A golf ball struck by a player from a teeing area (22) to a second area (27) with golf holes (26), (30) passes beneath the lower edge (65) of a transparent screen (64) and then through photoelectric beam arrangements (66, 67). The holes (26, 30) incorporate ball sensors connected to a control device (60) which allocates scores. A selected hole may be illuminated and the control device rewards a successful putt into the selected hole with a higher score.
