Golf Games For Single Players<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are some great golf course games that can be played by yourself. Some of them could be played with more than 1 person as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Ball<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the most common golf course game that a single golfer would play. All you have to do is hit 2 or 3 balls each hole and only count the best score. You often hit the second ball much better and it really helps you improve your game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worst Ball<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you want a slightly more challenging version of Best Ball you can flip it around and play Worst Ball. It\u2019s very similar but all you have to do is hit 2 or 3 balls each hole and count the worst score. See if you can still get your normal score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herman & Sherman<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a little bit of a more advanced golf game (but it is actually really fun). All you have to do is play holes 1 & 2 with a draw for each shot. Then, play hole 3 & 4 with a fade for each shot. Hard, yes (but challenging).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Golf Games For 2 Players<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here are all of the 2 player golf matches I could find. Some of them can be played with more than 2 people as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stroke Play<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the classic game of golf. You count the number of strokes it takes to finish a hole and the person with the lowest score wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skins<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This can be done in groups of 2, 3, or 4. Instead of playing the lowest overall score wins, instead, you get a point for each hole you win. If you win a hole you get 1 point. If the hole is tied you carry that point to the next hole (which is worth 2 points and so on). The player with the most skins (points won) by the end of the round is the winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stableford<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This can be done in groups of 2 or more. This is similar to stroke play but instead of having a score based on the Par of the course you earn points for the score you get. You get 1 point for a bogey, 2 points for a par, 3 points for a birdie, 4 points for an eagle, and 5 points for the all mighty hole-in-one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stringball<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This can be done in groups of 2, 3, or 4. This is a pretty interesting one and you\u2019ll need to bring scissors and string. You\u2019ll need to first figure out everyone\u2019s handicap. Next, if someone is a 10 handicap you\u2019ll give them 10 feet of string. You can then move your ball and cut that much of string off (for getting out of hazards and bad lies). You can even get a foot of string back with every birdie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
