How do you find the course slope?

It is always a number between 55 and 155, with 113 being the "standard" slope.

Then multiply that figure by 5.381 for men and 4.24 for women.

How do you use Course Rating and slope?

What is the difference between Course Rating and slope?

Course Ratings are carried out by qualified teams, and assume normal course and weather conditions.

How do you read a slope rating on a golf course?

Is a 130 slope rating hard?

What tees should I play based on my handicap?
