Was going over my stats and noticed a similarity.What I noticed was when the slope and rating were higher,I played better.Sometimes,I've felt the rating was too high for that course cause it didn't seem that hard.

Some of these courses had such a high rating ,but felt didn't seem as hard as it's rated.Because of some of these courses,I can see why some would have a lower handicap cause of it.

Do any of you have a course that is rated high,but doesn't seem to play that hard?

Do you play better on harder courses or on the lower rated course?

What's the highest slope rating you played? When I played Pine Valley it was brutally tough. Par 70, rating/slope 72.7/153 from the reg tees. Back tees are 75.2/155. Definitely a difference from the normal courses I play in the 120's.
