Footgolf combines the power of football with the precision of golf. The goal is simple: kick a Size 5 football into a specialized 21-inch cup in as few shots as possible. 

At Tanjong Puteri, we utilize our beautiful Straits Course, a rolling terrain to create a course that is challenging for adults yet perfectly accessible for children. 

At this point of time, we are also the only golf course in Johor that has a full 18 hole golf course (our Straits Course) dedicated to FootGolf. 

At TPGR, our FootGolf holes are strategically placed at our fully dedicated 18 hole Straits Course, away from the usual golf putting greens at Plantation Course. 

This ensures you get the full access to kick your ball anytime onto the manicured golf greens, without worrying about any disruptions to the usual golf tee-offs.

Whether you’re a local from JB, a Singaporean looking for a weekend getaway, or a corporate team seeking a fresh challenge, Footgolf at TPGR is your next favorite activity.

1. The Gateway to Golf Culture

Many people feel intimidated by traditional golf. FootGolf removes that barrier. You get to enjoy our prestigious resort atmosphere and world-class turf without needing to spend years mastering a golf swing.

2. A Total Workout in Nature

Set against our lush, Straits Course landscape, a round of FootGolf is a fantastic way to hit your daily step count. Walking 18 holes across our undulating hills provides a great cardio workout while you breathe in the freshest air in Pasir Gudang.

3. The Ultimate Family Bonding

Tanjong Puteri is a family-first resort. Unlike many sports that separate age groups, Footgolf allows a 7-year-old and a 70-year-old to compete on the same "pitch." It is the perfect outdoor activity to get the kids off their screens and into the sun.

4. Perfect for Team Building & Birthdays

Looking for something different for your next corporate retreat or birthday bash? Footgolf is social, competitive, and hilarious. It’s the best way to build camaraderie without the high pressure of other sports.

Do I need to book in advance at Tanjong Puteri?

While we welcome walk-ins, we highly recommend booking your kick-off time, especially on weekends and public holidays to ensure your spot on the course. You can book with just 2 players, no minimum big group needed. Checkout the pricing and booking form here : https://www.tpgr.com/footgolf

Is FootGolf a real sport?

Yes, Footgolf is a fully recognized international sport. It is governed globally by the Federation for International FootGolf (FIFG), which was established in 2012. The sport has its own official rulebook, world rankings, and international tournaments. It has even achieved "Observer Status" with the Global Association of International Sports Federations (GAISF), a significant step toward potential future Olympic recognition. It is a sport of skill, strategy, and etiquette, far beyond just a "casual game."

Who invented FootGolf?

While various versions of "football golf" have been played informally for decades, the modern sport of Footgolf was officially created and standardized in The Netherlands in 2008. It was developed by Michael Jansen and Bas Korsten. Jansen was inspired by a post-training game played by professional footballers at the British club Tottenham Hotspur, where players would compete to kick their balls from the pitch back to the changing rooms in the fewest touches possible.

Which countries play FootGolf?

Every few years, the FIFG organizes the FootGolf World Cup participated by national teams from across the globe to compete for world-class titles. Footgolf is played in 35 countries especially:

• In Europe: The UK, Netherlands, France, Hungary, Italy.

• The Americas: The USA, Argentina, Mexico.

• In Asia-Pacific: Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, Australia.

Is it suitable for Singaporean day-trippers?
