Get Your Official USGA Handicap Index®

What Is a Handicap Index®?

A Handicap Index® is a standardized measurement of a golfer’s demonstrated ability, allowing players of different skill levels to compete fairly. It adjusts for course difficulty and playing conditions, helping ensure a level playing field wherever you tee it up.

Whether you're playing casually with friends or entering tournaments, your handicap keeps the game competitive and fun.

With an OGA membership, you'll receive an official USGA Handicap Index® powered by the Golf Handicap Information Network (GHIN) system. Join OGA today to get your GHIN number!
