Daytona is always action packed.
But,
My favorite is match play 4 ball (best ball) with caveats. The caveats (dots) are: both partners birdie same hole, 3 birdies in a row by 1 member of team, and any five hole stretch of par or better by any player - for every stroke below par you add an additional dot.
We usually play for $20 a hole and the caveats which a represented in dots are worth $10. If you guys are truly evenly matched, no one can lose more than $50-$70

Half the cash for medal, half for skins, C-note bonus for no bogies
A fun game my step-dad and his group used to play - regular Nassau bet for however many units and presses as agreed upon. In addition, each hole paid one unit for birdie, one unit for closest to the hole in regulation and one unit for low total score per team. If all three "extra" units were won, they were doubled. Usually kept the matches very spirited and each player grinding on each hole - especially if the extra unit number was weighted up a little.

I'm not familiar with Daytona, at least not under that name... how's that work?
I like those dots. We usually do close-up every hole, approach inside pole, putts made outside pole, and all birdies.

Given the courses and conditions, medal might be off the table. Definitely skins, and the bill for no bogies is a great idea (and probably the same for no sword fights).

Occasionally, we do something very similar to that... good game.

A group I play in does something similar.. birdies are double points, greenies/closest to pin on Par 3s is a point, sand saves gets an extra point (whether or not a resulting skin). Then there's my other group.. in addition... barkies (hit a tree.. $1 to everyone else, for each 'contact', no matter how many times/branches), bunker (again $1 each), cart path (another $1 each).. water (yep, $1).. trust me, it can add up.

Daytona for us is a 4 ball and every player's score counts. Play for .25 or up to a dollar per stroke or whatever you want.
If the one team goes 4 and 5 on a hole they score 45. If the other team goes 5 and 5 they have 55 and lost by 10.
If a player makes the lone birdie, it flipps the number, so let's say my team went 4-5 and your team went 5-6 on a par 5. We have 45 and now you have 65, so instead of just losing 11 you lose 20. The game is about making pars and birdies because the same numbers flipped are the same numbers.

Go old school and play a match with each of the 3 other players. Add skins, Hogans (hit fwy and green), and stickies (putts over length of flag stick length), and everyone is into it till the end.
