WOLF SCORING & POINTS.

NO SINGLE RIGHT WAY

There's no one "correct" way to play Wolf — every group has its own point values and quirks built up over years on the back of a scorecard. The scoring below is a common starting point, but the real answer is whatever your table agrees on. The app bends to fit it.

A COMMON POINT SYSTEM

Many groups play a variation of this:

• ▸Wolf + partner win the hole: 2 points each
• ▸The Hunters win: 3 points each
• ▸Lone Wolf wins: 4 points
• ▸Anyone beats the Lone Wolf: 1 point each (except the Wolf)

A tie scores zero by default — unless you turn on carryover, which rolls the points into the next hole instead.

WHAT YOU CAN SET

• ▸Point values for every outcome — wolf team, the Hunters, Lone Wolf, and the side that beats a Lone Wolf.
• ▸The Lone and Blind Wolf multipliers, up to 5× each.
• ▸Individual-low scoring or team totals — whichever decides the hole for your group.
• ▸Points only, or a dollar value per point for automatic settle-up at the end.

POINTS OR MONEY

Keep it friendly with points only, or assign a dollar value per point and let the app tally who owes what the moment the last putt drops — no Venmo math on the 18th green. Whatever your group settles on, the points you kept do the work.

TWO WAYS TO SETTLE UP

Every Wolf crew squares up a little differently, so the app gives you both ways to split the cash — switch between them right on the results screen if the group changes its mind:

• ▸One Winner — The leader collects each other player's gap to the top; ties for first split the pot. Mildest on last place, easiest to explain.
• ▸Pay the Difference — Traditional Wolf — every player settles their point difference with every other player, netted out. Strong finishers can break even; last place really loses.

Both methods are derived from the points you already kept, so switching is instant and nothing gets re-entered. Tap any player to see exactly who they collect from and who they pay. Hidden automatically in points-only rounds, where there's no money to split.

SET IT ONCE

Whatever your group has been doing for years, set it here once and forget it. Copy previous game carries all your point values and scoring settings into the next round, so your house rules travel with you. Tune the calls in Lone & Blind Wolf and the full rotation in the Wolf rules.

COMMON QUESTIONS

How do you score Wolf golf?

Each hole, the winning side earns points based on the call. A common system: Wolf and partner win 2 points each, the Hunters win 3 points each, a Lone Wolf who wins takes 4, and players who beat a Lone Wolf get 1 each. Highest total at the end wins — but every value is yours to set.

Can I customize the points in the app?

Yes. Set what every outcome is worth — wolf team, the Hunters, Lone Wolf, the team that beats a Lone Wolf, and the Lone and Blind Wolf multipliers. Choose individual-low or team-total scoring to match how your group plays.

How do payouts work?

Play for points only, or assign a dollar value per point and the app tallies the settle-up automatically at the end. Pick One Winner, where the leader collects each other player's gap to the top, or Pay the Difference — traditional Wolf, where every player squares up with every other by the points between them. Switch between the two right on the results screen.

Do my settings carry over to the next round?

Yes. 'Copy previous game' brings all your point values and scoring settings into the next round, so you set your house rules once and play them forever.
