Frequently Asked Questions
How is a golf handicap index calculated?
A handicap differential is calculated from your score, the course rating, and slope rating, then averaged across multiple rounds and adjusted using a standard multiplier.
How many rounds do I need for an official handicap?
Official handicap systems typically require multiple recent rounds averaged together; this calculator estimates from a single round for quick reference.
What is slope rating?
Slope rating measures the relative difficulty of a course for bogey golfers compared to scratch golfers, ranging from 55 to 155.
