Modified Stableford Scoring

The Modified Stableford scoring system gives golfers points on each hole, based on golfer's score relative to par.  It is designed to reward players for taking chances to go for birdies (or better), as the reward for a low score on a hole is typically greater than the punishment for a poor score.  The golfer's score on each hole is added for the round.  Holes in one are treated as the score relative to par (i.e. an ace on a par-3 hole would be considered an eagle).

The scoring system operates as follows:
 

  • Hole In One: +8
  • Double Eagle: +8
  • Eagle: +5
  • Birdie: +3
  • Par: +0
  • Bogey: -1
  • Double Bogey or worse: -3
