I believe it is what a scratch golfer should shoot on the course. To calculate your own course handicap, please go here: http://www.usga.org/playing/handicap...calculator.asp

If you really want to understand what course rating is all about, go to the Pope of Slope.

Re: is usga coarse rating par?

some where near where it shows the yardages for each set of tees...it should say course rating and slope rating. course rating is what a scratch golfer should shoot, and slope is a rating 0-155 to show how hard the course is for bogey golfers.

There is also a course lookup on usga's webpage: United States Golf Association

p.s. I bolded the u on purpose, it is course not coarse.

You play golf on a golf course, but use a coarse scrubby pad to clean your clubs. Or maybe, the group ahead of yours was very coarse, you could hear the swearing from well up the fairway and they never repaired their ballmarks. Definition of coarse - Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary In any way, coarse is very different from course
