What is Wolf?

Wolf is a rotating Side Game where one golfer becomes the Wolf on each hole.

The Wolf decides whether to team up with another player or play the hole alone.


How does Wolf work?

Before the round, the order of play is set manually or by the app.

The Wolf rotates each hole based on that order. Each golfer gets a turn as the Wolf during the round.

On each hole, the Wolf watches players tee off and decides whether to choose a partner or go alone.


What can the Wolf choose?

The Wolf may be able to choose:

Choice What it means
Pick a partner The Wolf teams up with another golfer for the hole
Lone Wolf The Wolf plays alone against the other players
Blind Wolf The Wolf declares they are playing alone before anyone tees off

Lone Wolf and Blind Wolf usually carry more risk and more reward.


How do I assign the Wolf?

To assign the Wolf during a round:

  1. Start a Wolf game.
  2. From the GPS screen, tap the Group icon.
  3. Tap Assign Wolf.
  4. Follow the prompts to assign the Wolf and teams for the hole.

How does Wolf scoring work?

Scoring depends on whether the Wolf chooses a partner, goes alone, or declares Blind Wolf.

In general:

  • A Wolf with a partner plays as a team against the other players.
  • A Lone Wolf plays alone against the group.
  • A Blind Wolf plays alone with a larger risk and reward.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many players do I need for Wolf?

Wolf is usually best with four players.

Available setup options may vary by app version and group size.

Can the Wolf pick a player after passing on them?

No. Once the Wolf passes on a player, they usually cannot go back and choose that player later on the same hole.

What is a Lone Wolf?

A Lone Wolf chooses to play the hole alone against the other players.

This can earn more points, but it also creates more risk.

What is a Blind Wolf?

A Blind Wolf declares they are playing alone before anyone tees off.

This is the boldest move in Wolf. Confidence required.

Can I change Wolf settings after starting the game?

Yes, where available.

From the GPS screen, tap the Group icon, tap Game Details, tap the three-dot menu, tap Game Settings, then tap Modify.

Available settings may vary once the game is in progress.
