What the numbers mean at Papago Golf Club
From the Black tees (7,380 yards), the men's slope is 130. That's 17 above the 113 average, so Papago Golf Club plays noticeably harder than average for a bogey golfer.
A golfer with an 18.0 handicap index gets 17 strokes from the White tees, so a score around 89 there is playing to your handicap.
Moving from the Black tees up to the Gold tees saves 2,042 yards and takes 13 strokes off the score you'd expect to shoot.
The White tees have both a men's rating (70.1, slope 120) and a women's rating (76.3, slope 130). Use the one for your own handicap so your strokes come out right.
"Your strokes" is your course handicap: your index × slope ÷ 113, plus the course rating minus par. See course rating and slope explained.
