When I book the tee times on GolfNow, the courses are rated and the slope is listed as well. Either way I have a general idea of what my handicap is, it's simply "not very good." I'm just interested to see if it changes on the future.

You could send an email to SwingU and ask when they will add the capability.

Golf2Much Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Starting in 2024, the minimum course length to have a rating dropped from 3000 yards for an 18-hole layout to 1500 yards (or 750 yards for a 9-hole course layout). It's anticipated that around 600 courses will be added to the collection of rated courses. That's just one of the changes that took effect over the last week or so. You also do not have to wait until you post an additional nine hole score. Now, the GHIN system will utilize expected score differential to utilize that nine hole score immediately. Also, if your play is halted after 10-17 holes. the GHIN system will automatically complete your scorecard with the expected score differential for the holes that are missed. Also, there's an interesting 2023 year in review summary that is now available in the GHIN App. If you click the Stats button in the lower portion of you smartphone screen, change the drop down menu to "2023 Scores" and click 2023 GHIN Rewind, you'll see this past year's summary. It starts with what your index was at the start of 2023, how many courses you played, the number of scores posted, lowest handicap index, best score, average score and how 2023 ended. It's a nice summary.
