How to Play Stroke Play or Stableford

Hole19 can score your round two ways. Pick one before you tee off, or change your mind halfway round.

Both are free on every plan.

 

Which one is which

  • Stroke Play counts the total strokes you take across the round. Lowest score wins, the way most golf is scored.

  • Stableford gives you points on each hole depending on how you score against par. Highest total wins. A blow-up hole costs you far less than it does in Stroke Play, which is why many club competitions use it.

 

Choosing Before You Start

  • Pick your course and open Round Settings.
  • Scroll down to the Scoring Mode toggle.
  • Choose Stroke Play or Stableford.
