Golf Handicap Calculator Factors That Impact Your Handicap

  • Score & Course Ratings

    Your golf handicap lookup is determined mainly by the difference between your scores and the course rating. Additionally, slope rating indicates the difficulty of the course for an average golfer as compared to a scratch golfer. These ratings work hand-in-hand to make sure your handicap measures your true ability.

  • Playing Conditions

    Weather, wind, or firm greens can affect course difficulty. While official handicaps adjust for this only through formal playing-condition systems, this estimator offers an appropriate adjustment to reflect typical performance variations.

  • Other Factors

    Your handicap might also vary based upon the degree of your consistency in your performance over several rounds Played. Course setup and pin positions, and even strategy can all affect your overall results, and your handicap would be computed better to reflect your potential while using the consistent adjustment factor for each round.

No. This estimator is intended for educational purposes to provide an estimate of the person's golf handicap for their personal tracking and practice purposes. A tournament player's golf handicap must be calculated through a recognized system that is authorized by a golf association in order to receive the official handicap for tournament play.

The estimator provides users with reasonable estimates for tracking their performance and improvement. However, no estimate is allowed for official competition, instead only an authorized system will provide accurate results.

Each time the athlete completes a round of golf, it is recommended to help derive an accurate handicap and to track improvements over time.
