This page contains some basic information regarding the WHS and details of how members and visitors can determine their Course Handicap when enjoying a round at Silkstone.

A hard copy of the table is also available for golfers to use on a signboard outside the Office / Pro Shop at the clubhouse.

9-Hole Course Handicap Tables

Both the Front 9 and Back 9 at Silkstone are official measured/ratified courses in accordance with WHS requirements. You can therefore play either of the 9-h ole courses and record General Play rounds which will qualify as an Acceptable Score towards your Handicap Index.

The 9-hole courses both have their own stroke indices from 1 to 9, therefore you will play off a different Course Handicap (which is approximately half your normal Handicap Index).

To calculate your Course Handicap, for either of the 9-hole courses, you should use the following Course Handicap Tables as appropriate to each set of tees.
