How to Play

Casual beach play:

Bocce hole rules are designed to be fun and easy to follow. If a rule doesn't work for your conditions, adjust as needed.

Who can play:

  • 2-to-4 players:
    • 2 Players:  Single opponents (using one ball)
    • 4 Players:  Two teams of two (using two balls)
  • We recommend ages 14+; and younger players love it too- with adult supervision.  

Setup:

  1. Place rings flat, 10 paces apart
  2. Dig hole in center of each ring using provided scoops

Scoring:
1 point - ball hits ring
3 points - ball drops in hole

Gameplay:
Players alternate turns rolling/ tossing toward opposite ring

Switch sides at 10 points (ensures fairness due to varied sand conditions)

Winning:
First team to 21 points wins

Note: Two single players use one ball. Four players (2 teams of 2) use two balls.

Game tips:

  • Firm sand: slow roll, like bocce (slower than you think!)
  • Soft sand: toss & roll, like cornhole
  • Slopes: aim higher, and let gravity pull the ball down
  • Novice help: place taller backstop side up and/or step one pace closer.
