Hole Order

During active play game modes, the holes for a course can be ordered in various ways.

Front starts the game at Hole 1 and moves in order for subsequent holes (to Hole 2 and so forth).
Back starts the game at Hole 10 and moves in order for subsequent holes (to Hole 11 and so forth).
Random (not to be confused with the Random option for course selection) starts the game at with a random hole number, then moves in order from that number. After Hole 18 is cleared, the next hole would be Hole 1 and will move in order from there.
Shuffle takes all the holes for a course and chooses them in no specific order to go through. When a Versus, Tournament, Pang Battle, or Grand Prix game is played in Shuffle hole order, a Shuffle Bonus is received, giving you 10% more Pang at the end of the game. Shuffle Bonus is not applied for Approach or Special Shuffle Course.

Below is a table of possible hole order options for each game mode.
