Round of golf!?

[lottie]

How long does it take a reasonably good player to play a round of golf with three other players? Strange question I know but help me out please!

Depends on the course and who is in front of you. a 4 ball at my club (The Bristol, in... Bristol) takes about 4 hours, if there is a group of women or beginners in front this can take longer, and a lot of societies out on the day can hold things up considerably.

4 hours is about right though.

Depends on all sorts, how busy the course is, how much of a time wasting pleb you're stuck behind, and what par it is being the obvious two.

Fourball, anywhere between 3 and 5 hours normally for a 72. I'd budget at least 4 if your course is anything like ours, seems impossible to get a sub 4 hr round in these days because it's never quiet.

Thanks guys! I need to go and speak to someone and am considering going over to the golf course at the end of his round! I might be commiting emotional suicide here but a girls got to do what a girls got to do!

there is quite often a terrace near the 18th green, outside the club house. get there for about 3hrs 50mins after he starts his game and you can watch the people play in. some of the best golf happens on the 18th. Then you can clap when he holes his birdie putt.
