Is anyone concerned that larger holes might feel less challenging? I wonder if it takes away some of the sport’s traditional feel.
That’s an interesting point, Mayo. However, I’ve found larger holes make the game more fun, especially for kids who are just starting out.
I feel the same way! My kids love it more than regular golf. It’s all about making memories over strict rules!
Has anyone tried different types of golf balls specifically designed for large holes? I’d love suggestions.
Yes! I’ve used the Big Moss balls and they work great. Still bouncy but easier to get in those large cups!
Awesome! I think I’ll check them out. Any recommendations for grips that work well with the larger putters?

For grips, I really like the SuperStroke grips. They offer a great feel for larger putters and can help with stability.
I’ve tried large hole golf at a local course, and it was such a fun twist! I found it at Green Valley Golf Club. I recommend checking local listings or community boards for large hole events.
That sounds great! I’m curious if there are any special events for large hole golf—like tournaments or community days you know of?
I attended a local large hole golf day last month. It was hosted at Riverside Park Golf Course, and they actually had a great turnout! You might want to join local golf groups on social media for upcoming events.
Great tip, uoneill! Community groups definitely help in finding venues. Do you remember how to find the specific large hole days?
They usually announce them a week in advance on their Facebook page. Also, local golf shops sometimes have flyers up for special days!
I love that idea! Large hole golf is such a fantastic way to bring people together. Anyone tried it with a themed event? Seems like a blast!

Absolutely! I played at a Halloween-themed large hole event—it was hilarious! Costumes were encouraged; definitely made for some memorable swings!
I haven’t found many places that do large hole golf, but I’d love to! Any recommendations for courses around the Midwest?

You might want to look into Buffalo Ridge Golf Club—they’ve had large hole formats. It can help to reach out directly and ask about future events.

That’s a great point! Direct communication could reveal more events that aren’t publicly advertised. I’ll definitely do that!
Anyone tried to create their own large hole course? I thought about it, but can you imagine the chaos? Might be too much fun!
Haha! That could turn into a comedy show on the green! But I love the creativity; maybe a backyard party?
