What the numbers mean at Van Cortlandt Park Golf Course
From the Back tees (6,002 yards), the men's slope is 119. That's close to the 113 average, so the course plays about as hard as a typical course for a bogey golfer.
A golfer with an 18.0 handicap index gets 15 strokes from the Middle tees, so a score around 85 there is playing to your handicap.
Moving from the Back tees up to the Middle tees saves 444 yards and takes 2 strokes off the score you'd expect to shoot.
The Back tees have both a men's rating (68.5, slope 119) and a women's rating (73.7, slope 121). 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.
