Revisions Coming to World Handicap System™ in 2024

One of the revisions is the inclusion of Shorter-Length Golf Courses Within the Course Rating System: The overall length requirements for Course Rating in the WHS will be significantly reduced. A set of tees on an 18-hole course may be as short as 1,500 yards [1,370 meters] to be eligible for a Course Rating and Slope Rating®, and a set of tees on a 9-hole course may be as short as 750 yards [685 meters]. This change is intended to expand the WHS to thousands of shorter length courses, including par-3 courses, and enable more golfers to obtain and use a Handicap Index.

I was wondering if anyone knows if the Villages Executive courses have been rated to be able to post scores in the GHIN system? Or if there are plans to rate the courses?

I’m guessing no and no. Check with the Golf Administration office.

We’re going to need shorter courses when the geniuses at USGA rollback the ball.
