Yes, stroke play and match play can be played simultaneously on a Golf course, but they require careful management to avoid confusion. Players in a stroke play format keep individual scores over 18 holes, while match play focuses on head-to-head competition, with each hole played as a separate contest. To accommodate both formats, it's essential to have clear communication and designated areas on the course for each group. However, combining them in the same round may complicate scoring and pace of play.
You are allowed to play the course prior to a match play round, but not prior to a stroke play round. Penalty for playing the course prior to a stroke play competition is disqualification.

This kind of match play bracket is typical of match play championships such as the U.S. Amateur or U.S. Public Links Championship. To qualify for match play, players must first compete in a preliminary stroke play competition (after qualifying through local and sectional rounds). The top 64 scores (playoffs for final spots) are entered into the first round of match play.
Breaking the rules of golf either result in a one or two shot penalty or disqualification in stroke play and a loss of hole in match play.
