Speed Golf
Sixty minutes of target golf at The Alto Club, then a barbecue.
An hour of golf, decided on points, with a barbecue at the end of it. You do not need to be a golfer to play, and children can be included in your team.
Sixty minutes of target golf on TopTracer at The Alto Club. Teams of four take a bay and hit in turn, points for every target found, and the highest team score wins. No handicap, no experience, no clubs needed.

How it works
Teams of four take a bay on the TopTracer range. The clock starts for everyone at once and stops for everyone at once. In between you hit in turn, at whatever pace you like, and every shot that finds a target scores.
Highest team total wins. That is the whole scoring system. It means pace matters, because more shots means more chances, but so does hitting the thing you were aiming at. It also means a team of four beginners taking it seriously can beat a team of good golfers who spent the hour going big and missing.
On a tiebreak, it goes to a shootout: one shot per captain, nearest to the pin.
Strict start, strict stop
Registration is at 17:30 and the hour begins at 18:00 for everybody. A team arriving late loses those minutes rather than getting them back at the end, because the whole field finishes together at 19:00.
The 19th hole
Snacks come out at the Alto Cafe and the near misses get spoken about, the barbecue follows at 19:30, and prizes are given at 20:30. Drinks are available through the night, paid as you go, and you can order in the bay using the QR code.
Prizes for first, second and last.
Getting a team together
- A team of four is €200, which includes the golf, the snacks, the barbecue and prizes
- Ten bays. Three have already gone. Get your team in quick.
- Genuinely open to non-golfers. On a target range nobody can see how far you sliced it, and it still might score
