The surface of the dart board includes a plurality of wedge-shaped zones, each of which corresponds to a hole of a golf course, a plurality of annular rings, and a generally circular bullseye located generally at the center thereof. The method includes providing an identifying indicia such as a number for each wedge-shaped zone, assigning a par value to each wedge-shaped zone, assigning a score with respect to par value to the bullseye, and assigning a score with respect to par value to each annular ring.
