Best Ball Stableford is one of the many team game formats available in our app, Golf GameBook.
The Best Ball format, designed for teams of 3-5 players, is a popular choice for friendly matches. In this format, each player plays their own ball from tee to green on every hole, independently managing their own game. The team’s score for each hole is determined by selecting the best score on each hole from 1 to 5 players (depending on the group size).
Scoring with the Stableford System
In Best Ball Stableford, scoring utilizes the Stableford system, which awards points based on the number of strokes taken relative to par (net score). Points are earned as follows: 0 for double bogey or worse, 1 for bogey, 2 for par, 3 for birdie, 4 for eagle, and 5 for albatross. The highest point total among the team members on each hole becomes the team’s score, promoting dynamic and strategic gameplay where the performances of all players are crucial.
