The right contest turns a good outing into an unforgettable one.
Here's what's included in our Blue Tees and Scratch Golf packages.
Our on-course contests add energy, friendly competition, and bragging rights to any outing.
We handle all the setup, scoring, and prizes — you just play.
Awarded to the golfer who hits the longest tee shot on each designated par-4 or par-5 holes. The ball must come to rest in the fairway to qualify — grip it and rip it, but keep it straight. Each player gets their shot during the round, and the longest measured drive at the end of the event wins.
Played on a designated par-3 hole, golfers compete to hit their tee shot closest to the hole. Distance is measured once all players in the group have hit. The player whose ball finishes closest to the pin at the end of the event wins — one or two designated holes can be set up during an 18-hole round.
Awarded to the golfer who makes the longest putt on a designated green — usually the final hole of the round. The putt must be holed in one continuous stroke without being conceded. Only putts made on the designated contest hole are eligible, and the longest successful putt recorded during the outing wins.
Beyond individual contests, the format you choose shapes the entire experience.
Here are a few we recommend for a fun and competitive round of golf for mixed skill levels.
Fast-paced and high-energy — the best shot always wins. Every player hits, the team picks the best ball, and everyone plays from that spot. This continues for every shot, including putts, until the ball is in the hole.
Every golfer plays their own ball into the hole for the entire round. At the end of each hole, the lowest score among teammates is recorded as the team score. If one player struggles, a teammate can save the hole with a birdie or par.
Widely considered the best game for a foursome. Players rotate being the "Wolf" each hole. The Wolf tees off first, then must decide after each player hits whether to partner with them — or wait for the next shot. The Wolf can also go "Lone Wolf" (1 vs. 3) for higher stakes.
The ultimate equalizer — rewards specific achievements rather than just the lowest score, making it perfect for mixed skill levels. Three points are available on every hole: Bingo (first on the green), Bango (closest to the pin once all are on), and Bongo (first to hole out).
The 18-hole round is split into three 6-hole matches. Partners rotate every six holes so every player partners with everyone in the group. Usually played as Best Ball for each segment. If your partner is struggling, a fresh start is never more than a few holes away.
A winner-takes-all format that's easy to track and highly competitive. Each hole is worth one skin. The player with the lowest outright score wins the skin. If there's a tie, no one wins — the skin carries over to the next hole. Carryovers can build into a massive prize won with one clutch putt.
