Royal Victoria Park FootGolf challenges players to beat course records

Royal Victoria Park Golf and Footgolf asked followers, “Who thinks they can beat any of these footgolf records,” and paired the challenge with a booking prompt telling players to use the link in bio to reserve a slot or simply walk on up. The message turned the course’s record board into an open invitation for anyone willing to test their accuracy and nerve against the venue’s best marks.

The venue’s Instagram profile describes Royal Victoria Park Golf and Footgolf as an 18-hole golf course and a 12-hole footgolf course in Bath. It lists opening hours as weekdays from 12pm to 6pm and weekends from 9am to 6pm, giving casual players a clear window to try a round without needing a tournament entry or formal tee-time campaign.

Booking options are built to keep the round accessible. Future Golf Ventures hosts separate online booking pages for footgolf and golf at Royal Victoria Park, and one Facebook post says players can reserve a tee time by booking online through the bio link. Another post says bookings are cheaper online and that walk-ins are also possible, a setup that fits the sport’s low-barrier appeal for first-timers as well as repeat players chasing a personal best.

Conditions on Sunday 25 May 2025 were described in one Facebook post as “Warm, dry with a slight breeze, here in Bath, perfect for a game of Footgolf or golf.” That kind of weather is exactly what makes a public challenge like this resonate: a clean day, an easy entry point, and a visible benchmark for anyone hoping to match the club’s records.

The site also carries a longer golf history. A YouTube clip about Bath’s Approach Golf Course in Royal Victoria Park said the course was set to reopen on Monday, May 1, after being closed for two years. That continuity helps explain why a record-chasing post can still land with local players: the venue is not just selling a round, it is asking people to come back and measure themselves against what has already been done there.
