Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I play golf as a beginner?

You can start at a driving range, practice facility or beginner-friendly golf course. Look for places that offer beginner sessions or lessons if you want extra guidance.

Should I play 9 or 18 holes for my first round?

Nine holes can be a manageable way to experience the course without committing to a full 18-hole round. Once you're comfortable, you can try a longer round.

Can I play golf on my own?

Yes. You can practise at a driving range on your own, and some courses allow individual players. If you want company, you can also look for social golf groups or playing partners.

How do I find someone to play golf with?

Try local golf clubs, social golf groups, beginner events or golf communities. You can also use platforms such as GolfSnap to connect with people looking to play.

Do I need a handicap to play golf?

Not for every golf experience. You can practise and learn the game without one, but a handicap may be needed for certain courses, competitions or formats.

What should I expect on my first round?

You’ll spend time moving between tees, fairways, greens and hazards while playing each hole. Don’t worry about playing perfectly—focus on learning the basics and enjoying the experience.

Can beginners play with experienced golfers?

Yes. Golf can be played by people with different levels of experience. Being upfront that you're new to the game can help set expectations and make the round more comfortable.

How can I feel more confident on the course?

Start with some practice at a range, learn basic golf etiquette and consider a beginner lesson. Knowing what to expect before your first round can make the experience much more relaxed.
