Can I manually enter the Course Rating, Slope Rating and Par for a course I played?

You should always use the published Rating information when available, and most courses and tees have been rated for both genders by the Allied Golf Association in that area. However, there may be times where you must manually enter the course information to post a score, including when:

• The set of tees has not been rated for your gender, or
• The round was played outside the United States and a course search does not find the course played

In these cases, you should first reach out to your club administrators who can work with Golf Association in the area the course is located to obtain the Rating information. At that point, you can manually enter the Course Rating, Slope Rating and par along with the score details. If no Course Rating, Slope Rating, and par can be determined, the score will not be acceptable to post for handicap purposes.

If you are playing a set of tees that is not rated for your gender, your club administrator in consultation with Washington Golf can determine if a temporary Course Rating and Slope Rating can be created to post your score.

Manually entering the Rating information and par should be considered a last resort. In addition, if the score is not identified with any particular course, then it will not contribute to the Playing Conditions Calculation data pool.
