Tee Selection Planner
Enter your Handicap Index and the tee options you are considering. This tool computes your Course Handicap at each so you can compare them side by side.
| Tee | Yardage | Course Rating | Slope | Par | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tee | Yardage | Course Handicap | Par |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forward | not entered | 12 | 72 |
| Middle | not entered | 12 | 72 |
| Back | not entered | 12 | 72 |
Yardage is not the whole story
Two tees of similar length can carry very different Course Ratings and Slope Ratings, which changes your Course Handicap even though the walk feels about the same. This tool compares the actual rating numbers, not just the yardage, so you can see how each tee's difficulty profile actually affects your stroke allocation.
A comparison, not a recommendation
This tool does not infer which tee suits your game, your pace of play, or your enjoyment of a round; it only shows how your Course Handicap changes across the tee options you entered. Which tee to actually play is a personal decision this tool informs but does not make for you.
What this does not know
This tool has no course layout, hazard placement, or GPS data; it works entirely from the Course Rating, Slope Rating, par, and yardage you type in for each tee. Confirm those values against the actual posted scorecard before relying on the comparison.
Where this connects
This reuses the same Course Handicap calculation as the standalone Course Handicap tool, and pairs well with the Conditions Range Planner for a fuller pre-round picture.
Frequently asked questions
If two tees have similar yardage, will my Course Handicap be the same at both?
Not necessarily. Two tees of similar length can carry very different Course Ratings and Slope Ratings, which changes your Course Handicap even though the walk feels about the same — this tool compares the actual rating numbers, not just yardage.
Does this tool tell me which tee I should play?
No. It only shows how your Course Handicap changes across the tee options you enter. Which tee actually suits your game, pace of play, or enjoyment is a personal decision this tool informs but does not make for you.
Where do the Course Rating and Slope Rating numbers come from?
You enter them yourself from the posted scorecard. This tool has no course layout, hazard, or GPS data — confirm the values you enter against the actual scorecard before relying on the comparison.
