Handicap Certification (HCP): Become a Federated Golfer
Ready to make it official? Handicap certification is the final step to becoming a federated golfer. We guide you through the whole process so all you have to worry about is enjoying your game.
What Is a 36 Handicap and What Is It For?
It’s the starting handicap awarded once you federate after passing the certification process, and it’s what lets you go out and play officially on any federated course.
What Does Handicap Certification Include?
- Technical preparation. We refine your swing to make sure you have the consistency needed to keep up with pace of play.
- Rules and etiquette. We teach you the essentials of on-course behaviour, safety, course care and the basic rules for scoring your card.
- Supervised course round. We run the certification round, assessing your play in a real on-course situation.
- Paperwork and registration. We handle your certificate and register you with the Federation so you receive your 36.0 handicap.
Dozens of students have obtained their handicap with us in the past year. Our team of qualified instructors adapts to your pace, so the step from the driving range to the official round is a fun and successful experience.
Frequently Asked Questions About Our Golf Courses
What’s the Difference Between the Golf Taster Lesson and Beginner Lessons?

It’s not required: kids’, junior and adult lessons all have a member rate and a non-member rate, both listed alongside each course.
How Long Does the Process of Getting a Handicap Take?
The handicap certification course includes technical preparation, rules and etiquette, a supervised course round for certification, and the administrative registration with the Federation.
Are Lessons Private or in Groups?
We offer both formats for kids’, junior and adult lessons: group lessons (up to 8 people) and private lessons (up to 4 people), with hour packages available to save per session.
