| Bogey Rating - USGA Bogey Course Rating is an evaluation of the difficulty of a golf course for bogey golfers, and is part of the course rating process. It is not a number that most golfers ever hear, but rather is used in calculating the slope rating. The bogey rating is expressed in strokes (as is the course rating), then is plugged into a formula that produces slope rating. |
| Course Rating - USGA Course Rating is an evaluation of the difficulty of a golf course for scratch golfers. Course rating is relatively easy to understand because it is expressed in strokes. A par-72 course that is easy might have a course rating of 68.9; one that is difficult might have a course rating of 74.5. Course rating should always be included on the scorecard, and it plays a role in figuring handicap indexes. |

| SLOPE = USGA Slope Rating is a number ranging from 55 to 155 that represents the difficulty of a course for bogey golfers relative to the USGA Course Rating (which represents the difficulty for scratch golfers). Slope rating is not expressed in strokes, but, rather, is a ratio. The higher the slope, the more difficult the course plays for bogey golfers. A slope rating of 113 is considered average. Slope rating plays an important role in figuring handicap indexes and also is used to figure course handicaps.
