There is no set time that a round of golf can take. The answer will depend on how many holes you are playing, the size of your party and how many other people are on the course when you begin your play. A rough estimate for a nine-hole round of golf might be two hours for an average player while others may take as little as half of that time or as much as twice as long.
So, what can affect the length of time it takes to play your round of golf? The following things determine how long a round of golf takes: 1. Skill The skill level of not only yourself but the others in your group. Because golf is a game with set rules of etiquette, you can't just whack your ball and then mosey off to find it at will. Each hole is only concluded when all members of your party have hit and put their ball in the hole. 2. The number of people in front of you If there are people teeing off in front of you or are in the way of your next shot, your group will have to wait for them to move on. 3. The condition and layout of the course You can get an idea of what the course is like by looking at the par card. If the holes are mostly par four or five, you know it is more difficult and will take you a bit longer to play. 4. The actual dedication of the golfers If you are talking about golfers that buckle down, tee off and then go without a lot of idle chit-chat, you may go through a round surprisingly fast. On the other hand, if you are in a group that likes to stop and discusses everything from the weather to sports, you will take longer. Golf looks like a fairly simple sport at first glance. You hit the ball toward the hole, walk a bit and hit it again. It's straightforward and easy, right? Not necessarily. There are many things to consider, beginning with the way that you take that first swing (your tee shot) all the way to your final shot of the hole.
