Cambridge FootGolf Centre

Footgolf at Cambridge is exactly what it sounds like - you're playing golf, but with a football instead of clubs and a ball. It's a proper sport, not just a novelty, and it takes about two hours to play a full round. The course itself is well-maintained and offers a decent challenge whether you're a keen golfer looking for something different or a family after an afternoon activity that doesn't require years of practice.

You'll kick your way around eighteen holes, aiming for the cup like you would in regular golf. It requires accuracy, strategy and a bit of skill - which means adults tend to find it more engaging than they'd expect, while kids love the straightforward appeal of just kicking a ball toward a target. Beginners and experienced players both get something out of it.

The venue sits just outside Cambridge itself, making it accessible if you're based in the city or staying at one of the nearby parks. Chittering Park is only four miles away, while Fen End Farm and The Orchard Campsite are under five miles out. Both make sensible bases for a few days exploring the area.

Check their website for current opening hours and admission prices, as these aren't fixed year-round. It's the sort of place that works well as a half-day activity alongside other local attractions rather than a full day's entertainment. Good for breaking up a holiday without requiring much planning beyond a booking.
