Pace of Play
Shaughnessy’s standard is that all rounds must be played in 4 hours and 5 minutes or less. This policy is strictly enforced by the club. Below are some helpful tips:
-
Golfers are required to keep up with the group in front of them;
-
If golfers cannot keep up, they should let faster groups play through until they can keep up with the group in front of them;
-
Shaughnessy Golf & Country Club has been pace-rated by the Golf Activities Committee at four (4) hours and five (5) minutes for an 18-hole round of golf for a fully-occupied course per foursome.
-
The first tee time of the day must be played in a minimum of three (3) hours.
