Best Answer

At club level it is simply a collection of members playing the course and trying to shoot the best nett and gross scores. The two main types are stroke play where the players use one ball and record the amount of strokes used to complete all 18 holes. Stableford is where points are calculated using the difficulty of the hole for that player as determined by their handicap, set against the score they had on that hole.
