Golf Calculators & Tools
Free tools for lowering your scores — handicap calculator, club distance chart, swing-speed distance, shot dispersion, pace of play, and a Stableford points scorer.
Golf Handicap Calculator
Turn your recent scores, course ratings, and slopes into score differentials and a WHS-style handicap index — the number that levels the field on any course you play
Club Distance Chart
Estimate carry distance for every club from your 7-iron reference or swing speed, and build a personal gapping chart that shows the yardages — and the gaps — across your bag
Swing Speed Distance Calculator
Enter your driver clubhead speed and smash factor to see potential ball speed, carry, and total distance — and how many yards each extra mph of speed is really worth
Shot Dispersion Calculator
Turn your typical left-right miss into a dispersion cone and target width at any distance, so you can pick a smart aim point and stop short-siding yourself
Pace of Play Calculator
Estimate how long a round will take from the number of holes, players per group, walking or riding, and skill level — plan your tee time and keep the group behind you happy
Stableford Points Scorer
Enter your gross scores hole by hole with pars and handicap strokes to tally net Stableford points — the friendly format that keeps a blow-up hole from ruining your card
Golf Heritage Gallery
Step into an illustrated gallery of the game — the story of golf and its championships, the clubs, balls, and gear that changed how it is played, the legends who defined the sport, and the great courses that test the world’s best, each in its own gallery. Get to know the history and the people behind the game you are trying to master.
