This is awesome…..But I also see left lane hogs when there are signs saying “slower traffic keep right”
But yeah if this is enforced regularly, must be quite a joy to tee off knowing it won’t be 5 hours, ever

4.5 hours for a round of 18 is pretty fair.
Weekend comps at my home course usually snag 1st tee time (2 tee system off 1st & 10th), and it takes my regular group of 4 between 4 – 4 1/2 hours to get through the round.
The biggest delay is if we play front 9 lightning quick and catch groups that have tee’d off on back 9 just before we’ve made the turn. That can turn it into an almost 5h+ round.

Good.
Just having something like this posted will at least educate people about the proper pace of play.

Last time I played there it was a 3 hour front 9 and they gave me a 9 hole rain check. They desperately needed a Marshall willing to do their job.

You got 15 minutes, a-hole!

There should be zero excuse why you cannot average at 15 mins a hole. Whether you’re in a cart or walking it isn’t hard.

I wouldn’t call 4 hr 20 minutes generous, it’s about right for a Par 72 layout.
Most club competitions with a full field we take 4.00 to 4.20, longer for back tees stroke events, 4.30 to 4.40.

Looks good to me. If we had r/golf jerkoffs in charge who think a foursome should finish in 3 hours I probably wouldn’t play them game.

Just played at two courses in England where pace of play is 3.5 hours. No carts. Two balls only (two balls or foursomes). Playing through is highly encouraged.

That is reasonable for what they consider the bare minimum. I played twighlight last nite in 3:15 and that even got slow at the end.

This is an acceptable pace for amateurs, around 4 hrs give or take a round for a foursome. Twosome around 3 to 3/12 and a single around the same, less if a better player, 15-20 handicap about the same.
You see it’s all the rage now for hot head man child‘s or short man syndrome cases to get on the course and complain the pace is too slow if a foursome isn’t playing 18 in 3.5 hrs or less even when they’re likely not much better or worse at golf than those they’re complaining about.
Funny thing if you watch the pro’s it literally takes them 5hrs+ on average to play a round. I don’t want to hear that’s not a fair comparison, it damn sure is. Yes they walk but someone is eyeing where their shots land, gives them yardages, hands them and takes their clubs, repairs their divots, rakes their bunkers, cleans their balls, clubs etc.
So STFU complainers, mind your own game and if you have to wait a little bit, loosen up, plan your attack on the next hole, study your shot options if waiting in the fairway for the green to clear. You’re not that good or that important, it’s game relax and grow the F up.

It’s usually the big groups holding everyone up now 3 ppl is my max that I would like to play a course with. You always come upon a slow group of 4 who does not want to let ppl pass thru even for a solo golfer.

4 hours and 20 minutes? How many shots are you taking a hole to need that long to play?

I just played Ballyowen in NJ and the starter mentioned their policy is also 15min per hole.

Hopefully the set tee times at every 15 min to.
Local course has similar times posted, but still sells tee times for every 8 min increments.

Love it (assuming they actually enforce it).
Best rules I’ve ever heard of

Very reasonable.
No a-hole should need 15 minutes.
