How to get & manage your golf handicap - iGolf

iGolf is the official digital community of England Golf and provides non-club members with an official WHS Handicap Index.

It is an easy-to-use online platform that allows subscribers to track their own performance and compete with others under the same handicap system, with personal liability insurance also included for all subscribers.

Their primary aim is to encourage play, and to increase the connection between non-club members. You can continue to travel the world golfing, whilst staying informed about everything handicap related. But what does that really mean…?

Using this digital platform is a great way of staying competitive on a golf holiday, adding to the drama and pressure during your round(s). It provides a way to stay connected with like-minded golfers, who enjoy golf’s many challenges just as much as you do.

The iGolf community allows you to regularly update your scores, even whilst on holiday, and leave your mates green with envy as you’re away playing golf while they’re stuck at home working! It is a flexible opportunity to keep a handicap, whilst following the flow of your lifestyle – whether that be playing at local clubs nearby or travelling abroad on a golf break to see the world.

We know that a golf break can take you all over the globe, and this is where iGolf can keep you informed and really come in handy. You can get easy access to an updated and correct handicap wherever you are in the world; giving you everything you need to have that competitive round on holiday.

Whether you are in Dubai experiencing the glow of Jumeirah Golf Estates or in Sotogrande at the luxurious Real Club Valderrama, iGolf is there to give you up-to-date handicap information and a history of all your stored rounds. With the new world handicap system in place, using this digital platform is incredibly useful when you are trotting the globe finding new courses to play as you’ll have an easy way of calculating your course handicap for that location. It is that simple.

We know that there are many golfing destinations around the world, but domestic trips can often provide some of the best memories. The exciting thing is that domestic trips also count towards your handicap – so you can experience the benefits of iGolf even if you are at a homeland location. You don’t have to travel far and wide to experience all the great features this platform has to offer, and every Golfbreaks customer can utilise the handicap system.

Whilst iGolf is a fantastic tool for working out your handicap during a trip, many of our golfers crave more stats and information about their golf. That’s where our friends at Golfshake come in! With the ability to log all your rounds within their shot tracking software, Golfshake enables you to track everything from your greens in regulation to your up and down percentage, whilst providing the ability to see how you stack up against others. Check out the Golfshake Score Tracker through their website, or by downloading the Golfshake app before your next break.
