How this ranking is built

Slope rating measures how much harder a course plays for a bogey golfer than for a scratch golfer. Each course is ranked by the lowest slope rating above 55 from its men's tees. Women's ratings are used only where a course publishes no men's rating. Where a course has both, its 18-hole rating is used rather than a nine-hole one. 36 of the 44 public and municipal golf courses listed in Westchester County, New York have a slope rating on file, taken from each course's published scorecard.
