What You'll Learn
Unlocking the golf feature
To unlock the golf feature in Fortnite, players must first purchase the Season 5 Battle Pass and complete challenges to level it up to tier 27. This is because the ability to play golf is one of the new "Toy" rewards that comes with the Battle Pass. Toys function similarly to emotes, but instead of just performing a dance, they spawn physical items into the game, such as a golf ball, that remain there indefinitely.
Once players have unlocked the golf toy at level 27, they can drop into the island and head over to the golf course called "Lazy Links," which replaced Anarchy Acres on the map. At Lazy Links, players can use their emotes to play a round of golf as they normally would, with their axe doubling as a golf club. The golf emote will work anywhere on the map, but the holes at Lazy Links create a unique sound effect and spit out confetti when a golf ball goes in.
It's worth noting that while players can enjoy a game of golf at Lazy Links, Fortnite won't keep track of anyone's score, so it's recommended to have a notepad nearby to manually keep score. Additionally, players should be vigilant as fellow Fortnite players may interrupt the game, especially outside of the Playground mode, which allows players to have the island to themselves.
Overall, the addition of the golf feature in Fortnite offers a unique, non-violent gameplay experience that adds to the ever-growing list of activities that Fortnite provides.

Choosing your golf ball emote
To choose your golf ball emote in Fortnite, you must first unlock it. To do this, you need to reach level 27 on the new Battle Pass season. Once you have unlocked the emote, you can then head to the golf course, Lazy Links, and choose your golf ball emote. Your axe will then double as a golf club, and you can strike the ball towards the hole.
It is worth noting that the golf ball emote will work anywhere on the map, but the holes in the course at Lazy Links create a sound effect and spit out confetti when a golf ball goes in. There are nine possible holes to choose from, giving you a nice variety for selecting which ones to play.
When choosing your golf ball emote, it is important to consider the angle and position of your shot. You can stand anywhere within the green rectangle at the tee area, and at any angle, when you start your golf ball emote. If you are overhitting or underhitting the shot, you can adjust your camera height, as the height of the camera determines what kind of shot you execute with the golf ball emote.
Additionally, you can also play basketball once you unlock the emote at Level 11. This can be done by purchasing V-Bucks if you don't want to wait to unlock the emotes on the Battle Pass.

Using your axe as a golf club
To play golf in Fortnite, you'll first need to unlock the golf emote. To do this, everyone in your squad will need to purchase Fortnite's Season 5 Battle Pass and level it up to tier 27 by completing challenges. Once you've unlocked the golf emote, you can head to the golf course, Lazy Links, to start playing.
When you arrive at Lazy Links, simply head out onto the course and select your golf ball emote. Your axe will then function as a golf club, allowing you to strike the ball towards the hole. The golf emote will work anywhere on the map, but the holes at Lazy Links create a unique sound effect and spit out confetti when a ball goes in.
- Equip your axe: Make sure you have your axe equipped as your primary weapon or tool. This will allow you to use it for golfing.
- Position yourself behind the golf ball: Find a comfortable distance behind the ball, similar to how you would position yourself in real golf.
- Aim your swing: Look in the direction you want to hit the ball and adjust your stance accordingly. You can also adjust the power of your swing by varying the distance of your backswing.
- Swing your axe: Press the attack button to swing your axe and strike the ball. The ball will launch forward, leaving a trail behind it so you can track its path.
- Follow through: Just like in real golf, a smooth follow-through will help improve your accuracy and distance.
With these steps, you'll be golfing with your axe in Fortnite in no time! Remember to practice your swing and experiment with different backswing lengths to get a feel for the power and accuracy of your axe-golfing abilities.

Keeping score
To play a round of golf in Fortnite, you'll need to unlock the golf emote. To do this, everyone in your squad will need to purchase Fortnite's Season 5 Battle Pass and level it up to tier 27 by completing challenges. Once you've unlocked the golf emote, you can drop into the island and head over to the golf course, Lazy Links, which replaced Anarchy Acres on the map.
When you get to Lazy Links, choose your golf ball emote. Your axe will then double as a golf club. You can strike the ball towards the hole, and it will leave a trail so you can follow its path. You can play golf as you normally would, travelling between holes using Fortnite's new Golf Cart.
While the holes on the course at Lazy Links create a sound effect and spit out confetti when a ball goes in, the game won't keep track of anyone's score. It's a good idea to have a pen and paper handy to note down scores and the order of play. When a ball goes in, the distance is listed in the kill feed like a sniper kill.
Playground mode is ideal for a game of golf, as it allows players to have the whole island to themselves. However, until this mode returns permanently, squads will have to win control of Lazy Links and stay vigilant for any unwanted guests on the fairway.
