What are the best golf games for 5 players?

General Discussion
1

I’m looking for some fun golf games that we can play with our group of five. It can be tough to find games that accommodate an odd number of players without it getting awkward or unfair. I’ve heard of a few like Wolf, Stableford, and Skins, but I’m not entirely sure how they work or if they’re enjoyable for everyone involved.

Here’s what I’m hoping to find:

  • Rules and explanations: How do these games work? Are there any specific variations for five players?
  • Engagement tips: How can we keep it competitive and engaging for everyone?
  • Recommendations: Are there any other games or formats you’ve tried that work particularly well in a five-player setting?

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions and experiences!

I recommend checking out ‘Golf With Your Friends’. It’s super fun and supports up to 12 players, so 5 is a breeze! The mini-golf courses are creative and make for a great time with friends.

Absolutely agree! I love the customization options in ‘Golf With Your Friends’. Each game feels unique, and it’s perfect for laughs and competition!

For a more competitive vibe, try ‘PGA Tour 2K21’. It features realistic mechanics and great courses. Just be prepared for some serious playtime!

While ‘PGA Tour 2K21’ is awesome, I feel it’s a bit technical for my friends who just want to have fun. Anyone else feel this way? How’s the learning curve?

I think ‘PGA Tour 2K21’ is indeed more serious. It might require a bit of practice for casual players, but the depth is rewarding!

I’ve had a blast playing ‘Wii Sports Golf’! It’s easy to learn and perfect for a group, plus you can really get silly with the controls. Anyone else played it recently?

Totally! ‘Wii Sports Golf’ brings back so many memories. It’s great for some lighthearted fun without taking it too seriously.

For something different, have you tried ‘Golf Battle’? It’s a mobile game that’s quick and can handle five players easily. Great for on-the-go gaming!

I haven’t tried ‘Golf Battle’ yet, but it sounds intriguing! Is it just mini-golf or more traditional paths?

‘Golf Battle’ is mostly mini-golf with some quirky twists. I enjoyed how fast-paced it is—perfect for casual gaming with friends!

Yes! The custom courses in ‘The Golf Club’ are fantastic. I love how creative the community can get with them!

When playing golf with five players, a great option is to set up a modified team format, such as 2 vs. 3. This could create an interesting dynamic! Everyone will have a chance to contribute.

I love the idea of 2 vs. 3! You could also try a mixed format, like alternating players each hole. Keeps things fresh!

Don’t overlook the possibility of stroke play! Each player competes individually, but you can score as a team based on the total strokes. It can lead to some competitive fun!

19

I agree! However, it can be tough if one player has a bad day. Team support can make a big difference!

Another format to consider is a scramble! Everyone hits a shot, and you choose the best one to play from. It encourages collaboration and can make even novice players feel involved!
