Printable Golf Scorecards: Free PDFs and Game-Specific Cards

Tony Miles Avatar

Printable golf scorecards, one per game. Every golf game on this site has its own scoring quirks, and a normal scorecard has no room for them. These cards do. Each one is built for a single game, with that game’s rows already printed, so nobody is drawing columns on the back of a receipt at the turn.

All of them are 8.5″ × 11″ PDFs. Print at home on plain paper, fold once, and the nine you are playing faces up on the cart wheel.

Start with three free golf scorecards

These three are free, permanently. They are a preview of the full library and they are also the three most popular games on the site, so they are the ones most people want first.

No catch and no payment. Add one to your cart, enter an email, and it downloads. They print exactly like the paid cards, at the same quality, with nothing held back.

Find the right scorecard for your game

Most people arrive knowing how many are playing and roughly what kind of game they want, rather than the name of a format. These groupings work that way round.

Scorecards for two players

Partner formats where two of you share a ball or play your own and take the better one.

Alternate Shot, Greensomes, Gruesomes, Chapman, Best Ball, Match Play, Daytona.

Scorecards for three players

The awkward number. These games are built for a threesome, so nobody sits out and the points always divide cleanly.

Nines, Split Sixes, Defender, The King’s Honors, 6-6-6.

Scorecards for four players

Full-group games, most with rotating partners or teams that change hole to hole.

Wolf, Bingo Bango Bongo, Vegas, Hammer, Sixes, Cha Cha Cha, Aggregate, Best To Next.

Golf betting game scorecards

Games played for money, where the card has to survive the argument on the 18th green. Each one carries a settle-up table so the maths is done before anyone reaches the car park.

Skins, Nassau, Banker, Acey Deucey, Bogey Tax, Rabbit, The Bounty, Bundle, 18 Chips, Three Fingers, Wingman, Draft 18, Bisque.

Points-based golf scorecards

Stableford-style formats where you score points rather than strokes, so a blow-up hole costs you one bad number instead of your round.

Stableford, Modified Stableford, Quota, Chicago.

Why not just print a blank golf scorecard?

You can, and for stroke play a blank card is all you need. The trouble starts the moment the game has any structure of its own.

A blank golf scorecard template gives you eighteen columns and four rows of strokes. It has nowhere to record who was Wolf, which team took the hammer, how many skins carried over, or what the running pot is up to. So somebody improvises: a column drawn in the margin, initials nobody can read by the 14th, and a disagreement at the end about what a scribble meant.

Every card here starts from the same stroke grid you already know, then adds the rows that particular game actually needs, and finishes with a settle-up table so the money is worked out on the card rather than in the car park. Nothing to draw, nothing to remember, and no arguments that start with “wait, what did we write here?”

What is on every card

Whichever game you pick, the layout is the same, so a group that plays a different format every week is never relearning the card:

  • A full 18-hole stroke grid, with yardage, par and stroke index rows, because people still keep their own score
  • The game’s own scoring rows, printed where they belong rather than squeezed into a margin
  • The scoring key on both halves, so each folded face works as a standalone card
  • A settle-up table on games played for money
  • A QR code to the full written rules, for the inevitable dispute
  • Space for course, date, tees and player names, typed in before printing or written on the tee

Questions

What do I actually get?

A PDF. It downloads straight after checkout and stays in your account, so you can print it again next season without paying twice.

How does it fold?

Once, across the middle. The front nine is on the top half and the back nine on the bottom, so folding it puts the nine you are playing face up. There is a dashed line printed where it folds, and it clips to a cart wheel at that fold.

Do I need a special printer or paper?

No. Plain letter paper on any home printer. Print at 100%, not “fit to page”, and everything stays inside the margins.

What does “future cards included” mean?

New cards get added to this library regularly. If you own the collection, they appear in your account as they are released, and you are never billed again. If the library is ever discontinued, you keep everything released up to that point.

Can I use these for a tournament or my league?

Yes. Print as many as you need and hand them out. The one thing not allowed is passing around the PDF file itself, or selling printed copies. Full detail is in the terms.
