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.
Par is the number of strokes, or hits, a golfer is allowed for one particular hole. All of strokes are added up to give the course a total par, such as 70 or 72 for 18 holes. A golfer is said to shoot par if they use the exact number of shots to hit the ball from the tee box and into the cup on the green.
