Golf Shot Allowance Calculator

Use the HANDICALC™ calculator below to convert HI into Course and Playing Handicaps for any supported course, tee and format. It is designed to reflect World Handicap System™ methodology using CR, SR and the allowance for your chosen format.

• Select the course and tees you are playing.
• Choose the format (for example singles, fourball or foursomes).
• Enter each player’s HI.
• Review the Course and Playing Handicaps and strokes to give or receive.

For a deeper explanation of the calculations, see How it works and the format-specific allowances on the Formats page. Always follow your club’s Terms of Competition where they differ from typical WHS™ guidance.
