Aintree launches unlimited summer footgolf pass for kids and families
Aintree Golf Centre rolled out an unlimited footgolf pass for the school holidays after announcing it on July 6, giving kids and families a cheaper way to play multiple rounds across the summer break. The pass runs from July 20 through August 31, subject to availability, with a kids pass priced at £50 per person and an early-bird rate of £40 available until July 15.
The family version is set at £100 and is limited to either two adults and two children or one adult and three children. Only the people named on the membership pass can use it, which makes the offer less like an open-access ticket and more like a planned series of return visits for the same group.
That matters at Aintree because the venue already has a distinct selling point. The footgolf and golf operation sits inside Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool, and the club says its course was designed by Warrington-based PGA professional Michael Slater. Construction began in 1993, the 30-bay floodlit driving range opened in April 1994 and the 9-hole golf course followed in October 1994.
The setting gives the footgolf product a profile that is hard to duplicate at a standard municipal site. The club and The Jockey Club describe Aintree as one of the longest 9-hole courses in the UK, with Aintree listing the course at 3,287 yards from the white tees and a third-party golf listing putting it at 3,312. Aintree’s footgolf circuit is also a 9-hole layout, keeping the format compact enough for family outings while still anchored to a course with real scale.
Aintree says its summer footgolf offer is the only footgolf course in the area, and its holiday page adds that players can use the cafe/bar outdoor seating area as part of the visit. Merseyrail’s destination guide also notes that ball hire is available at the Golf Centre, which lowers another barrier for first-timers and casual players who do not want to arrive with their own equipment.
Taken together, the pricing, the holiday window and the hire option turn the offer into a direct test of whether a fixed summer pass can turn one family day out into repeat FootGolf trips before the school break ends.
