Vegas Golf Game: Rules & Scoring Explained
Vegas is a team game where you combine scores into a two-digit number. Learn the rules, the "flip," and how the points add up fast.
Vegas (a.k.a. Daytona) is a 2v2 team game where teammates combine their scores into a two-digit number, lower digit first — a 4 and a 5 become 45. The other team does the same; the difference between the two numbers is the points won that hole.
The flip: if a teammate makes a high number (like an 8), some groups reverse the digits so the bigger number goes first — a 4 and 8 become 84 instead of 48. Big numbers get punished, which makes Vegas swing fast.
Worked example (10¢/point): your team 4 and 5 = 45; opponents 5 and 6 = 56. In Vegas the lower number wins, so your team takes the hole by 11 — they owe you $1.10.
