How do golf clubs handle pace of play policies?

Maintaining a good pace of play is essential for a pleasant golfing experience.

Many golf courses have established guidelines to help manage this. • Typically, courses expect groups to complete their rounds within a certain timeframe, often around four hours.

If you notice the group ahead is slow, it's courteous to let the staff know. • Some clubs may also have marshals who monitor the pace and provide reminders to groups that are lagging behind, ensuring everyone has a chance to enjoy their game. • You can also play your part by being prepared, knowing your clubs, and keeping your game moving efficiently.
