The calculator uses (Score − Course Rating) × 113 ÷ Slope Rating. This adjusts a round to a standard slope so scores from different courses are easier to compare.
No. This tool gives a local estimate based on the rounds you enter in this browser session. An official index requires approved score posting, handicap rules and a recognized golf association.
Course rating estimates the expected score for a scratch golfer. Slope rating describes relative difficulty for bogey golfers, where 113 is the standard baseline.
Results are estimates generated locally in your browser. This calculator is for informational purposes only and does not create an official handicap index.
