Not really, no.

If you're playing on a par 72 course rated at "72" and with a slope of 113, and you shoot one 90+ round for every 88 (average), we'll say, then your handicap index is about 16. If it's rated 68.8 and the slope is 104, and your 10 best scores out of your last 20 average 88, then you're about a 20.

Look on the scorecard of the course you play or go on the USGA website and you can do a search on the course that way and you'll find the course rating a slope rating for that course.
