Course Rating Accuracy - USGA / Course
I’ve had this issue come up several times so far this year. The course rating on the card being different than the rating recorded in the USGA Course Rating Database. Has anyone noticed this happening? What would cause it, outdated cards? Kind of a pain in the ass. I noticed it because I track my HCP manually (based on cards), on Grint, & through GHIN.

I’ve had all three (GHIN, Grint, scorecard) be different. Even though it bugs the daylights out of me, I don’t think it’s a huge deal. My GHIN and Grint are within half a point of each other.
My exact thoughts. Thanks for the confirmation that I’m not crazy. Started using GHIN this year now that I’m competing (Prior always just calculated my hcp for info purposes) and found out that one of my local tracks isn’t even rated by our USGA overlords. I didn’t even think this was possible. But after spending a day looking up every course I’ve ever played in the database it’s more common than you would think.
