Golf Handicap Calculator

This free golf handicap calculator gives you an idea of what your USGA Handicap Index would be if you carried an official handicap. This golf handicap calculator is not affiliated with the USGA, and the result is not an official USGA Handicap Index. This is for informational purposes only, in other words. See also the course handicap calculator, and consult our golf handicap FAQ and golf rules FAQ for more info. If you have questions about handicaps or rules, post them in the golf forum.

Golf Handicap Calculator (18 holes)
This free golf handicap calculator will help you to compute your 18-hole handicap index for scores posted from multiple golf courses (for courses that are over 3,000 yards).

To use this free golf handicap calculator: Enter the the USGA course Rating and Slope for the tees you play (usually located on the scorecard), and the score (the USGA Handicapping System requires the adjusted gross score) posted for each of a minimum of 5 of your most recent rounds, then click the "Compute Handicap Index" button.
