Welcome to GolfHandicapCalc.com, your digital caddie for tracking progress and understanding the math behind the game.
Golf is the only sport where a weekend warrior can compete fairly against a scratch golfer, thanks to the handicap system. However, the transition to the World Handicap System (WHS) introduced complex formulas that are hard to calculate on the back of a scorecard.
Our Mission We built this tool to strip away the confusion of Slopes, Ratings, and Differentials. Our goal is to provide a tour-level statistical tool that is free, fast, and accessible on any device—from the clubhouse to the tee box.
What Makes Us Different?
WHS Logic: We don’t just average your scores. We use the “Best 8 of 20” logic (and sliding scales for smaller samples) to give you a true representation of your potential.
Reverse Calculation: Most calculators tell you your handicap. Ours tells you how to play to it. Our “Target Score” feature calculates exactly what you need to shoot to lower your index today.
Gear Intelligence: We understand that a 25-handicap player needs different equipment than a 4-handicap player. Our dynamic recommendations help match you with the right ball and clubs for your skill level.
Whether you are trying to break 100 for the first time or grinding to get to scratch, we are here to help you know your number.
