Scoring System

Every stroke.
Every point.

Traditional fantasy golf scores only the final position. Fairway Fantasy scores every single hole your golfers play — plus momentum streaks that reward hot rounds and punish cold ones.

Base Points

Hole-by-hole scoring

Points are awarded instantly as each hole is completed. Better results earn more — and bad holes cost you.

Result Relative to Par Points

Albatross -3 +10

Hole-in-One Ace +10

Eagle -2 +6

Birdie -1 +3

Par E +1

Bogey +1 -1

Double Bogey +2 -2

Triple Bogey+ +3 or worse -3

Momentum Streaks

Streaks change everything

Consecutive birdies (or better) trigger escalating bonus points. Consecutive bogeys (or worse) trigger escalating penalties. Streaks reset when a neutral result (par) is scored.
