It’s now been nearly a year since David Jordan, owner of Trailside Golf & Footgolf, introduced Muncie to Footgolf — and it's been year that has brought many changes.
Footgolf was new to Muncie when Jordan began offering the sport at his golf course last fall. It is similar to golf, except you kick a soccer ball into large cups in the ground.
Within the footgolf course there are still the traditional 9- and 18-hole courses players can choose from. With the addition of night footgolf, players will be able to play with the course lit up at night.
A great spot for dates, Jordan hopes this will aid in getting more people in Muncie involved in the sport.
“I’m hoping to bring in more people with night footgolf,” Jordan said. “It’s a great date idea. I get a lot of couples who come and play.”
For now, footgolf is still a big hit among church groups and birthday parties. In the future, Jordan aspires to draw in more people with his addition of night footgolf and a bigger beer selection.
Now that the sport is more established in Muncie, he hopes to start a team and compete at competitions.
“Golf was down and a gentleman from Indianapolis approached me and sold me the equipment and away we went,” Jordan said. “I definitely want a league and to push some students to play.”
Trailside is located 16 miles off of Ball State’s campus, at 4813 Highway 35.
Although it is off campus, Jordan sees this as a great sport for college students to get involved in. Jordan urges that all are welcome.
