Golf Pong (Family Edition)
Set up a triangle of buckets or cups and try chipping foam balls into them. Play solo or in teams—it’s fun for all skill levels and easy to set up on any lawn.
5. Speed Golf Relay
Form teams and race to complete mini golf-style challenges—chip into a bucket, make a short putt, then tag the next player. First team to finish wins!
6. Golf Cornhole
Use cornhole boards and chip soft golf balls instead of tossing bean bags. It’s a twist on a classic that golfers of all ages can enjoy.

7. Par or Challenge
If you don’t make par on a mini challenge, draw a fun card like “Do your best golf swing dance” or “Tell your favorite golf joke.” Keep it light, silly, and full of laughs.
8. Swing Impressions
Mimic famous golf swings or invent your own wild version. Let others guess who you’re pretending to be—or vote on the funniest one.
9. Trivia Tee-Off
Mix golf facts with short putting challenges. Answer right, you putt from close range. Miss the question? Step it back and try again.
10. Glow Golf (Night Bucket Golf!)
Once the sun sets, turn on the fun with glow sticks, LED golf balls, and night-time Bucket Golf. It’s a magical way to end a family golf day.
