Our story

A birdie. An idea. A love for golf.

The mission: Nutty Golf is all about making golf even more fun - and at the same time helping to improve your golf skills.

One good shot, that's all it took to get me hooked. Again. After a long hiatus from golf, I decided to play 9 holes with relatives. I played horribly bad, but on the last hole, a par 3, my tee shot ended up just a few feet from the flag, and I holed the put for birdie. That made me realize how much I love golf, and I started playing again.

In the world of board games, cards are a way to modify rules and gameplay. After playing golf with a friend who is also a board game enthusiast, I started thinking about combining cards and golf – to add a new dimension by modifying rules, introducing random challenges, and providing more fun and variation when playing the same course over and over again. The idea for a card game for the golf course was born. 

Goals were set early: First of all, to make golf even more fun. I then wanted the game to help improve your golf skills as well, and that anyone should be able to use it in a variety of circumstances – for solo play, in groups, and at different skill levels. It should also be easy to use during a round of golf without interfering with the normal pace of play. 

Then followed a two year long process of brainstorming, development, prototyping, and game testing on the golf course before it finally became a finished product.

Nutty Golf will make you practice half shots, chipping with different clubs, finding creative solutions, and using course management – all while making your rounds more entertaining and unpredictable. And challenging friends on the golf course is now easier and more fun than ever!

I hope you enjoy the game!
