Quick Answer: From the tee box to the green, find out how much energy your round actually burns.
Is Golf a Good Workout?
Yes, especially if you walk the course. Walking an 18-hole round means trekking 4 to 6 miles depending on the course length and your path. Carrying your clubs adds significant resistance, increasing the calorie burn and turning your round into a solid endurance and strength workout.
Walking vs. Riding
The way you navigate the course dramatically impacts your energy expenditure. Walking while carrying your clubs burns significantly more calories (MET 5.3) compared to riding in a cart (MET 3.5). Even pulling a pushcart provides a far better workout than driving between shots.
