Question

How long does it take on average to play a typical 18 hole round of golf?

Answer 1

about four hours depending on how many people your playing with, weather conditions and good and bad golfers.

Answer 2

it depends on a lot of factors..number of people playing, number of total people on the course..walking or riding etc..but I typically finsih in about 3-4 hours.

Answer 3

Three hours and fifteen minutes is generally considered a good time. That's just over ten minutes a hole, including time traveling between holes. You really can't play a serious round much faster than that.

However, this is rarely achieved. Slow play on most courses means that rounds tend to take four to five hours. It's a real bone of contention for the golf industry right now.

Answer 4

cart

2-4 hours

walking

3-5

*for me

Answer 5

a foursome is supposed to take 4 hours and 15 mins for 18 holes.

Answer 6

Wow both of these answers so far are way off.  This really depends on where you are playing, how many are in your group, if you are walking, and what day you are playing on.

Weekends 4some on a moderately crowded course with a cart = 4-5hours

Weekday 4some with cart=3-4hours

Weekend walking on an open course = 4-5hours

Weekday walking on an open course = 4-5hours

Weekend cart on a slow course = 6hours

Weekday cart on a slow course = 5hours

Tournaments on difficult courses = 4-6hours depending on what type of tournament.

So i would say that average is probably around 4 hours on a moderately busy course for a decent 4some.

Answer 7

On an average course, 4.5 hours for 18 holes.  This means everyone needs to play "ready golf" or hit his/her shot when ready regardless of distance.

Answer 8

cdc pretty much nailed it.

Answer 9

3 to 4 hrs

Answer 10

About 2 hours for an average solo player.

Answer 11

It depends on how large your group is and how busy the course is.  I would say, on average 3-4 hours, easily.

Answer 12

So much depends on the course involved.  Length of course, whether hilly or not, difficulty, how many are playing in your group. how good they are, how busy the course is.  But if you say about 4 hours for the average course you will not be ar wrong.

Answer 13

3 hours

Answer 14

3.5 hours

Answer 15

ROUGHly about 4 hours, depends how well you are playing and who is in front of you

Answer 16

Answer 17

with four people about 4 hours  is average.
