What Is a Course Handicap?
Your Course Handicap represents how many strokes you’ll get (or give) when playing a specific golf course. It adjusts your Handicap Index based on the course’s slope rating and course rating — so you’re playing on fair terms, regardless of how easy or hard the course is.
Official Formula:
Course Handicap = Handicap Index × (Slope Rating ÷ 113) + (Course Rating – Par)

- Switching from 18 to 9 holes
