Course and Slope Ratings
 

Where can I find the course and slope ratings for the executive courses?

Golf scores on executive courses are not recorded for handicap purposes. Executives are not rated and slopes are not provided. You can find this information on golf the villages website under FAQs re: handicaps. It's actually an informative read.

Exactly. :thumbup:

I looked on the website and couldn't find anything so thank you for the information.

Unfortunately, this is ridiculous. There is no reason that we can't have ratings and slopes for these courses. It's a free service from USGA. All they ask is that you allow the slope team to play a round when they finish their process.

I agree and that would be helpful especially from each tee box. Of Course, I see golfers playing from the wrong tees everyday on both the executive and championship courses.

On the golf thevillages.com homepage, click on "golfing in the villages" then the click the "handicap" option. There is helpful information there.
From what I've seen, read, and remember, slopes and golf course ratings are only applied to 18 hole courses in part because of the data needed by raters before they even start the process. This would be a great question to ask the USGA as they would have the facts. To be clear, I'm only guessing.

If the local USGA representatives want to...short courses CAN be rated.

However, that index (handicap) ONLY applies to that particular course.

More good info. Thanks for that link.

My pleasure. :ho:
