How to Play Golf (Card Game)
Sep 15th 2012, 16:00

Golf isn't just a matter of courses and balls––it's also fun card game that can be played with two or more people. You begin with two decks (they don't have to match) and can add more if you get a lot of players. Follow these instructions to learn how to play the card game Golf!

Edit Steps

  1. Start by recording every player's name in a separate column on a fresh piece of paper. This is your scoring sheet. Next, shuffle the decks you're using. If you're using several, you might want to shuffle the decks in separate piles and combine them later. Have someone deal out nine cards to each player. Do not look at your cards yet.
  2. Have each player arrange their cards in a grid pattern of 3 x 3. Ask each person to flip up three of their cards (whichever they choose; see the Tips section for more details). Now, flip over the top card of the remaining deck and place it next to the deck.
  3. The person left of the dealer starts. The object of the game is to get the lowest score you can. Ace is 1, then the numbers follow order for points. Jacks are 11, Queens are 12, Kings are 13, and Jokers are -3 (not wild!). The round ends once someone flips up all of their cards. After that, everyone else gets one more round before they flip their own cards. Then points are added.
  4. The game starts with the first person looking at the face-up card in the discard pile. If it will benefit them, they can take it and replace any card they have, including the face-down ones. How this works is that they choose the card they want to replace and then put the acquired card in its place and the removed card on the top of the discard pile, facing up. You may not look at your cards until after the round has ended or until you replace them. Then, the next person does the same, and can take your discarded card if they choose. The second option is to pull the top card off the face down deck and look at it. If they like this card, they may replace one of their cards in the same way. If not, they place it on the discard pile and move on.
  5. Another object in this game is to get three of the same card in one column. No matter what the card is, if a player has an entire column of it, they stack the column up and place it at the bottom of the discard pile. This column now equals zero. (See Tips.) This is the easiest way to lower your points.
  6. Once one person has flipped up their last card, each person after them gets one more turn, in which game play proceeds as normal. After everyone has had their turn, each person adds up their points using the numbering system above. If the person who flipped up their last card first does not have the lowest score, they incur upon themselves a 15-point penalty.
  7. A score is written under each player's column and the next round is started, usually until someone reaches a total of 100 or 200 points. At this point, whoever has the lowest score wins.

Edit Tips

  • When choosing your three cards to flip up, it is most advantageous to flip up one from each column.
  • It is not advisable to attempt to get three in a column of jokers. Also, if you get a joker from the deck, do not place it in a column that you are working towards getting three in a row of.
  • If you start off with three extremely high point cards showing, you can replace these with smaller cards as you wish. In fact, it is advisable to always replace any high cards with smaller ones, unless you are going for three in a column.

Edit Things You'll Need

  • 2 or more standard 52-card decks (if playing with four or more people, three decks is advisable)
  • Paper
  • Pen or pencil
