Official Bar Golf Rules
The Basics
You must be at least 21 to participate. You must register with Bar Golf USA to be officially on one of our Pub Crawls.
There are 9 bars each representing a "hole". You have 45 minutes at each bar. Your objective is simple, to play all 9 holes on the course.The goal is not to lose points. How you lose points and gain points are listed below under the Points System. A drink is considered to be a glass of water, beer, or soda (No Alcohol).You must keep track of your score on your BGA shirt that has a score card back. To do this you will need a partner/caddy.  Caddy is the person who  gives insightful advice, signs your score card, and gives moral support. The ultimate goal is to get out of the house, meet new people, and wear the most goofy golf outfit you can find! Please Drink Responsibly and Don’t Drink and Drive.
You're on the honor system, don't cheat!
