Side Games

Play Wolf, Skins, and Nassau side games within your group — with live consoles and automatic settlement.

Add some friendly competition to your group rounds with built-in side games. Fairway Buddies tracks Wolf, Skins, and Nassau alongside your normal scoring — with live consoles and automatic settlement.

Wolf

The classic Wolf format: players take turns being the Wolf, who chooses to go alone or pick a partner after each tee shot. Win, lose, or halve the hole — the app tracks points automatically based on the Wolf's decisions and the net results.

Skins

Skins with optional carryovers: each hole is worth a skin, and if no one wins it outright, the value carries to the next hole. Configure the per-skin value and whether carryovers are enabled. The live console shows the running pot and who's won what.

Nassau

The traditional three-part bet: front nine, back nine, and overall 18. Set the base stake per segment and the press rules (auto-press or manual). The app tracks each segment independently and calculates the settlement automatically.

Live Consoles

Each side game has its own live console showing the current state — whose turn it is, running totals, and what's at stake on the current hole. No spreadsheets or mental maths required.

Player Selection

Pick which players in your group are participating in each side game. Not everyone has to play every side game — you can run different games for different subsets of the group.

Automatic Settlement

When the round is done, the app calculates who owes what to whom and presents a clean settlement summary. No arguments, no maths errors — just the final numbers.
