What is Bingo Bango Bongo?

It's one of the most popular side games for casual golfers because anyone can win. It’s not about having the lowest score, but about winning points for specific achievements on each hole.

    1 point for the first player to get their ball on the green.

    1 point for the player closest to the pin once everyone is on the green.

  • Bo

    1 point for the first player to hole out (putt the ball in the cup).

How to Score Bingo Bango Bongo

The game sounds simple, but tracking who did what on every hole gets tricky. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Bingo

The first player whose ball comes to rest on the putting surface gets the Bingo point. Multiple players can get it if they land on the green on the same stroke.

2. Bango

Once all players are on the green, the player whose ball is closest to the pin earns the Bango point. Only one player can win this.

3. Bongo

The first player to get their ball in the hole wins the Bongo point. Again, only one winner per hole.

4. Track Points

Tally up the points at the end of the round. The player with the most points wins the game (and the bragging rights).

Why It Gets Confusing During a Round

You're there to play golf, not to be an accountant. Keeping track of three different points for four different people across 18 holes is a recipe for arguments.

  • Hard to remember who got what point on which hole.
  • Constant mid-hole debates slow down play.
  • Paper scorecards get messy and hard to read.
  • Most golf apps are too complicated and built for serious stroke play.
