Handicapping and Course Rating

The IGA is the official organization contracted by the USGA to administer the World Handicap System (WHS) here in the state of Idaho. The IGA also assumes the responsibility of course rating, sending our team of trained volunteers to measure and rate golf courses for integration into the WHS, ensuring that every Idaho golfer can play and compete on a level playing field.
