Course Handicap Calculation
Rule 6.1 Rules of Handicapping
!
An 18-hole Course Handicap is calculated as follows:
Course Handicap = Handicap Index X Slope Rating / 113
+ (Course Rating – Par Rating)

GRCHSS Sub Com has reviewed the current practice and the recommendation was
endorsed by The General Committee to migrate from current arbitrary Handicap to
WHS Handicap Index for our club events.

The New structure
With the migration, member need to know his or her Handicap Index and crossed
checked with the table to determine the category that he or she will be playing.

The following Formula for Course Handicap will be used to determine the Course
Handicap:
Example 1:
The Lakes, Blue Tee, CR = 72.1, SR = 136 and Par Rating = 72.
Course Handicap at The Lakes Blue Tee
= 10.5 x 136/113 + (72.1-72) = 12.63 + 0.1 = 12.73
The player’s Course Handicap at The Lakes /Blue Tee is 13
!
Example 2:
The Lakes White Tee, CR = 70.5, SR = 130 and Par Rating = 72
Course Handicap at The Lakes White Tee
= 17.5 x 130/113 + (70.5-72) = 20.13 – 1.5 = 18.63
The player’s Course Handicap at The Lakes / White Tee is 19
