The Wolf Game

The Wolf Game is one of the most exciting and strategic golf formats where every hole is a new challenge. Players take turns being the “Wolf” and decide whether to team up with another player or go solo to win the hole.

What is Wolf Game?

Wolf is a four-player golf game that blends strategy, teamwork, and risk. On each hole, one player is the “Wolf” who decides whether to partner with another golfer after seeing their tee shots—or play alone against everyone else. The goal is to win the most points by winning holes, either solo or with a chosen partner.
