The Chip Shot Golf Game Is the Only Inflatable Rental in the Catalog Where You Actually Swing a Golf Club — Foam Balls, Real Technique, Scored Zones on an Inflated Target.
The Chip Shot Golf Game is a single-player skill game built around one of golf's most satisfying shots — the chip. Players step up with a golf club, set up a foam ball, and chip toward a colorful inflated target standing 13 feet tall. The target has scoring zones at different point values: the tighter the zone, the more it is worth. Land in the center and you score high. Miss wide and you know it immediately. The game rewards genuine golf technique — stance, swing weight, follow-through — while remaining accessible to players who have never set foot on a course. Old page: "Players step up and use a real golf club to chip foam balls toward a colorful, inflated target — aiming for the zones with the highest point values. It's a fun twist on traditional golf that keeps both beginners and seasoned golfers coming back for more!" We deliver and set up across Fort Worth, Burleson, Mansfield, and 50+ cities throughout the DFW metroplex.
What makes the Chip Shot work at events is the scoring zone format. Every player gets the same shot from the same distance — so the competition is pure skill, not body type or strength. A 10-year-old with good hand-eye coordination can outscore a 50-year-old weekend golfer. Old page: "This game will satisfy any golf or sports enthusiast. The golf game can offer a challenge and fun time to many age groups and event types."

Why the Chip Shot Golf Game Works at Your Event
Real Golf Technique — Not a Carnival Toss
Most carnival games replace skill with proximity — stand close enough, throw hard enough, something lands. The Chip Shot uses an actual golf club and actual chipping technique. Grip, stance, swing weight, and follow-through all affect where the foam ball lands on the target. That genuine skill component is what makes real golfers at corporate events come back for five turns instead of one. Old page: "a fun twist on traditional golf that keeps both beginners and seasoned golfers coming back for more."
Scored Zones Create Instant Competition
The inflated target has multiple scoring zones — lower-value zones are larger and easier to hit, the highest-value zone is small and requires precision. Every player shoots for the highest zone but most land in the middle tiers. That gap between your score and the high-zone score is what keeps people stepping back in line. The scoring format turns a solo activity into a natural leaderboard without any staff organizing a tournament.
Compact Footprint — Fits Almost Anywhere
The 16'x16' setup area is the smallest footprint in the golf game lineup — and among the smallest inflatables in the full catalog. It fits in backyards that cannot accommodate larger inflatables, in festival booth layouts where space is tight, and at corporate events where a smaller skill-station footprint is needed alongside other activities. Old page: "Fast Setup, Easy Play — Quick to set up, even quicker to get the competition started."
Beginner-Friendly Without Being Easy
A player who has never held a golf club can land foam balls on the target on their first turn — the target is large enough that beginners score something immediately and stay engaged. But the highest-value zone demands real skill, so experienced golfers are challenged throughout the session. Old page: "Fun for All Ages and Skill Levels — From little putters to golf pros, everyone can play!" That spread means one game serves your entire guest list without anyone getting bored or frustrated.
Eye-Catching at 13 Feet Tall
Old page: "Eye-Catching Inflatable Design — Vibrant and professionally crafted to turn heads." The 13-foot inflated target is visible across a festival or backyard event layout. Participants approaching from a distance see a towering colorful target and immediately want to know what the game is. The visual of someone swinging a golf club at an inflatable draws spectators the same way any sporting activity does — people stop to watch a swing.
High Throughput With Quick Turns
Old page: "Boosts Guest Engagement — Watch the laughs and cheers roll in with every swing." A single chip shot takes 20-30 seconds. A 3-5 ball round takes 2-3 minutes. That turn time means 20+ guests per hour cycle through the Chip Shot even at a relaxed pace. At school carnivals and corporate events where guest volume is high, the Chip Shot's compact setup and quick turns make it one of the most efficient games in the lineup.
How to Play the Chip Shot Golf Game
1
Step Up and Get Your Club
The player approaches the marked shooting position in front of the inflated target. The supervisor hands over the golf club and positions the foam ball on the ground at the shot line. Players of any height can participate — the foam ball sits on the ground at the natural chipping position, and the supervisor can adjust shot distance for younger or shorter players to give them a fair chance at the scoring zones.
