Description
Learning the ‘rules of golf’ can be quite a scary thought for kids, and often they relate the term ‘rules’ to everything they can’t do. So, what if we could demonstrate to them that’s not the case for golf. In fact, learning the rules of golf can make the game even more enjoyable, for example, knowing what to do when your ball magically disappears down a rabbit hole, or better yet, the local crow flies off with it. We’re not even convinced all the grown-ups playing the game would know that ruling! Consequently, Golf Cubs has launched a brand new board game that makes learning the rules of golf pleasurable for kids (and maybe some parents/grandparents, too!)

As a family we love board games. We want a game to be fun, easy to learn, inclusive and interactive. It can be hard though to find something that engages us all (2 Parents, 9 and 11 year old). Race to 18 absolutely does all of this and beyond.
The board and pieces are bright and inviting and the game rules mix the right amount of fun and competition (we are quite competitive!). Three out of four of us are ‘golfers’ but all are still able to get involved and the game question cards test golfing knowledge at all levels.
It really is a race to 18 with the risk of ending up in the water or on the flip side the chance of getting a hole in one – we enjoy the anticipation and suspense of who is going to collect all 18 holes and get to the clubhouse first!
It can be played as a family or once played a few times together the children are able to play together without us too.
We highly recommend!

How exciting to hear this game brought all the family together! Perhaps this game might encourage the 4th person in the family to become a ‘golfer’? 😜 Thank you for such positive feedback.

Really enjoy the game and playing it with my Daughter who loves golf. Easy to follow and understand

Pleased to hear you and your daughter enjoyed it! Thank you ☺️
Chris (Verified Customer) –
Race to 18 is exceptionally well thought out and what I would describe as a premium board game. I have enjoyed playing it myself multiple times and bizarrely each time I do it goes right to the wire, which makes it so exciting. The service I received from Golf Cubs was top draw keeping me up to date with my shipment so I knew exactly when to expect delivery. Cant fault anything, very happy indeed. Thank you
Golf Cubs (store manager) –
Delighted to read about your customer service experience with us, Chris. Thank you for sharing that! It’s certainly a game for those competitive golfers, especially that final race back to the Cubhouse once you’ve collected all the hole cards! 🎲
Jayde Ellis (Verified Customer) –
Really enjoyable game which our son loved playing. Clearly a well thought out game which even included questions which I didn’t know. 😃
The only thing we found it difficult for our son to do was work out which holes he’d collected and needed as we ventured around the board. As he had to layout out all of his cards and then count through them each move. Cards were everywhere. 😃
One recommendation might be to have a little plastic base with 18 little holes where you put a small flag into each time you land on a hole.
Something else we though of was to have a quick fire quiz based round, where players have 1 minute to answer as many questions as possible. Put a little sand timer into the box to create another mini game where they learn the answers to questions in a fun way, but which allows them to memorise more answers through quicker play and increase their level of learning.
Hope this feedback helps. It’s a wonderful concept and a way to help kids learn about golf.
Golf Cubs (store manager) –
WOW! Thanks for the review, Jayde. In the Den we always love to hear of the different family experiences so we shall certainly take on board all of your feedback and comments (the sand timer idea is fab!) 🤩
Bethany Johnson (Verified Customer) –
What a brilliant game! The whole idea is amazing for learning the rules of golf for all ages. I pre-ordered back in August and couldn’t wait to receive it, when it arrived it was really well packaged and I was so excited, unfortunately santa had other ideas and we had to wait to play it :(. We finally got to play and it is such an enjoyable game, for me as a non golfer, my partner who plays and our junior golfer too. We learnt so much from just the first game and found out we didn’t know as much as we thought! So pleased with the game, thankyou golf cubs!!
Golf Cubs (store manager) –
It’s lovely to receive feedback like this, so thank you! To hear you all played as a family over the festive break is just wonderful; even if you did have to wait a little longer for it to be (re)delivered by Santa! 😋
Stacey Mitchell (Verified Customer) –
a fab game that has been thoroughly enjoyed!
Golf Cubs (store manager) –
We’re thrilled to hear that! ☺️
Dan Shea (Verified Customer) –
We love everything about this game. So much fun! So much learning. What a fun way for kids to learn rules, etiquette and the history of the game!
Golf Cubs (store manager) –
Wow, thanks for the feedback! We love to turn those less interesting topics for junior golfers (rules, etiquette etc.) into real family fun experiences!!😜
Anonymous (Verified Customer) –
Its ok I think its a bit of a shame you dont end up using the rules or game cards very often so it gets a bit dull until you finally land on one. It also makes it slightly too easy as you just given the cards. It found that my son lost interest a little. Concept great just think you could tweak the rules a bit to make it even better.
Golf Cubs (store manager) –
Thank you for your honest feedback! We shall certainly take these suggestions on board with future expansions of the game. Hopefully your next Race To 18 will see you land on a few more Rules and General Knowledge tiles! ☺️
