Bogey Rating
A bogey rating is an indication of the difficulty of a golf course for bogey golfers, assuming normal course and weather conditions. The bogey rating is expressed as the number of strokes taken to one decimal place, and is based on various factors (yardage, obstacles, etc.) that affect golf scores.
The bogey rating is one of the factors used by the USGA to determine course slope.
