Could This Be Montana’s Next Big Outdoor Trend?

When I think of golf, one quote always comes to mind: "Golf is a good walk spoiled."

If you've ever played golf, you know how true that statement is. However, maybe this new form of golf is more to your liking.

Why Montanans Might Fall In Love With This Simpler Style Of Golf

When it comes to playing traditional golf under the Big Sky, just one word comes to mind: expensive.

You have your clubs, club bag, shoes, and balls; perhaps you own a golf cart, but if you don’t, you can rent one for a fee, of course.

But what if you could get rid of all that and play a game that anyone can pick up right away and you could play an entire game of during your lunch break?

How Park Golf Offers A Fun, Affordable Alternative To Traditional Golf

Park golf is the latest and newest sports trend here in America.

It got its start in Japan all the way back in 1983 and is less golf and more golf mixed with croquet.

You use a single club and a single ball, which you won't have to worry about losing because it's almost impossible for you to hit your ball into the air.

The inventors designed the game to be so simple that anyone in the family, regardless of age, could participate.

It's also great for older golfers, as the courses are shorter, so it's less strain on their bodies.

So far there are no park golf courses in Montana, but we do have some award-winning traditional golf courses to enjoy, so why not check them out in our gallery below?
