This Pace of Play Policy has been adopted to ensure that competition and general play rounds are played in an appropriate interval of time to make golf more enjoyable for everyone, by:
• ensuring players keep pace with the group ahead;
• establishing 3 hours 45 minutes as the target time for a 3-player group to complete an 18-hole competition round from the Back Tees
• introducing, educating and enforcing Ready Golf standards;
• highlighting timesaving hints;
• monitoring of play and enforcing R&A Rule 5.6

Members must report incidents of “slow Play” in writing to the General Manager or email manager@khgc.co.uk and must include the following detail; date of the incident, time, competition and names of the members playing.
