Three-hour golf may be par for the course
Whether you’re a golfer concerned about the lengthy time it takes to play a round or management at a resort featuring golf, you will certainly be interested in the outcome of testing a new program to target only three hours or less for a round of golf.
Kiawah Island Golf Resort is testing a new program this summer to set aside tee times on its courses for singles, twosomes and threesomes with the goal for golfers to finish their 18-hole round in less than three hours.
“One of the major challenges that keeps many golfers off the course is the amount of time it takes to play 18 holes,” said Brian Gerard, Kiawah Island Golf Resort’s Director of Golf.
He added the course is arranging tee times to get golfers to complete the course in the time limit. Those who think they can’t play that fast are urged to ask for alternative times.
Several tee times have been set aside for the faster golfers.
“This new program is just the newest salvo in Kiawah Island Golf Resort’s ongoing efforts to make the game of golf to more attractive to more people,” says a press release.
Located along 10 miles of a pristine beach just south of Charleston, SC, Kiawah Island Golf Resort was recently named the No. 1 resort on the U.S. Mainland by readers of the prestigious Conde Nast Traveler magazine.
