Dice Golf - Drinking Game Rules & How to Play
Dice Golf is a drinking game in the Dice Games category for 2-6 players that takes about 20-30 min with a easy difficulty level.
9 holes of dice rolling golf
Equipment Needed
Setup
Start by writing the names of each 'hole' on a scorecard, assigning a par value (e.g., Par 3, Par 4) for all nine holes. Place the scorecard in the center of the group, along with one or more six-sided dice for rolling. Keep drinks within reach for everyone to ensure quick penalties can be paid during the game.
How to Play Dice Golf
- 9 holes, each has a par
- Roll to match par number
- Over par = drink per stroke
- Under par = assign drinks
- Hole in one = assign 5
- Lowest total score wins
- Loser drinks difference
- Steady rolling
Tips & Strategies
Don't underestimate the importance of rolling steadily; rushing increases the odds you'll overshoot par and end up drinking more than you expected. If you roll under par, think carefully about who to assign drinks to; targeting higher rollers can shift them closer to losing. Hole in one opportunities are rare, but if the par is low (e.g., 2), aim carefully and roll a single high-stakes shot rather than going safe. Keep track of your total score closely,you don't want to lose purely because you forgot to strategize on later holes.
Variations
Double Bogey Madness: Any roll that is double over par requires two drinks per stroke instead of one.. Reverse Golf: Under par results in drinks for the roller instead of being assigned,low scores become risky instead of beneficial.. Par Challenge: Rolls exactly matching par allow the roller to assign one drink to another player and then skip their own turn for the next hole.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What happens if I roll exactly par?
- Rolling par means your score stays unchanged for that hole, and you drink nothing for yourself unless variations like 'Par Challenge' are added.
- What do I do if two players tie for lowest score?
- In a tie for lowest score, the tied players each assign two drinks to other players as a tiebreaker.
- Can we set custom par values?
- Yes, you can adjust the par values for each hole before starting, but keep them balanced to make the game fair for everyone.
- What if someone won’t drink their penalty drinks?
- If someone refuses to drink, they can be skipped for future rolls or, by group vote, have their total score penalized by adding 5 strokes per missed drink.
