Urban golf

Image

Today, golf is no longer reserved for an elite group: the urban version is designed for all-comers and can be enjoyed freely and informally in the city’s parks, promenades and gardens. It is an ideal occasion to combine a physical activity with a moment of relaxation while strolling around a park or taking a break by the lake shore.

Principle of the game

Urban golf is played in pairs and the aim is to complete 8 holes in as few shots as possible.

Where and when can you play urban golf?

Urban golf is organised from 3 July to 20 August 2023. It is open 7 days a week, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. but not available in case of rainy weather.

The course starts in Parc des Bastions, where the equipment is distributed in the hut next to the Bastions kiosk (Place-Neuve entrance).

The 7 stations on the circuit offer you a chance to rediscover various emblematic heritage sites around the city, such as the Promenade de la Treille, the Jardin Anglais and the Brunswick Monument.

Reservations

Groups of more than 10 people are asked to complete the reservation form below and return it to the Youth Department.

An example of local sport

This activity is managed by the Youth Department and supported by various partners. Urban golf is organised as part of the launch of local fun and sports projects developed within the different districts of the city in order to encourage people to participate in fun, physical activities.
