Australian Golf Handicap

Official Golf Link ID

Get your own Australian Golf Handicap number so you can track your game, join comps and play on a truly level playing field with mates and members alike - all without the cost of private memberships and forced participation in club events. 

Unlock the full golf experience with an official Australian Golf Handicap (Golf Link Number) linked to the national Golf Australia handicapping system. Whether you mostly play social rounds or love competition golf, a handicap turns every game into a fair, measurable challenge!

What you receive

• A unique Australian Golf Handicap number (Golf ID) recognised nationally through Golf Australia’s handicapping network.

• Connection to the official system that updates as your scores are entered from competition and eligible social rounds.

• Ongoing access to your current handicap and playing record via participating club and online portals.

• Download the Golf Australia app to track your own performance and connect with fellow golfers.

Benefits for social golfers

• Level games with mates: Handicaps allow golfers of different abilities to compete fairly, so higher-handicap players receive strokes against lower-handicap players.

• Make every round meaningful: Submitting eligible social scores means every casual game can contribute to your handicap and show how your game is trending over time.

• More fun side games: Handicaps make skins, stableford, and match-play bets more balanced and enjoyable for the whole group.

Benefits for competition golf

• Access to competitions: An official handicap is commonly required to enter club comps, open days, leagues and many organised events in Australia.

• Fairer leaderboards: Handicap-adjusted scoring lets players of varied skill levels have a genuine chance to win or place in net events.

• Clear performance goals: Watching your handicap move over time provides a simple way to measure improvement and set realistic targets for your practice.

Who this is ideal for

• New golfers wanting a recognised starting handicap and a simple way to track progress without the pressure of playing in club competitions.

• Social players who want their regular games to “count” and open up access to official events.

• Returning golfers needing a current Golf Australia–linked handicap number without joining a traditional club straight away (where applicable through approved providers).

How do I "record" my scores

• If you're playing at your local public course, ask if they can submit your post round score as part of their daily handicapping process. 

• If you're playing socially with your mates and you want to keep your score "private". Simply complete a local scorecard, make sure to reflect your name and Golf Link ID on the card, sign your card and take a photo. 

• Submit your card to customer.support@theagptour.com and your score will be registered. Your official handicap will only calculate after submitting 3 x 18-hole rounds or 6 x 9-hole rounds.
