Most rounds of golf start with the basic question, "what are we going to play?"  Below are our top 5 golf betting games or side games, and a brief highlight of the key rules for that game.  Visit our game page to learn more about these games and more, learn how golfwego can help you keep track of 40+ golf games throughout the round, and try out our digital scorecard for free.

Wolf

In Wolf, the first player to tee off is the Wolf and picks a teammate for the hole where the lowest score wins a point.  Players tee off in a rotating order, and the catch is that the Wolf must pick his partner before the subsequent golfer hits their tee shot.  Lone Wolf, or choosing yourself after you hit your tee shot, or Blind Lone Wolf, choosing yourself before you hit your tee shot, will double and triple your points for the hole!
 
Whether you have 3, 4, or 5 players, Wolf is a great golf game with action on every hole.  One under-utilized feature of Wolf is the ability to reject the Wolf and play the hole yourself as Lone Wolf!

Let it Ride can be difficult to score without GolfWeGo, but can be one of the most entertaining games in golf.  In Let it Ride, players earn points for bogey or better and have the choice each hole to Let it Ride and earn double the points on the next hole, or bank the points.  Make a double bogey or worse and all un-banked points are lost!

Aces and Deuces, or Acey Deucey, is a great game because while it rewards the best score on a hole, it also penalizes the worst. In Aces and Deuces, the Ace bet is won by the player with the lowest score on that hole and is paid by the remaining players. The Deuce bet is paid by the highest scoring player to the remaining players. Ties for either the Ace or Deuce result in no money won or lost for that bet.

Nassau is generally scored as three separate bets: the front nine, the back nine and the entire eighteen. For example, a $2 Nassau would pay $2 to the team with the most points for each of the three bets. Like any typical Match Play, the winner of each hole earns a point with no points carried or awarded in the case of a tie.

What makes a Nassau so much fun though, is the pressing!

Criss Cross is a golf game that gives you a second chance at every score. Players take their lowest score between each hole on the front nine and the corresponding hole on the back nine to make their best nine hole score. For example, the lowest score on 1 & 10, 2 & 11, 3 & 12, etc.. are each accumulated. There is no special consideration for the par of the hole, so if #1 is a par 3 and #10 is a par #5, you better score well on #1!
