About Handicap Forecast – Golf HCPI
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. • Series: play through how your handicap index would have developed if additional rounds had counted – ideal for winter rounds or practice series. A series continues your real history rather than calculating in isolation. • Analysis: statistics for every view – number of rounds and courses played, handicap trend chart, best and worst round, and your average score differential. With a complete scorecard, also eagles, birdies, pars and bogeys, both as totals and per round. • 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. • Reset database: start your simulations over from scratch. • Dark mode: comfortable use in any lighting condition. For golfers who want to understand their game. Handicap Forecast is made for players who want to: • analyse how their handicap develops • simulate different score scenarios • calculate their course handicap for different courses • track their progress over the long term Important notice: Handicap Forecast is an independent app and has not been developed, sponsored, reviewed, endorsed or licensed by the USGA, The R&A or any national golf association.

What’s new
Version 1.3.0 · Updated September 25, 2026
New: Scorecard Record your rounds hole by hole with strokes, par and Stableford points instead of just a total score – including a running projection while you play. New: NRa (rounds not played in full) Had to stop an 18-hole round after at least 10 holes? NRa lets you score it in line with WHS – the remaining holes are filled in automatically using the official adjustment rule. New: Series (Premium) Create your own series and explore how your HCPI would have developed if those results had counted towards your handicap alongside your official history – ideal for winter rounds, practice series or any other scenario. New: Analysis (Premium) Every view – Official, Incl. private rounds or a series – now has its own analysis: number of rounds and courses played, HCPI trend as a chart, best and worst round, and your average score differential. Where the scorecard was filled in completely, eagles, birdies, pars and bogeys are added too – as totals and as an average per round. Open it from the new chart icon on the dashboard. Set up 9-hole courses faster Par and stroke index for a 9-hole course can now be copied from an 18-hole course you already have at the same club – either the front or the back nine. Stroke indexes are converted to 1–9 automatically, and every value stays editable afterwards. Mark individual results as handicap relevant You now decide directly on each result whether it counts towards your HCPI. Redesigned throughout Result entry, profile, courses, clubs and other screens have been rebuilt: cards grouped more clearly, and a consistent header with back and save actions instead of separate buttons at the edge of the screen. Improved presentation More consistent colours and better readability in both light and dark mode, including the scenario and premium screens. Please note: The HCPI trend chart has moved from the profile page into the new Analysis screen. There it no longer shows official results only, but the trend for whichever view you have selected. Bug fixes Various smaller corrections, including the rounding of course handicap thresholds and the projection on the scorecard.
