Master the Nassau Side Game with VPAR Premium
Looking to add some extra excitement to your next round? The Nassau side game, now available in VPAR Premium, is the perfect way to introduce friendly competition into your golf experience. Whether you’re playing with friends or testing your skills against new opponents, Nassau is a strategic and engaging golf format that keeps every hole meaningful.
What is Nassau?
The Nassau side game is a popular betting golf format that breaks the round into three separate competitions:
Front 9 – The best score over the first nine holes.
Back 9 – The best score over the last nine holes.
Overall – The best total score across all 18 holes.
Each section is its own game, meaning players have multiple chances to win throughout the round. Even if you have a slow start, there’s always a fresh opportunity on the back nine or in the overall game to turn things around.
