Golf quota calculator

Work out your quota from your handicap or from your recent rounds, then count your points after you play. You don’t need an account.

Quota from your handicap

New to a quota game? Start from your handicap.

Use your course handicap for the tees you play, not your handicap index. Type a plus handicap as +2.

36 is the usual starting point; some groups use 39.

Type your course handicap to see your quota here.

Quota from your recent rounds

Type the points you scored in your recent rounds and see your quota: the points you are expected to score next time out.

How many of your latest rounds count toward your quota, from 4 to 20.

Points from each round

Type your points total for each round, oldest first. Add up to 20 rounds.

You keep this quota until you have 10 rounds. Leave it blank to average the rounds you add.

Type your points and calculate to see your quota here.

Count your points for a round

Count your eagles, birdies, pars and the rest, and see your points and how you did against your quota.

Leave it blank to count your points only.
