425 Recommends: BucketGolf

Typically, golfers must travel to the course they want to play — and oftentimes, they venture far and wide to do so. But with BucketGolf, the course comes with you.

BucketGolf began 10 years ago with one homemade set a family created to take on vacations. Operations have since exploded, particularly after the game’s 2024 appearance on “Shark Tank.”

Today, the portable golf game comes in 9-, 6-, and 3-hole bundles, including glow-in-the-dark options and other accessories. Gameplay is simple, and everything needed to play — from tees to balls, clubs, flags, and even scorecards — is included in the handy carrying case. Prices vary by kit size.
