Printable mini golf scorecard
A pencil card works in sun and rain. A phone card adds for you and keeps names readable. Use whichever the group will actually fill in.
This site is the phone card, and print CSS is there if you want a paper copy of the same grid. Posted course cards still beat anything you invent at home.
Paper vs phone
| Need | Paper | Phone (this site) |
|---|---|---|
| Works in bright sun | Yes | Sometimes harder to see |
| Survives a splash | Usually | Risky near water hazards |
| Adds totals for you | No | Yes — footer running totals |
| Names stay readable | If handwriting cooperates | Typed columns |
| Cap clamp | You remember | Card can clamp above 6/7 |
| Share later | Photo the sheet | Saved in this browser |
Neither format is "more official." The winning format is the one that gets filled in before the next tee.
What to write on a paper card
Before hole 1, put the house rules on the top margin so nobody has to remember them on hole 8:
- Player names — one column each (first names are enough).
- Stroke cap — 6 or 7, matching the sign or your group's call.
- Mulligan count — "off" or a fixed number per player.
- Holes — 9 or 18, whatever the course built.
- Optional note — "OB = ask counter" if the sign was silent.
Then write one number per hole, pick up at the cap, and add at the end. Lowest total wins. Ties stay ties unless you already agreed a playoff hole.
Print this site's grid
Open the browser / scorecard, set players and cap, then use your browser's print dialog. Print CSS is built for a clean grid, same idea as a shop pencil card, without inventing course names, hours, or prices.
If you only need the 30-second speech, read /rules out loud first. For the full scoring walkthrough, see /how-to-score.
Keep it casual
Do not invent tournament overlays on a family card. Do not dual-score stroke play and match play on the same sheet. Write strokes, honor the cap, and move. That is enough for a leisurely mini golf night.
