Groups of 4 who want action on every single hole.

Each hole, both teams combine their two individual scores into a two-digit number — the lower score goes first. A 4 and a 5 becomes 45. The difference between the two teams' numbers is the point value for that hole. Points accumulate all round; net difference × entry amount settles at the end.

Any group — one of the most popular golf games ever played.

Three separate match-play competitions in one: Front 9, Back 9, and Overall 18. Each segment is worth its own amount. Auto-Press option automatically starts a new side competition when a team falls behind by a set number of holes — presses can stack for big swings.

Groups that want one clean competition decided by total score.

Lowest total strokes (or net strokes in Net mode) across the full round wins. Supports Auto-Press — when a team falls behind by a set number of strokes, a new competition starts automatically from that point.

Groups that want hole-by-hole drama with a clear leader/trailer dynamic.

Win a hole by posting the lower score. The team that wins more holes wins the match. The margin never matters — winning 4-to-8 counts the same as 4-to-3. The match can end early if a team goes up by more holes than remain. Auto-Press supported.

Four-player groups who want more variety than straight Vegas.

Two points are available every hole. Low Ball (1 pt) goes to the team whose individual player posts the single lowest score. Low Total (1 pt) goes to the team with the lower combined score. Tied points carry over and stack — a string of halved holes can build a big pot on a single hole.

Higher-handicap groups, charity events, or anyone who wants team camaraderie.

All players tee off. The team selects the best drive and everyone plays from that spot — repeat until holed. One shared team score per hole. In the app, entering any player's score automatically copies to all teammates.

Groups that want Scramble camaraderie but individual accountability after the tee.

Everyone tees off and the best drive is selected — just like Scramble. From that point, each player plays their own ball for the rest of the hole. The team's score is the lowest individual score among all players on the team.

Serious golfers who want the purest team format in the game — used in the Ryder Cup.

Two-person teams share one ball. Partners alternate shots the entire hole. Player 1 tees off on odd holes, Player 2 on even holes. The app shows a banner each hole reminding you whose turn it is to drive. Scores auto-copy within the team.

Groups that love Alternate Shot but want everyone to hit a tee shot every hole.

Both partners tee off on every hole. The team selects the best drive. The player whose drive was not selected hits the second shot, and they alternate from there until holed. More forgiving than standard Alternate Shot — a bad tee shot doesn't eliminate your contribution.

Any group of 4 that wants strategy, psychology, and individual glory all in one game.

Players rotate as the Wolf each hole. The three non-Wolf players tee off one at a time. After each drive — before the next player hits — the Wolf can pick that player as a partner. After all three hit, the Wolf can go alone for double stakes, or play 2v2 with their chosen partner.

Exactly 4 players who want teams to change every hole for maximum chaos.

Every hole, all four players tee off. After drives land, the two balls furthest Left form one team and the two furthest Right form the other. Normal Vegas scoring then applies — two-digit combined numbers, birdie flip, eagle double. Teams change every hole.

Exactly 5 players who want LR Vegas with a twist.

Same as LR Vegas but with 5 players — the middle drive creates a Center player who chooses which team to join, creating a 3v2 each hole. The 3-man team uses their best 2 scores for their Vegas number. Payouts are asymmetric: the 2-man team wins more per player if they pull off the upset.

Any group size. One of the most popular games in recreational golf.

Each hole is worth one skin. The player with the outright lowest score wins it. If two or more players tie, no one wins and the skin carries over to the next hole. Carryovers stack — a string of tied holes can produce a massive skin worth many times the base amount.

Three or four players who want individual competition on every hole.

9 points are distributed each hole by score rank: best score gets 5, middle gets 3, worst gets 1 (with 4 players: 5/3/1/0). Ties split the points for those positions equally. Points accumulate all round; net point differences settle between all players at the end.

3–6 players who want a roaming game that shifts momentum hole by hole.

The rabbit is a prize that changes hands throughout the round. The player who wins a hole outright captures it. It stays with them until someone else wins a hole outright, stealing it. Whoever holds the rabbit at the end of the front 9 wins the front 9 prize; same for the back 9.

Mixed-ability groups. A great leveler for handicap gaps.

Three points per hole: Bingo goes to the first player on the green, Bango to the player closest to the pin once all balls are on the green, and Bongo to the first player to hole out. Points tracked manually. Higher-handicap players hit first and can earn Bingo before better players.

Players who want a points-based format that rewards birdies and punishes disasters less.

Points awarded per hole relative to par: Eagle+ = 4 pts, Birdie = 3 pts, Par = 2 pts, Bogey = 1 pt, Double bogey or worse = 0 pts. Most points at the end wins. Double bogeys and worse all score zero — there's no benefit to grinding out a triple over a double.

Any group — pairs perfectly as an add-on alongside any other game.

On every par 3, the player whose tee shot finishes closest to the pin earns a greenie and collects from every other player. If no one hits the green in regulation, no greenie is awarded. Greenies stack independently across all par 3s.

Two players with a history of playing together who want a skill-adjusted 1-on-1.

A head-to-head game over two 9-hole segments. The Giver gives a flat number of strokes per 9 to the Receiver. After the front 9 settles, the handicap automatically adjusts based on results. The app remembers your history and suggests a starting handicap for future rematches.

Any group that wants a low-stakes running penalty to keep everyone focused on putting.

The Snake is a "hot potato" — the first player to three-putt becomes the Snake holder. It stays with them until another player three-putts, stealing it. Whoever holds the Snake at the end of the round owes the entry amount to every other player.

Groups who want a rotating 1-vs-all format with variable stakes each hole.

One player is designated the Banker each hole, rotating through the group. The Banker sets the point value for that hole, then plays against every other player individually. If the Banker wins, they collect from all; if they lose, they pay all. The Banker can double the stakes before teeing off, adding a risk/reward decision on every hole.

Handicap groups who want a points-based format that rewards playing above your level.

Each player is assigned a quota based on their handicap (typically 36 minus handicap). Points are earned each hole: Bogey = 1, Par = 2, Birdie = 4, Eagle = 8. Players who exceed their quota win; those who fall short lose. The margin above or below quota determines the payout.
