Understanding the Data

Course Rating

The expected score for a scratch golfer (zero handicap) from that tee. A rating of 76.5 means a scratch player would be expected to shoot 76.5 in normal conditions.

Slope Rating

Measures difficulty relative to a bogey golfer. The USGA scale runs from 55 to 155 — a slope of 113 is average, 148 (Royal Birkdale championship) is extremely difficult.

Yardage & Metres

English clubs use yards. Metres are provided for continental European visitors. GPS devices and rangefinders are widely permitted — check with each club before use in competitions.

Data Accuracy

Data verified to best available sources. Course ratings and slope may be updated periodically by the club. Always confirm with the club before competition use.
