The Government of the City of Buenos Aires is building a public tennis court footgolf in the southern area of Buenos Aires, in the Villa Soldati neighborhood. It is a sport that combines soccer and golf and that arrived in the country about 13 years ago.
The property will be located in the Indoamerican Parkin Villa Soldati and covers a total of 13 hectares. It is estimated that it will be ready by the end of November.
The new 18-hole footgolf course will be located on Escalada Avenue and Batlle y Ordóñez Street. The site will also have a new parking lot for 30 cars and restrooms.
What is footgolf?
It is already very popular in Europe, especially in Holland, where it was invented 14 years ago. Footgolf is a combination of football and golf, where players try to get a football into a series of holes in as few touches as possible.
The footgolf course also has obstacles and tee areas. Each hole is 20-25 cm in diameter and is placed on the ground, like in golf. The player who gets the ball in first wins the hole. At the end of all the holes, the kicks are added up to determine the winner.
