Nothing is more distracting than pulling a crumpled scorecard from your pocket as you step onto the first tee and wondering, “Which hole is this?” That unassuming scorecard is really a navigational tool that tracks the rhythm of the round, strategic decisions, and friendly competition.Fail to enter the par value, Stroke Index (SI) ranking, total strokes, or Stableford points accurately for each hole, and the arguments will erupt on the 18th green. That’s why our free Golf Scorecard Templates from TypeCalendar transform the card from a simple grid of stroke counts into a pocket‑sized command center for the whole round.

Our Golf Scorecard Design Principles
Each template is crafted with equal attention to visual clarity, writing ergonomics, and on‑course flow. Rather than listing holes 1–18 in one row, we use a Front‑9 / Back‑9 block layout—so in a shotgun start, every group can instantly find its opening hole. Par and Stroke Index (SI) numbers appear in light gray, while the player grid stays bright white, keeping everything readable even under harsh sunlight. Stableford players will find a quick point‑conversion key beside the “Net Strokes” column, so there’s no need to pull out a calculator. Match play fans get a “Hole Won / Halved / Lost” box on the right—the colored check mark or X shows the status at a glance.
