The maximum allowed handicap for a lady golfer is 36, so a beginner would be around this. Most lady golfers play off 20 or so. However this does not reflect good amateur and professionals.

Is a handicap of 5 good?
Yes, i think that is a good handicap. OK you are not a world class player but you most likely shoot around a few over every round. Keep it up, you clearly have potential. ** While not actually true, you can (very) roughly think of your handicap as what you will shoot over par on an an average course on a good day.
