How this is calculated
Course Handicap = Handicap Index × (Slope ÷ 113) + (Course Rating − Par), rounded to a whole number. For example, a 14.2 index on the Gold tees (75.2 / 146, par 72) is 14.2 × 146 ÷ 113 + (75.2 − 72) = 21.5, which rounds to 22. Some formats and events apply a percentage allowance on top of this number, so check your event’s rules.

Experience the Country Club of Hilton Head

About Country Club of Hilton Head
Rees Jones laid this course out in 1986 across rolling terrain, pine and oak woodlands, and freshwater ponds and marshland along historic Skull Creek — a routing with three doglegs, two par-5s over 575 yards, and what club materials describe as the only punch-bowl-shaped green in the area. The signature hole is the par-5 12th, which plays over the highest point on Hilton Head Island — 28.24 feet above sea level — with views out over the Intracoastal Waterway. The course was chosen as a local qualifying site for the 1999 and 2005 U.S. Open.
