World Handicap System 2020:

Course Handicap

Course Handicap (rounded to the nearest whole number) =

Handicap Index * (Slope Rating / 113)

+ (Course Rating - Par)

​

Example:

​

​            Handicap Index                                          

            Slope Rating                                                       

            Course Rating              

            Par                                                           

 

Course Handicap = 25.0 * (127/113) + (71.4 - 72) 

 

  Course Handicap = 25.0 * 1.12 + (-.6) 

 

 Course Handicap = 27 

​

whole number) = (Handicap Index / 2) * (9-hole Slope Rating / 113)
