Frequently asked questions
How is course handicap calculated?
Course handicap = index × (slope ÷ 113) + (course rating − par). It adjusts your index for the difficulty of the specific tees you play.
What's the difference between handicap index and course handicap?
Your index is portable and course-independent; the course handicap converts it into the actual strokes you receive on a given course and set of tees.
