FAQ on tees, slope and CR.

Tees, course difficulty and extra recevied strokes

On a sloped course, each tee is given spcific course rating (CR) and slope rating values for men and women. The number of extra received strokes for the tee and gender in addition to the course par is calculated by the following formula (and rounded to nearest whole number):

The players handicap * slope rating / 113
+ course rating
- course par
Extra received strokes

Tee Definitions = Red (Ladies Tee), Blue (Junior tee), Yellow (Men's Tee), White (Competitition tee), Black (Competitition tee)
Slope Rating - slope = Represents the difficulty of a course for bogey golfers relative to scratch golfers. The higher the slope, the more difficult the course plays for bogey golfers. A number ranging from 55 to 155 - 113 is considered average and should be set on an unsloped course.
Course Rating - cr = Represents the difficulty for the scratch player relative to the course par. The higher the slope, the more difficult the course plays for scratch golfers. The number ranges from +- 10 of the course par - the course par (i.e. 72) is considered average and should be set on an unsloped course.