2
Aim for the Highest Zone
The inflated target has colored scoring zones — each zone is worth a different point value, with the highest-value zone at the center or top. Players set their grip, get into stance, and chip the foam ball toward the target. Old page: "aiming for the zones with the highest point values." The shot requires a controlled upward chip — too hard and the ball flies over the target, too soft and it falls short. Getting the distance right is the core skill challenge.
3
Score Gets Recorded
Where the foam ball lands on the target determines the score. The supervisor reads the zone and records the points. Players typically get 3-5 shots per turn with scores added together or the highest single-shot score recorded — confirm the scoring format with the supervisor before the round starts. Spectators watching can see clearly which zone the ball hits at 13 feet of visible target height, making every shot a shared moment rather than a private one.
4
Next Player Steps Up
When the round ends, the supervisor collects the foam balls, announces the score, and hands the club to the next player. High scores go on a running leaderboard if the supervisor is tracking. Players who want to challenge the top score get back in line. Old page: "See if you can chip the ball into the highest point value and beat your friends!" The competition is organic — the leaderboard builds itself across the 8-hour rental without any formal tournament structure.
Setup Requirements and How to Book
Space and Access Requirements
You need a 16'x16' setup area with 13 feet of overhead clearance. The 16-foot square footprint is among the most compact inflatables in the catalog — it fits in most standard backyards, festival booth layouts, and outdoor event spaces without the space-planning challenges of larger units. Players stand in front of the target to chip, so allow a few additional feet of clear space on the player-side for the swing arc. One 12-amp outlet within 100 feet of the setup location is required to keep the target inflated.
Golf Club and Foam Balls
Confirm with Chanda whether the golf club and foam balls are included with the rental or supplied by the customer. Old page states "players step up and use a real golf club" without specifying who provides it. This is the most common question customers ask before booking a golf game rental — make sure to confirm this detail with our team at (817) 800-8618 when booking so your event is ready from the first swing.
Supervisor Role
One adult supervisor manages the Chip Shot station: positioning foam balls for each player, handing the club to each participant, reading zone scores after each shot, collecting foam balls between turns, managing the line, and keeping a running score or leaderboard if a competition format is used. The supervisor also adjusts shot distance for younger players who need to stand closer to reach the target effectively. See what to expect on event day.
Booking
Click "Add to Cart," select your event date and delivery address, and pay a $50 deposit — it applies directly toward the total rental price. Old page: "The deposit goes directly to the rental price and it is subtracted from the total and not in addition to the total rental price." Email confirmation arrives immediately. Our crew handles delivery, setup, and pickup. Call (817) 800-8618 to book by phone or to confirm the golf club and foam ball arrangement before scheduling. All inflatables are state-inspected by the Texas Department of Insurance. Read our safety standards.
Best Events for the Chip Shot Golf Game in DFW Texas
Golf-Themed Events and Golf Fundraisers
The Chip Shot is the game for events where golf is the theme. Golf fundraisers, golf club charity events, and country club social gatherings use the Chip Shot as a warm-up game, a skills competition, or a cocktail hour activity. Participants who spend their weekends on a course find the foam-ball chip shot a low-stakes, genuinely skill-testing game that fits naturally alongside the event. Old page: "Golf-Themed Events and Fundraisers."
Corporate Events and Company Picnics
Old page: "Corporate Team-Building and Company Picnics." Golf-playing employees gravitate to the Chip Shot with the same energy they bring to the actual course — and employees who have never golfed appreciate that the foam ball format removes the intimidation of real golf without removing the technique. A company picnic with a Chip Shot leaderboard posted at the station turns a casual game into office conversation for weeks. See our corporate event packages.
Birthday Parties With a Sports Theme
Old page: "Birthday Parties and Family Reunions." A sports-themed birthday party for a golf enthusiast — or any general sports birthday where multiple game stations are running — benefits from the Chip Shot's compact footprint and all-ages accessibility. Kids 5 and up can chip foam balls with some coaching, and adults at the party get a genuinely skill-based game rather than a bounce house designed for children.
