Golf, But Make It Fun: The Game Modes That Take Your Simulator Round Next Level

Let’s be honest: not every round of golf needs to be serious, strategic, or steeped in tradition. Sometimes you just want to swing freely, talk a bit of smack, and maybe, maybe prove you’re the best golfer in your friend group (even if your real handicap suggests otherwise).

On our simulators, you get to play the game your way. Classic, chaotic, competitive, or just completely unhinged, there’s a format for every vibe, mood, and ability level. Grab a drink, grab your mates, and pick your poison.

Let’s break down the modes you can choose from… and which ones you should pick if you enjoy laughing at your friends’ misfortunes.

⛳ Stroke Play – The No-Excuses Round

Think you're good? Like, actually good? Stroke play will tell the truth, no mercy, no mulligans, no “but the wind caught it.” Just you, your swing, and the scorecard that never lies. Perfect for purists and anyone desperate to settle an argument that’s been going on for years.

🔥 Match Play – The Rivalry Maker

Match play is all about winning holes, not piling up a respectable score. Blow up on a par 4? Doesn’t matter, next hole. It’s petty, it’s personal, and it’s the quickest way to find out who cracks under pressure when the hole is halved and your mate says, “Are you sure you want to give me that putt?”

🎯 Stableford – For the Risk-Takers & Reckless

Stableford is for golfers who live dangerously. Go for the green. Hit the hero shot. Try that ridiculous fade you definitely can’t do. A bad hole doesn’t ruin your round, which means the big hitters and the newbies can go full send without fear of writing a 12 on the card.

👊 Scramble – Chaos, But Make It Teamwork

Scramble is pure energy. Everyone tees off, pick the best ball, and go from there. It’s the ideal format for groups where abilities range from “I play every weekend” to “I’ve held a golf club twice in my life.”Expect cheering, chirping, and someone yelling, “THAT’S the one!” after a single decent drive.

🤝 Best Ball – A Gentle Team Format (For Now…)

Everyone plays their own ball, and the best score counts. Sounds calm and civilised… until one player becomes “the carry” and starts reminding everyone about it. Friendly, competitive, and very good for pairs who think they communicate well (spoiler: you don’t).

🔄 Alternate Shot – Couples Therapy, But With Clubs

Take turns hitting the same ball. Yes, really. This format will test your friendship, relationship, and ability to politely say, “It’s fine, totally fine,” after they’ve put you behind a tree. It’s chaotic, strategic, and always hilarious.

🎮 Challenges & Fun Modes – When You Just Need A Laugh

Don’t fancy a full round? No problem. Try:

• Long Drive showdowns

• Closest to the pin duels

• Target challenges

• Short course shootouts

These are perfect warm ups, late night competition fuel, or the ideal choice for groups who want more laughs than fairways hit.

Book Your Bay Before Someone Else Does

Why stick to the same old round when you can turn your night into a tournament, a rivalry, or straight up comedy? Our simulator bays are the perfect spot for practice, parties, first dates, work socials, and groups who like talking smack as much as they like playing golf.

Pick your format. Bring the Crew. Book your tee time and let the fun begin.
