Le Pitch and Putt est un parcours de golf dimension réduite. Sa superficie varie entre 5 et 15 hectares. Il est destiné aux golfeurs de tous niveaux.

Moins cher à la construction et à l'entretien, il permet donc de jouer ou de découvrir le jeu à moindre coût. Le parcours se fait avec 3 clubs maximum dont le putteur (au lieu de 14) et la distance de chaque trou doit être comprise entre 40 et 90 mètres seulement (contre parfois près de 500 mètres pour les trous les plus longs au golf classique). Un parcours Pitch and Putt est composé de 9 ou 18 trous de par 3.
