Game Rules

Tee Position

Begin at the appropriate tee line:

  • Upper Tee Line: Holes 1, 3, 5, 7, 9
  • Middle Tee Line: Holes 2, 4, 6, 8

Many players prefer to take their second shot of the drink from where the first shot landed.

Inconclusive Scores

  1. When in doubt, take the higher (or worse) of the two scores.
  2. Score the hole as soon as you put the glass down. Do not wait for the foam to dissipate and the drink line to rise.
  3. If the shot is "out of bounds" or not on any numbered area, then take 2x the par for the hole.

Required Beverage

You do not have to play with beer - Beer Golf can be played with any beverage!

Please drink responsibly.
