How To Posts Your Scores & Review Your Handicap and Posting History
Scores are posted through the Golf Canada Score Centre. There are two ways to access the Score Centre – feel free to use which ever method best suits you.
- Directly through the Golf Canada Score Centre
You can access the Score Centre at: sgc.golfcanada.ca. Login using your Golf Canada Member Account credentials. Follow the instructions to post your score.
Note: The Score Centre can also be accessed through the “Post Your Score” links on the Club’s website or through links on the main page of the Golf Canada and Golf Ontario websites. - Using the Golf Canada Mobile APP
The mobile app is available to download through the APP Store and Google Play. Login using your Golf Canada Member Account credentials. Follow the instructions to post your score. An advantage to using the mobile APP is that you can score as you play! The mobile APP also includes a handy yardage tool.
Your Golf Canada Member Account credentials are provided to you once your initial membership at our Club is processed. Please contact the Pro Shop if you have not received yours. You can address forgotten User Name and/or Password directly in the Score Centre.
POST THE DAY YOU PLAY: Post your scores by midnight on the day you play. This aids in the correct calculation of the daily Playing Conditions Calculation and ensures your Handicap is up to date for the next time you play. If you are unable to post your score on the day of play, post as soon as possible afterwards. If you post more than one score, post by date in order of games played.
Important Tip: Date Played automatically defaults to the current date. If you are posting a score from another date, please select the correct date from the “calendar” icon in the right corner of the Date Played window.
HOLE-BY-HOLE POSTING: Golf Canada strongly recommends that scores be posted using the Hole-By-Hole method. This allows for the correct application of a Maximum Adjusted Score for individual hole scores. It also permits players to post scores for incomplete rounds, providing the minimum number of holes have been played, and to designate hole(s) not played allowing for the creation of an acceptable score.
POST YOUR GROSS SCORES: Post your gross scores hole-by-hole. If you took 6 strokes on a hole, post 6 strokes; if you took 10 strokes on a hole, post 10 strokes! Do not manually adjust any scores based on the Maximum Adjusted Score calculation. Your Maximum Adjusted Scores it will be calculated automatically on each hole.
INCLUDE HOLES NOT PLAYED: If you did not play a hole, enter “O” for that hole. The system will develop an “expected” score differential for the hole or holes not played. Valid reasons for not playing a hole are fading light or bad weather, player injury or illness, a match finishing before the final hole, or a hole or green being declared out of play for maintenance or reconstruction purposes.
Please note, this option is available providing at least 10 holes have been completed and cannot be used for an incomplete 9-hole round. Net Par should be used for an un-played hole in a 9-hole round only if that hole was closed for maintenance.
ENSURE ALL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR ROUND IS CORRECT BEFORE YOU SUBMIT YOUR SCORE

- Select 18-holes or 9-holes. Don’t forget to include the correct 9 holes, front or back.
- Confirm whether or not you played alone. (Scores posted for solitary play are not considered in handicap calculations but are retained in the Score Centre for reference.)
- Select the correct FORMAT for the round you played – Stroke Play or Match Play. (Note, match play scores where you play your own ball from tee to hole on each hole are eligible.)
- Select “Yes” or “No” to Tournament play.
- If your round included a mandatory “attestor”, enter the attestor’s name.
