Does GLFR calculate my course handicap? (CH)

Yes! On most courses at least

When you start a new round in GLFR it will automatically calculate your course handicap, based on the Course and Slope Ratings of the course.

In some cases, we do not have the information from the club. If that is the case, you have to enter it manually, but in 99% of the cases, we’ve got you covered.

If you find a course with missing or wrong data, please let us know, using the form below, and we will update it ASAP.

What about 9 hole courses?

GLFR handles the calculation of your CH based on the number of holes in the course guide automatically. This means that the calculations and added strokes in your scorecard, should be correct no matter how many holes that course guide has.
Technically, we calculate your CH as if it was an 18 holes course, divide it with 2, round it off and add those strokes to the 9 holes in your course guide.

If you experience a course where you find your CH to be calculated incorrectly, please let us know using the form below, and we will update it ASAP.
