In a Best Ball (or Four-Ball) format, each player on a team plays their own ball throughout the round, and the best score among the team members on each hole is used for the team’s score. This format balances individual play with team strategy and allows players to rely on their teammates’ strengths while still showcasing their own skills. It’s ideal for a group of friends or mixed ability levels.

So even if you stay in the same match for the whole round, there will be plenty of action.
