How to Play BucketGolf

BucketGolf is a portable golf game designed for gardens, parks, beaches, campsites and social gatherings.

Although mainly designed for outdoor play, BucketGolf can also be played indoors with enough space. Get creative with your course layouts, obstacles and trick shots to create your own unique playing experience.

Whether you're playing casually with friends or going head-to-head in a competitive round, BucketGolf is designed for all ages and skill levels.

Each Hole is a Par 3

Each hole is played as par 3. Players aim to complete the hole in as few shots as possible.

Stick with your club

Choose one club at the start of the round and stick with it throughout the game

Hitting the Bucket Counts to Score

The hole is completed once the ball makes contact with the bucket. Landing the ball inside the bucket earns a one-shot deduction from your score.

Out of Bounds Means -1

If a player’s ball lands in foliage, water or other obstacles, they must take a drop no closer to the hole from the point where the ball left play and add a one stroke penalty to their score.

Frequently asked questions

BucketGolf can accommodate almost any number of players, from solo games through to larger groups and events. For the best gameplay experience, we recommend groups of 2–4 players per hole to keep the pace of play flowing smoothly and the game engaging.

BucketGolf can be adapted to suit different spaces. Smaller gardens can be used for compact courses, while larger parks or beaches allow for longer and more creative layouts.
