Nassau
The Classic Three-Bet Game
Three separate bets in one: Front 9, Back 9, and Overall 18. The most popular golf betting game because you can always win the back nine!
Skins
Winner Takes All
Win a hole outright, win the skin. Ties carry over to the next hole, building up dramatic pots. One of the most exciting formats in golf.
Match Play
Head-to-Head Battle
Compete hole-by-hole against your opponent. Win the hole, win a point. Supports both individual (1v1) and team (2v2) formats.
Wolf
Strategic Partnership Game
Each hole, one player is the Wolf who picks a partner or goes solo against the group. Risk vs reward decisions on every tee box.
Banker
Rotating House Game
One player is the "house" each hole and bets against the field. Features multiple betting phases and multiplier options.
Snake
Avoid the Three-Putt
Three-putt and you hold the snake. The player holding it at the end pays everyone. Encourages solid putting under pressure.
Nines
Point Distribution Game
Nine points distributed each hole (5-3-1) based on scores. Perfect for threesomes. Also known as "5-3-1" or "9 Points".
Sixes
Round Robin Partners
Partners rotate every 6 holes so everyone plays with everyone. Great for groups of 4 who want fair matchups throughout.
Vegas
Team Score Showdown
Two-person teams combine scores to create a two-digit number. Lower combined number wins the point differential.
Bingo Bango Bongo
First, Closest, In
Three points per hole: first on green, closest pin, first to hole out. Event-based scoring — no strokes counted.
Train
Ride the Streak
Board with a par, earn points hole-by-hole, lose everything if you derail. Pure momentum drama from start to finish.
