Course Handicap Tables

Please find below the new COURSE HANDICAP tables. Effective from September 2022.

Be aware that, dependant on the format of competition you are playing, your PLAYING HANDICAP may be at a reduced level. For example, playing handicap is 95% of course handicap for individual strokeplay competitions (medal, Stableford), and 85% of course handicap for betterball pairs competitions.

For all competitions, handicap index will be converted to course index depending upon which tees are used for the competition, and the playing handicap will then be calculated as a percentage of the course handicap as per WHS rules current at the time of the competition:
