DescriptionHow to Play the Game


The Setup Normally played as an outdoor game, Ladder Golf has two teams of as many players needed on the day. Before they start to throw the bolas at the ladder there must be a toss line established. This is generally recognized as 15 feet, but a good 5 paces or so should be fine. The distance established is really more important for who is taking part rather than an exact measure. So for example for the young ones a much shorter distance is going to improve their enjoyment of the game rather than having them attempt the throw from the adults line. The Teams The game is played in rounds, with each round made up of team members throwing each of their three bolas at the ladder. A coin toss is used to decide which player or team will throw first. The first player must throw all three bolas before the next player is able to throw their bolas.

The Throw Bolas can be thrown in any manner a team member player chooses, as long as they are thrown individually. The bola doesn’t need a direct hit, bounces off the ground are allowed. Although a variation to this we have played, to make it more of a challenge for those more proficient at the game, is to only allow direct hits to count.

The Allocation of Points Points are determined by which step your bola wraps around. The top step is worth 3 points the middle step is worth 2 points and the bottom step is only worth 1 point. Players can score an optional bonus of 1 point by hanging all 3 bolas from the same step or by hanging a bola on all 3 (1-2-3) steps in one round. The highest amount of points available per player is 10. This is accomplished by hanging all 3 bolas on the top (3 point) step. After all players have thrown all their bolas, scoring is determined by the bolas that are still hanging from the steps of the ladder. Team members can knock-off bolas during the course of the game, in fact knocking-off the opposition team members’ bolas is encouraged and a good way to play defensively. Bolas that are knocked off during play do not count as points. The Winner The winner of a round earns the right to the first throw in the subsequent round. Games are played to a total round of 21 points, of which a team member must achieve exactly 21 points to win the round. If the 21 points are exceeded then that team members score does not count for the team in that round.
