9 Holes3.3.1 - App Store

Tee up with cards and challenge your friends! Nine Holes is the classic Golf card game - where every flip, swap, and pair drives your score lower across 9 thrilling holes.

HOW TO PLAY
Each player receives 8 cards in a grid, face-down. Flip them, swap high cards for low ones, and match pairs to cancel scores. After 9 holes, lowest score wins - just like real golf!

Draw from the deck or the discard pile. Matched pairs zero out. Every decision counts - play it safe, or make the risky swap?
