Pace of Play

As we enter high season and the number of golfers continues to increase, the club wishes to emphasize the importance of maintaining a good pace of play. To ensure everyone’s golfing experience at Laguna is enjoyable for all golfers, we kindly request all members to adhere to the following recommendations:

  • Play “ready golf “in a safe and reasonable manner.
  • Be in position and ready to play when it’s your turn.
  • Keep pre-shot routines to a maximum of 45 seconds and practice swings to a maximum of 2.
  • Don’t mark every putt, go ahead and finish very short putts.
  • Keep up with the group in front.
  • Invite faster groups to play through.
  • One golfer or group can back up an entire field, don’t let that be you or your group.
