Rating
A numerical system that evaluates golf course difficulty for scratch golfers, serving as the baseline for handicap calculations and course comparisons. Course rating considers factors including length, obstacles, green difficulty, rough, and forced carries to determine how many strokes a scratch golfer should average. Ratings typically range from 67-77 for most courses, with higher ratings indicating greater difficulty. Course rating works in conjunction with slope rating to provide comprehensive difficulty assessment. Understanding course rating helps golfers set appropriate expectations and compare performance across different courses and conditions.
