9 hole golf course
- Course information
Course handicap tables
We like to keep things simple here at Marton Meadows so we only ever use one set of tees: YELLOW.
Checkout how many shots you get on our course using the tables below based on 9 Hole or 18 Hole rounds.
Not sure how it works or why it matters?
A Course Handicap Table is just a quick lookup chart that ensures everyone is playing on a level field, no matter the course.
It takes your Handicap Index and tells you how many extra shots you get on a specific course.
That’s it – no calculations needed, just find your handicap number on the table and away you go!
