Golf Wolf Game Format
Wolf is a popular golf side game where players rotate as the Wolf and decide whether to choose a partner or play the hole alone.
How Wolf Works
Wolf is usually played with four players. On each hole, one player is the Wolf. The Wolf watches the other players tee off and decides whether to choose a partner or play alone against the group.
The Wolf position rotates from hole to hole so every player gets chances to control the game.
Rotating Wolf
Each player takes turns being the Wolf throughout the round.
