The whole bag of designs costs nothing, on paper or online.
Golf as it is played today grew up on the windswept links of Scotland in the 1400s. The game was popular enough that King James II banned it in 1457 because it pulled men away from archery practice. St Andrews, often called the Home of Golf, settled on 18 holes as the standard round in 1764. The Open Championship began at Prestwick in 1860 and is the oldest of the four men’s majors, followed in the United States by the U.S. Open in 1895 and the Masters at Augusta National in 1934. Golf even reached the Moon: astronaut Alan Shepard hit two balls during Apollo 14 in 1971.
Single golfers and equipment sheets have open shapes for beginners. Course scenes, logos, and character groups add more detail for older kids.

Cartoon Characters on the Green
Twenty-seven sheets put familiar cartoon and movie characters on the course, from classic animation favorites to Minions and undersea friends. Keep each character in their signature colors and add a sunny Light Blue sky behind them.
What Golf Coloring Pages Do
Introducing a lifelong sport. Golf is one of the few games children can keep playing into their eighties, and coloring is an easy first step toward it. Pages showing a tee shot, a chip, and a putt let kids learn what each part of a round looks like before they ever hold a club. Families can talk through the vocabulary, such as fairway, green, bunker, and par, and then try mini golf together, pointing out the same features on the course they just colored.
Training patience and precise hands. Dimpled balls, thin club shafts, and narrow flagpoles demand slow, controlled strokes, much like a real putt. Crayons and markers quietly build the finger strength that pencils will demand in first grade, a stage of hand development covered in parent resources (American Academy of Pediatrics). Staying inside the tight edges of a golf club or tee also gives young artists a gentle lesson in slowing down to get details right.
It brings a calm, quiet mood. Golf rewards a steady mind, and coloring encourages the same calm. In 2005, Nancy Curry and Tim Kasser published research in Art Therapy in which volunteers coloring structured, patterned outlines finished calmer than a comparison group sketching, although they liked it. Shading rows of dimples or striped fairways creates that kind of soothing repetition, so these sheets slot nicely into quiet afternoons or the drive home from practice.
Connecting art to history and science. A golf ball typically carries hundreds of shallow dimples that help it fly farther by reducing drag, a fun fact that turns a coloring sheet into a mini science lesson. Kids can also learn about the game’s Scottish roots, the 1457 ban, and Alan Shepard’s shots on the Moon. Older children can look up where the next major tournament will be played and find it on a map.
How to Color Golf Pages Well
- Fairway stripes: Alternate light and dark Green bands to mimic a freshly mowed course.
- Golf ball dimples: Add tiny Light Gray dots on a White ball to suggest the dimpled surface.
- Sand bunkers: Fill bunkers with Tan and sprinkle in small Brown dots for texture.
- Water hazards: Color ponds, Turquoise with short White ripple lines.
- Golf clothing: Pick a bold polo color and a contrasting cap so golfers stand out from the grass.
- Metal clubs: Use Silver with a thin streak of White on each shaft for shine.
