I am building a [ladder golf](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladder_Golf) game for my wife. The bolas (the things you throw) require two golf balls each. I’d like to get 8 balls in two colors; similar to the golf balls you use at a miniature golf course. I’d prefer to get an inexpensive brand since they won’t be used for golfing. I’d also like to avoid getting ones with cartoon characters (Target has SpongeBob balls). Finally, I’d prefer not to paint, dye, or otherwise color white balls. Any suggestions on where I could buy these from? Will a regular golf shop stock them? Ideally I’d like to buy them tonight, but a web-store will do in a pinch. Thanks in advance! ---

What is wrong with the link? Seems like a legit site to me. Miniature golf places all use colored balls so somebody must sell a bunch of them. ---

That was a joke in case you missed it (or maybe it just wasn’t a very good joke). I was just amused that there is a web site that is so hyper-specialized and their domain name reflects it. That is a good thing though. ---

Man, those [pine green balls](http://www.coloredgolfballsonline.com/shopnow.shtml#pinegreen) would be murder tried to find on the fairway, much less in the rough. ---

> [@Bijou\_Drains](#): > > How about this place? > > [http://www.coloredgolfballsonline.com/](http://www.coloredgolfballsonline.com/) Thanks **Bijou**. Looks like I can get two sets of 12 for about $25. If anyone has a suggestion of a brick-and-mortar store, I would still appreciate that. > [@Shagnasty](#): > > I didn’t check the link but I doubt it is any good. No place sells colored golf balls online as far as I know. Perfect delivery. And considering the thread… [golf clap] ---

Have you looked at Walmart? Or any sporting goods store? Pretty sure I’ve seen at least orange and yellow golf balls on the shelf at Walmart… For that matter, some golf courses, in the pro shop, will have a bucket of “practice balls” they’ve found on the course, and re-sell for less than new ones. ---

Golfer here…well, wannabe golfer, anyway. WalMart carries a bunch of various colors. Look down on the lower shelves. Plus Paula Creamer seems to have popularized the pink ones again. Take a peek at the ones with the clear outer layer; they are pretty cool looking and come in different colors. Our local WalMart has some sleeves of three each with different colors. ---

It’s easy to find colored golf balls if you like pink. 🙂 I like them because the guys don’t hit my ball. They also have orange and purple. ---

And considering the thread… [golf clap] Otherwise, if you look near the bottom of the page, you can get a dozen of mixed colors for $15. Seems like that would be a better choice, unless you’re making two games. ---

I can’t believe I’m the first one who can’t believe they still make special golf balls for coloreds. ---

Well Target, WalMart, a golf store, and a sports store all let me down. I guess I’ll have to order them online. Or maybe I should hop the fence at the local mini-golf course and shag what I can out of the water traps? Thanks everyone for your help! ---

Amazon has a great selection of colored golf balls. Here is just one such pack: [http://www.amazon.com/Intech-Womens-Multicolor-Pack-Multi-Color/dp/B000A0A40Q/ref=sr\_1\_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1249468793&sr=8-2](http://www.amazon.com/Intech-Womens-Multicolor-Pack-Multi-Color/dp/B000A0A40Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1249468793&sr=8-2) ---

Oh, dear. They’re African-American golf balls now. Just FYI.
