About Stableford Scoring
The Stableford scoring system is a popular golf format where points are awarded based on your score relative to par on each hole. The higher your points total, the better your round.
How It Works
Points are awarded based on your net score (after handicap strokes) compared to par:
| Score vs Par | Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| Albatross or better (-3 or more) | 5 points |
| Eagle (-2) | 4 points |
| Birdie (-1) | 3 points |
| Par (0) | 2 points |
| Bogey (+1) | 1 point |
| Double bogey or worse (+2 or more) | 0 points |
Handicap Strokes
Your playing handicap determines how many strokes you receive during the round. These strokes are distributed across holes based on stroke index (1-18, with 1 being the hardest):
- If your handicap is 18, you get 1 stroke on every hole
- If your handicap is 9, you get 1 stroke on the 9 hardest holes
- If your handicap is 27, you get 1 stroke on every hole plus an extra stroke on the 9 hardest holes
Example
On a Par 4 hole with stroke index 5:
- With handicap 10: You get 1 stroke (your handicap covers strokes 1-10)
- You score a 5 (bogey): 5 - 1 stroke = Net 4 (par) = 2 Stableford points