School Carnivals and Field Days
Old page: "School Carnivals and Church Events. It does really well for school events." The Chip Shot's quick turn time — a few chips per player, 2-3 minutes per round — makes it efficient at high-volume school carnivals where students rotate through game stations on a schedule. The physical skill element and the competition of beating the high score keep students engaged without requiring a lengthy setup of rules. We handle all required school vendor documentation.
Church Events and Community Festivals
Old page: "Church Events, community festivals, city events." At church carnivals and community festivals where the guest age range is wide, the Chip Shot works because grandparents and elementary school students can both participate and both score. The foam ball eliminates any safety concern about projectiles in a crowd, and the inflatable target is visually distinctive enough to draw attention across a large festival layout. See our church event ideas.
College Campus Events
Old page: "college campuses." The Chip Shot works at campus events because the skill ceiling — hitting the high-value zone consistently — is high enough that college-age participants compete seriously rather than getting bored after a few turns. Golf club culture on college campuses has grown significantly, and the Chip Shot connects to that interest in a casual, accessible format. See our college event entertainment options.
High School Graduation Parties
Old page: "high school grad parties." The Chip Shot fits graduation parties because the skill format gives older teens a game with real competitive stakes — not a bounce house. Pairing the Chip Shot with larger inflatables like water slides or obstacle courses gives graduation parties multiple levels of engagement: physical activities and skill challenges running simultaneously.
Paired With Other Sports Games
The Chip Shot's 16-foot footprint makes it the easiest golf game to add alongside other inflatables without dominating the event layout. Pair it with a Hole in One 3-Player Golf course for a full golf-theme event, or alongside basketball and soccer games for a multi-sport skills competition. Old page: "This game will satisfy any golf or sports enthusiast."
Complete Your Golf-Themed or Sports Event

Frequently Asked Questions About the Chip Shot Golf Game
What is the Chip Shot Golf Game and how does it work?
Players use a golf club to chip foam balls toward a 13-foot inflated target with colored scoring zones — each zone worth a different point value. The goal is to land foam balls in the highest-value zone. The game rewards actual golf chipping technique — grip, stance, swing weight, follow-through — while remaining accessible to players who have never held a club before. Old page: "a fun twist on traditional golf that keeps both beginners and seasoned golfers coming back for more." Turns are quick: typically 3-5 chips per player, with scores recorded or compared to a running leaderboard.
Does the rental include a golf club and foam balls?
The old page states players use a real golf club but does not specify whether it is included or customer-supplied. Confirm this detail with our team before booking by calling (817) 800-8618. This is the most common question customers ask about the Chip Shot Golf Game rental, and our team will tell you exactly what is included and whether you need to provide anything at setup.
What is the difference between the Chip Shot, Hole in One, and Golf Par-Tee?
All three are golf-format inflatable games. The Chip Shot (14'x14') is a single inflated scoring target — one player chips at a time toward a stationary target, earning points by landing in high-value zones. The Hole in One 3-Player Golf ($225) is a 15'x50' three-hole course with two players per hole simultaneously — a multi-hole layout for groups who want a full round experience. The Golf Par-Tee Game has a different format — confirm specs with our team. Choose the Chip Shot if you want the most compact footprint and a precision single-target skill challenge. Choose Hole in One for a multi-hole course format.
Do you need to know how to golf to play the Chip Shot?
No. Old page: "Fun for All Ages and Skill Levels — From little putters to golf pros, everyone can play!" A player who has never held a golf club can land foam balls on the target on their first turn — the target is large enough that a basic swing connects with something. The skill ceiling is high enough that experienced golfers are still challenged trying to hit the highest-value zone consistently. The game's real strength is that it plays well for both audiences simultaneously — beginners score, golfers compete.
How much space does the Chip Shot Golf Game require?
The setup area is 16'x16' with 13 feet of overhead clearance. This is one of the most compact inflatable footprints in the catalog — smaller than almost every other game we carry. Allow a few additional feet on the player-side of the target for the swing arc. One 12-amp outlet within 100 feet of the setup location keeps the target inflated during the full 8-hour rental. Standard backyard and festival booth locations accommodate this game without the space-planning challenges of larger inflatables.
