Course Rating

Course Rating is a value that represents the playing difficulty of a golf course for a scratch golfer (a player with a handicap of 0) under normal conditions. This value, determined by accredited teams, is an essential part of the World Handicap System (WHS). To calculate your daily result, the Course Rating is subtracted from your Adjusted Gross Score, along with the Slope Rating and PCC, using the formula: (113 / Slope Rating) × (Adjusted Gross Score − Course Rating − PCC).
