Comparison from the white tees (named Silvertip at Silvertip). A higher Slope means more relative challenge for higher-handicap golfers compared with scratch golfers. 113 is the standard reference, not the average of these courses. Tee distance, Course Rating and your own game matter too; matching tee colours do not guarantee equal distances.
