Welcome to the World of Adirondack Golf ®

 

Adirondack Golf® originated at a private hunting and fishing club in the Adirondacks nearly 100 years ago. The founding members invented a rustic version of golf that is akin to early Scottish "links" golf and is played "in the rough"(not on a groomed course). They fashioned clubs with hardwood heads and hickory shafts and played with oversized balls similar to today's lacrosse ball. The game has remained unchanged and played exclusively on the grounds of this private club for generations using the original wooden clubs, c.1912.

 

Heirloom Sports® has introduced the modern version of the Adirondack Golf® in April 2009 offering high quality wooden club heads and shafts, along with 2 1/2 inch balls, stakes or cups(to identify the hole) and a carrying bag. All Adirondack Golf® products and materials are sourced and manufactured in the USA. Our wooden Adirondack Golf clubs are real sports equipment and have been designed to be swung and perform like modern manufactured metal golf clubs, but with Adirondack Golf a full swing results in a shot with a distance of no more than 55 yards, much less with the more lofted clubs.  Today anyone can play real golf the Adirondack Golf way in a backyard, at a park, at a schoolyard, in a field or in the woods. The players design their own course to be as fun and challenging as possible. One set of Adirondack Golf clubs can be shared by up to 10 players. With Adirondack Golf  you can teach your children golf, organize a neighborhood tournament, or play with your family and friends anytime, so just let yourself go and have some fun!
