The game of wolf is a foursome format with each player taking it in turns to play the role of wolf at each hole. After everyone has taken their tee shot, with wolf going last, that player must then decide whether to pair up with a partnership or play on alone. A lone wolf can pick up four points if winning a hole, while a partnered wolf gets two for success. Losing lone wolves see a point apiece awarded to the three other players. If the wolf loses while paired up on a hole, then the opposition players get three points each.
