Handicap Forecast

Handicap Forecast – Golf Handicap Calculator & HCPI Simulator

Want to know how your handicap index (HCPI) might change right after finishing your round?

Handicap Forecast instantly calculates your potential new handicap index based on your gross score. The app visualizes trends, lets you simulate different results and helps you understand how your handicap may evolve over time.

Once your golf association publishes the Playing Conditions Calculation (PCC), you can add it manually to refine the calculation.

Handicap Forecast is a powerful tool for golf handicap tracking, simulation and performance analysis.

Free features
• Handicap simulation and score management: track your golf scores and instantly simulate how results affect your handicap index.
• Digital scorecard: record your round hole by hole with strokes, par and Stableford points – including a running projection while you play.
• NRa for abandoned rounds: if an 18-hole round is abandoned after at least 10 holes, the app scores it in line with WHS. The remaining holes are completed automatically using the official adjustment rule.
• Mark rounds as handicap-relevant: decide per result whether it counts towards your handicap index – ideal for casual rounds.
• The free version allows you to manage up to 20 score records.
• Create, edit or delete results anytime to test different scenarios.
• Manage golf clubs and courses, mark tee boxes as favourites.

Set up your preferred clubs and store for every course and tee box:
• Par
• Course Rating (CR)
• Slope Rating

Fast course and score entry
• Set your home course in your profile to record new results in seconds.
• For 9-hole courses, copy par and stroke index from an 18-hole course of the same club – front or back nine. Stroke indexes are renumbered to 1–9 automatically.

Multilingual interface. The app supports:
• German
• English
• French
• Spanish

Premium features
The premium version adds further analysis and convenience features.
• Unlimited score management: record and analyse as many rounds as you like.
• HCPI scenarios: for your favourite courses and tee boxes, see how a given gross score in your next competition would change your handicap index.

• Course handicap calculation: work out your course handicap for any course and tee box.
• Scoring record import: import existing score data and analyse your handicap development with ease.
• Backup and restore: secure your data and restore it whenever you need to.
