Scoring System Factors That Influence Your Handicap

  • Score & Course Ratings

    Your golf handicap is primarily determined by the difference between your scores and the course rating. The slope rating also measures how challenging the course is for an average golfer compared to a scratch golfer. Together, these ratings ensure your handicap reflects your true playing ability.

  • Playing Conditions

    Weather, wind, rain, or firm greens can affect how difficult a course plays on any given day. The calculator considers these factors to provide a fair estimate of your performance, adjusting your handicap slightly to account for tougher or easier conditions.

  • Other Factors

    Your handicap is also influenced by how consistently you perform across multiple rounds. Course setup, pin positions, and overall playing strategy can impact your results, helping the calculator produce a more accurate reflection of your potential.
