The World Handicap System provides golfers with a consistent and portable measure of their playing ability. This is made possible, in part, through the Course Rating System. When a golf course is rated, playing length and obstacle factors are evaluated, which allows the unique challenges of each golf course to be quantified. Following this thorough evaluation by a qualified rating team, a Course Rating and Slope Rating is issued for each set of tees. Since Course Rating teams are trained by Authorized Associations, each course’s rating is carried out with consistency and accuracy, which is vital to the integrity of the WHS.

Chigwell Golf Club proudly boasts the following course and slope ratings for each set of tees, with the white tees slope rating (138) being one of the highest ratings in the County. Don’t worry, this is NOT an indication of an extremely difficult golf course where you’ll lose ball after ball... Rather, this demonstrates how Chigwell GC has a unique set of challenges and obstacles making it a fun, interesting and challenging course that can play different every time.

• Whites: Course Rating – 71.3/Slope Rating –138

• Yellows: Course Rating – 69.3/Slope Rating –133

• Reds: Course Rating – 73.0/Slope Rating – 135
