What does global average hole score mean?
The global average is the result of a distribution of scores resulting from simulating 1,000 random players playing that hole. The global average hole score represents what these players would typically score on this tee and basket combination, and as a Course Ambassador can help you understand how difficult a hole plays.
Why isn't this the actual average of players' scores at the course?
Utilizing a simulation of 1,000 random players (weighted by how often they play) helps correct for course selection bias.
A course that attracts more advanced players may have lower historical scores than a course that attracts mostly beginners, even if the two courses are actually similar in difficulty.
Simulating results creates a constant baseline so that course difficulty is accurately represented, regardless of who decides to play.
How can I get a global average hole score for a new hole at my course?
The global average will show once enough rounds have been recorded on that fairway for the system to be confident in its estimate. Make sure your mapping is accurate, and encourage everyone playing your course to score their round on UDisc.
Note: This data belongs to the fairway (the tee-to-target combination) itself, not to any single layout. If more than one of your layouts shares that fairway, they all count toward the same total.
Seeing a Low play count warning on a hole? See What does 'Low play count' mean? for the full explanation. If you've recently repositioned or deleted a tee, target, or fairway, see What does it mean to reset statistics? to understand when averages reset to N/A.
What is hole score distribution?
This showcases the percentage of eagles, birdies, pars, bogies, double bogies, and triple bogies+ that were accounted for in the global average. Like the global average, hole score distributions are generated from simulated scores.
If a fairway doesn't yet have enough rounds recorded, "N/A" will display. Missing global averages and hole score distributions will fill in as more players record scores on the fairway (tee to target combination).
Consider running a weekly league or event to get more players on your course!
