Gopher InflataGolf Set
Designed to get your students hitting the green and having fun right away, this indoor golf green includes a realistic sand trap and water hazard, providing all the excitement of a real golf course. Students take aim from afar to try to hit the green. The green, bunker, and water hazard are each individually colored to create an engaging golfing experience that students will love.
Crafted for indoor and outdoor use, this green is made from super heavy-duty commercial-grade vinyl with double-stitched reinforced seams for durability. The green inflates in just five minutes using the included 1 HP blower, making setup quick and easy. Keep the blower plugged in during use.
Available individually or in a complete set. Set includes 12 Soft Stix irons (6 Ea Yellow, Green), 16 soft fleece balls, and a convenient storage duffel. For the best experience, we recommend using only soft balls, as real or harder practice balls are not suitable for this inflatable green. 22'L x 14-1/2'W x 8"H; 75 lb.
Add a cart (sold separately) to your inflatable golf green to make transportation easy. Its powder-coated, 19-gauge steel frame is extremely strong.

15 Creative Activities Using the Gopher InflataGolf Set to Teach Fundamental Movement Skills
The Gopher InflataGolf Set is a fun and imaginative way to introduce golf-style striking, coordination, and target games using oversized, inflatable clubs and balls that are safer and more accessible for students of all ages. With its unique lightweight construction and larger-than-life design, it encourages physical activity through movement-based play while focusing on gross motor skills. These 15 unique activities incorporate the InflataGolf set into engaging physical education lessons that promote development of fundamental movement skills across locomotor, non-locomotor, manipulative, and body control domains. Each idea is tailored for group participation and adaptable to different grade levels.
1. InflataGolf Island Hop: Set up poly spots as "islands" across the gym and place targets (like cones or rubber bases) near each. Students must leap, hop, or gallop to an island and then use the InflataGolf club to strike the ball toward a target before moving to the next island. Focus: Leaping, Galloping, Striking
2. Monster Mini Golf Mayhem: Set up fun golf "holes" using mats, cones, and tunnels. Students try to strike the ball through themed obstacles. Use spots to mark hole zones. Focus: Striking, Aiming, Balance
3. Around the World Whack: Place 8–10 stations around the gym, each with a unique challenge (e.g., strike between cones, curve around a bucket). Students rotate after completing the challenge at each station. Focus: Striking, Twisting, Agility
4. Golf ‘n’ Gallop: Students strike the ball a short distance, then gallop to where it stopped. They repeat this until they reach a designated goal line. Focus: Galloping, Striking, Tracking
5. Turf Target Twist: Use Gopher Rainbow Numbered Floor Spots as scoring zones. Students aim to strike the InflataGolf ball into the highest scoring zone. Focus: Striking, Aiming, Power Movements
6. Swing & Slide Shuffle: Set up a course that requires students to strike their ball, then slide sideways (lateral movement) to its location before striking again. Focus: Sliding, Striking, Coordination
7. Club Crawl Freeze Dance: Play music and let students freely strike and move their ball around the room. When the music stops, they freeze and balance on one foot while holding their club. Focus: Striking, Balancing, Free Movement
8. Partner Putt & Pivot: In pairs, one student strikes the ball to their partner who must pivot and strike it back without moving their feet. Focus: Striking, Twisting, Coordination
9. Hole-in-Fun Hurdles: Combine hurdle jumps with striking tasks. Students jump over a cone and then strike the ball toward a goal. Focus: Jumping, Striking, Dynamic Movement
10. Zone Defense Dingers: Divide the play area into zones. One team strikes balls into zones while defenders (with foam paddles) try to block them. Focus: Striking, Dodging, Reaction Time
11. Color Code Clubbers: Place colored cones around the area. Call out a color, and students strike the ball to the nearest matching cone. Focus: Striking, Color Recognition, Aiming
12. Long Drive Dash: Students compete to see who can strike the ball the farthest. Then they run to the ball, collect it, and sprint back to the start. Focus: Striking, Power, Sprinting
13. Shape Shot Shuffle: Create large shapes on the floor using floor tape (circle, square, triangle). Call out a shape, and students strike the ball to land in that shape. Focus: Striking, Spatial Awareness, Shape Recognition
14. InflataGolf Relay Rumble: Teams race to strike the ball to a cone, then dribble it back with the club. Next student repeats. Focus: Striking, Dribbling, Relay Cooperation
15. Mini-Match Masters: Set up short, 3-minute matches between pairs or small groups aiming at a shared target. Keep score based on how many times the target is hit. Focus: Striking, Strategy, Timing
