The average slope rating of a golf course is typically 113. If the slope of a golf course is less than 113, the course is easier than the average golf course.
The higher the slope number, the harder the course is for the bogey golfer relative to the difficulty of the course for the scratch golfer. Slope numbers can range anywhere between 55 and 155 with the average slope in the United States being 120.
The slope rating value always lies between 55 and 155, with 113 being the average or 'standard' value.
