Main article: Slope rating. In the United States each officially rated golf course is described by two numbers: the course rating and the slope rating. The course rating of a particular course is a number generally between 67 and 77 that is used to measure the average good score by a scratch golfer on that course.
Slope. The slope is equal to 100 multiplied by the slope of a line drawn through the expected scores of players of all handicap levels. The average slope is 113, meaning a scratch golfer would be expected to average 1.13 strokes better than a 1-handicap, 2.26 strokes better than a 2 handicap.Slopes over 113 mean the course is more difficult, while a slope under 113 is friendlier. player's handicap score is found by scoring the player's last 20 rounds individually, then averaging the 10 best and multiplying by .96.
