Bingo, Bango, Bongo: A Fun Golf Game Guide

Looking for a golf game where shooting 100 can still beat your mate’s 72? 

Welcome to Bingo, Bango, Bongo — the fast, strategic golf game where every shot can score, and low handicaps don’t guarantee the win. 

Perfect for all skill levels, this format rewards timing, smart play and accuracy — not just low scores.

Every hole has 3 points available:

• Bingo – 1 Point 

That’s 3 points per hole, regardless of par. 

Play your normal stroke play round — but track points instead of (or alongside) gross scores.

Bingo 

First player to hit the green wins the Bingo point. 

It doesn’t matter how many shots it took — whoever lands on the green first gets the point. 

Strategy tip: 
Smashing driver isn’t always the play. On a Par 4 or 5, being slightly further back can give you the advantage of hitting onto the green first. 

Bango 

Once everyone is on the green, the player closest to the pin wins the Bango point. 

Strategy tip: 
If your opponent has already secured Bingo, do you: 

Smart decision-making is key. 

Bongo 

The first player to hole out wins the final point. 

It doesn’t matter how many putts — first in the hole takes it. 

Strategy tip: 
Do you go for the glory putt to secure the point? 
Or play it safe and risk losing out? 

Play in correct order at all times. 

The player furthest from the hole always plays first — including on the green. 

This rule is essential. 
Break the order, and you lose the strategic edge of the game. 

At the end of 18 holes: 

Simple. 

To raise the stakes: 

If you’re ready to turn every shot into a scoring opportunity, add Bingo, Bango, Bongo to your next round. 

Low scores don’t win this game. 
Smart golf does.
