The golfer type test sorts playing styles into eight types using 12 everyday situations: choosing a club on a tight tee shot, your range routine, a coffee bet with your group and how you settle down after a mistake. You can answer whether you play on the course, at the range or in a simulator.

How your type is decided

The 12 questions are split evenly across four scales: course strategy, preparation, on-course company and bounce-back. The direction of the first three scales (2×2×2) gives one of eight types. The bounce-back scale is added as a tag next to the type name: Quick Resetter or Reflective Reviewer. Your best playing partner shares your on-course company style but has the opposite strategy and preparation.

All 8 golfer types

The Flag Hunter: Careful preparation, then straight at the pin. Shines brightest when something is on the line.

The Prepared Adventurer: A solid plan and a love of a challenge. Gets the whole group excited.

The Hero-Shot Seeker: Feel over formulas. Always looking for the one shot that turns things around.

The Good-Vibes Swinger: Big swings and bigger laughs. Turns any round into a day out.

The Scorecard Architect: Plans every shot and builds the score one stroke at a time.

The Fairway Keeper: Calm and consistent. Everyone in the group feels at ease around you.

The Course Reader: Reads the wind and the slopes and works through the round one quiet shot at a time.

The Easygoing Stroller: Cares more about the day than the score, and loves the grass and the company.

This is a just-for-fun personality quiz, not a psychological test. It does not assess your golf skill or your character, and the practice ideas are general suggestions anyone can try.

Do the same answers always give the same result?

Yes. The scoring cannot end in a tie, so the same answers always give the same type. Nothing is picked at random.

Can I take it if I have only just started golf?

Yes. Most questions can be answered from time at the range or in a simulator. If you have not been in a situation yet, pick the option closest to how you think you would react.

Are my answers stored?

No. Your answers are scored inside your browser and never sent to a server. Only your last result (the type code) stays on this device, and you can remove it with “Clear” on the test start screen.
