- Canadian Greensomes.
- Standard Greensomes.
- Three of Four clubs + putter.
- Texas Scramble – either all play from the chosen spot, or all bar the person whose ball position you have chosen play from the spot.
- Better Ball Stableford.
- Choose 10 or 15 scores per nine holes.
- Yellow Ball Multiplier in various formats.
- 1 or 2 scores per first 6 holes, 2 or 3 scores per second 6 holes, 3 or 4 scores per last 6.
- A v B & C first 6, B v A & C second 6, C v A & B last 6 holes.
- Mulligans or Nasty Mulligans (you ask the opponent to take his shot again).
- Foresomes.
- Medal round (on the Wyc Heights Par 3?).
If 5 players turn up to play, I think that the only Novelty format that works is the 10 or 15 scores selection but some research may find others.
