Golf Games

Each partner plays their own ball, but the couple records only the better score on each hole. Removes pressure and keeps things moving — perfect for mixed skill levels.

You and your partner take turns hitting the same ball — one tees off, the other hits the approach, and so on. Builds communication and teamwork every single shot.

Race to finish 9 holes as fast as possible. Your score is holes completed + minutes taken. Fun, silly, and totally removes the perfectionism from a round together.

Play only the par 3s on the course. Keep score however you like — closest to pin wins a point, or just enjoy the short game without the long walk. Great for beginners.

Award a point for fun moments instead of low scores: longest drive, most creative recovery, best putt, funniest mishap. Whoever collects the most points wins dinner.

Each hole is worth a "skin" (set dollar or point value). Win the hole outright to claim it. If tied, the skin carries over to the next hole — building high-stakes drama.

Three separate bets in one: front 9, back 9, and overall 18. Each can be won or lost independently. Often includes a "press" option to double the bet when you're down.

Players rotate as the "Wolf" who tees off last and picks a partner after watching each drive — or goes it alone as a Lone Wolf for double points. Strategy and pressure every hole.

Points replace strokes — bogey = 1pt, par = 2pts, birdie = 4pts, eagle = 8pts. One bad hole won't ruin your round. Great for mixed handicaps and beginners.

Three points per hole: first on the green (bingo), closest to pin once all are on (bango), first to hole out (bongo). Handicap-friendly and full of comebacks.

Win holes, not strokes. The player who wins more holes wins the match — a lost hole is just a lost hole, so you're always in it. Head-to-head intensity from the first tee.

All players hit, then everyone plays from the best shot. Perfect for beginners or charity events — fast, fun, and team-focused. Great for bridging skill gaps.

One player is the "banker" each hole and bets against the other players individually. The best score beats the banker, the worst pays double. Rotates each hole.

A variation where the low score, middle score, and high score each pay set amounts to the others. Multiple payouts on every hole keep the competition alive all round.

Teams combine their two scores into a two-digit number (lower score first — e.g. 4 & 6 = 46). The difference between team numbers is the swing. Big swings possible quickly!

Each player gets a length of string (usually 1 inch per handicap stroke). Use it to move your ball at any point — but cut off the amount used. Great equalizer and tension builder.

Both partners tee off — then the opposing team picks which ball your team must play. Partners strategically choose the worst tee shot for the other side. Brutal fun.
