When played in groups of four, 18 holes of FootGolf should take about the same time as that of 9 holes of traditional golf, running at about 2 hours and 15 minutes.

Disney’s Oak Trail FootGolf course measures at 2,438 yards, and has a challenging selection of par 3’s, 4’s and 5’s. While the traditional golf is played to the blue pin flags, orange is the official color identifier for FootGolf.
