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 Black tees (71.8 / 131, par 72) is 14.2 × 131 ÷ 113 + (71.8 − 72) = 16.3, which rounds to 16. Some formats and events apply a percentage allowance on top of this number, so check your event’s rules.

Rose Hill Golf Club Reviews
Rose Hill averages 3.8, and its reviews split cleanly rather than sitting lukewarm. The enthusiasts call it a hidden gem: strong value, fair green fees, a Gene Hamm layout that is challenging without being tricked up, a relaxed atmosphere and staff reviewers single out warmly. The detractors are specific and mostly about operations rather than design — a course playing saturated after rain, tee times not spaced or enforced so groups stack up, a worn cart, a thin pro shop, and a range closed at short notice. The course is well liked; the day-to-day running is what varies.
