What is Urban Golf?
Urban Golf is a fun reinterpretation of traditional golf – played not on the grass, but right in the heart of the city. In Solothurn, alleys, squares, and parks transform into a creative course with 11 varied holes. Instead of hard golf balls, soft balls are used for a safe and enjoyable urban playing experience. The starting point, instructions, and equipment rental are all located at the Solothurn Tourist Office.
