"Roots" of the Game: Honoring Golf’s Farming Origins

What is an Agrigolfer?

An Agrigolfer is someone who values the game of golf and working farmland, honoring the game’s origins on Scotland’s coastal grazing lands while promoting sustainability and conservation. Unlike traditional golf venues that replace farmland, Agrigolfers play within it, integrating short-game experiences into active farms, pastures, and meadows—without altering their purpose.

Agrigolfer | Golf in Harmony with Working Land

Golf was born on coastal farmland, where shepherds knocked stones and pebbles across windswept pastures and sandy dunes. Agrigolfer venues embrace that history, offering experiences that coexist with grazing livestock, orchards, gardens, and fields. The land remains fully productive, using organic, chemical-free methods to maintain soil health and biodiversity.

Agrigolfer | A Partnership Between Land and Sport

Rather than reshaping landscapes for golf, Agrigolfer experiences work with the land’s natural rhythms. Farmers, with deep knowledge of the terrain, help ensure golf enhances rather than disrupts agriculture. This model protects farmland, provides farm fresh bounty, and preserves open space, keeping land productive.

Agrigolfer | More Than a Game—A Movement

Agrigolfers don’t just play; they support local farms as members of community supported agriculture programs, advocate for conservation, and promote sustainable land use. These venues serve as hubs for education and community engagement, where visitors learn about farming, land stewardship, and the connection between golf and agriculture.

Agrigolfer | A Return to Golf’s True Nature

At its core, Agrigolf revives golf’s roots, proving the sport can thrive alongside working farmland. It’s about working with the land as is, not against it, preserving both the game and the ground beneath it for future generations.
