“We’re excited to further enhance the offerings at Orlando World Center Marriott, and Foot Golf is a great way for locals and guests to experience Hawk’s Landing Golf Course in a fun and approachable way,” said Michael Hodgins, Director of Golf at Hawk’s Landing Golf Club. “This activity is family-friendly, perfect for group team building events and is entertaining for all level players.”
The emerging sport of Foot Golf is played with a soccer ball on the golf course, but scored by traditional golf rules of stroke. During the round of Foot Golf, team members attempt to kick the soccer ball from tee-to-green into a 21-inch hole, while making sure to avoid water hazards and sand bunkers. Groups have the option to play a round of 6 or 18 holes at Hawk’s Landing every Tuesday and Saturday after 4:30pm at a cost of $25 for adults and $12.50 for each accompanying junior 17 and under, and includes the use of a soccer ball for each player and golf cart for the game.
Hawk’s Landing Golf Club offers 18-holes of championship golf at its finest. Re-designed by Robert E. Cupp II, on an original Joe Lee layout, the conveniently-located 6,602-yard championship golf course features water on 15 holes, closely mown fairways and over 80 bunkers, yet it has generous landing areas which make it playable for golfers of all levels. From start to finish, guests are surrounded by meticulously manicured, emerald green fairways, first-class amenities and a scenic blend of native wildlife and tropical vegetation. For over 25 years, Hawk’s Landing has been considered by many to be the premier resort golf course in Central Florida.
