Question

How long does it take to play 18 holes in golf?

Answer 1

It all depends on your pace of play, how good you are, if you walk or drive a cart....but overall probably about two and a half to three hours.

Answer 2

It all depends on the length of the course, the slowness of the players in front of you, the pace of play if it is not being enforced and the understanding of the etiquette by the players . Unfortunately most of today's golfers were never exposed to the game as us old timers. We learned through caddying, learned the need for compassion  and respect for other players. You learned to keep up with the group ahead of you and not in front of the group behind you . As a result 3 to 3 1/2 hour rounds for 18 holes were commonplace. Today even in state tournaments, the 4 hour round is accepted as great time. The same should be true everywhere that 4 hours or less is reasonable to finish 18 holes.

Answer 3

Generally a 4 hour round is fairly good.  It all depends though on how well you play, how busy the course is and also weather.  One bad or slow group can s***w up a golf course for everyone behind.  Better courses have marshalls on the course to 'encourage' slow players to pick up the pace.  The old saying in golf is keep up with the group ahead, not ahead of the group behind.  I've played 18 as quickly as 3 hours and as slowly as 5+ depending on circumstances.

Answer 11

An average 18-hole round of golf (without any time wasted searching for balls Or waiting for tee offs) will take about 4 hours, give & take 15 minutes.

Answer 12

Standard courses like to see a round take 4 1/2 hrs.  Taylorben154.....you must be playing par 3 courses !! I highly doubt you are a 5 handicap after that answer.
