The Ultimate Guide to Golf Drinking Games

Golf and a cold beverage often go hand in hand, and adding a drinking game to your round can make the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're looking to liven up a casual round with friends or celebrate a special occasion on the course, on-course drinking games can add a fun twist to your golf outing. Here are some of the best on-course golf drinking games, complete with examples to help you get started.

Mulligan Madness

Overview: Mulligan madness is a fun drinking game where mulligans can be taken only after a drink is consumed.

How It Works:

Players can take as many mulligans as they want as long as they chug a beer (or equivalent) before taking the mulligan. This game requires a careful balance of mulligans and drunkenness to obtain the best score possible.

Drink Handicaps

Overview: this game incorporates drinking into the round by making each beer (or equivalent) equal to a stroke.

How it Works:

Throughout the round, keep a total of each beer drank by a player (or team). At the end of the round, the number of beers consumed is subtracted from the total score. If a player or team shoots, 84 but drank 12 beers, they’re final score is 72.

Ghost

Overview: Ghost is a fun game where each player is playing against themselves to give or take drinks.

How to Play:

After the first hole, each player plays against their score on the previous hole. If they beat their score, they get to give a drink to another player. If they don’t beat their score, they must take a drink.

Drinko, Dranko, Drunko

Overview: this game is a twist to the classic golf game – Bingo, Bango, Bongo

How it Works:

On each hole the following players must drink:

• The last player to reach the green.
• The player whose ball is furthest from the hole once all players reach the green.
• The last player to make a putt (make sure to putt in order).

Par 3 Challenge

Overview: this game is played on each par 3 with each player having to take a drink for every step (or yard) they are away from the closest player to the hole.

How it Works:

After each player hits their tee ball on a par 3, they will step off their distance (or use a range finder) to the player that is closest to the pin. The player with the closest shot, can take a break, while the other players must drink for every step they are away from the closest player.

Fore! Drinks

Overview: Fore! Drinks is an on course golf drinking game that combines drinking and golfing into a fun and hilarious game. Pick cards each hole to determine the drinking rules for that hole. Hit the longest drive or make the longest putt? You get to hand out drinks. Hit a tree or 3-putt? Take a drink. Grab a deck of Fore! Drinks and a 6 pack and get to your favorite course for an absolute blast.

How to Play:

• Determine what a ‘drink’ means, for example, a sip, 3 second chug, or whole beer.
• There are two types of cards:
• Fore! Rule Cards – determine the drinking rules for each hole.
• Fore! Give Cards – can be handed out throughout the round to make players drink.
• Before the round begins, deal out the Fore! Give cards to each player. If playing a foursome, each player will be dealt seven cards.
• Before teeing off each hole, a Fore! Rule card is randomly selected (any player can select) which will determine the drinking rules for that hole.
• Throughout the round, players can make other players drink by handing them a Fore! Give card when they complete the action on the card. Once a card is played, the player who it was played against gets to keep it and can then play it again.
• Have fun and drink responsibly!
