Golf Event Pace Planner
Set your event start time, total minutes, and the checkpoints you want to track. This tool distributes the time across them and shows the clock time for each.
| Checkpoint | Weight | |
|---|---|---|
| Checkpoint | Minutes | Clock time |
|---|---|---|
| Front 9 | 120 | 10:00 |
| Back 9 | 120 | 12:00 |
A timing reference, not enforcement
This tool gives your event a transparent timing plan to share with participants; it does not enforce pace of play on the course or track a group's actual progress. An event can still run behind regardless of what this plan says, and that is expected of any static planning tool.
Equal segments or weighted checkpoints
Splitting the total time evenly across checkpoints is the simplest approach, but a checkpoint that realistically takes longer, a turn at the clubhouse, a longer stretch of holes, can be weighted more heavily so the plan reflects that difference rather than pretending every segment takes the same time.
Reading a plan that crosses midnight
A long event starting late in the day can push its final checkpoint past midnight. This tool marks that clearly with a next-day indicator rather than silently wrapping the clock back to an early-looking time that could be misread as the same day.
Where this connects
Use this alongside the Shotgun Start Allocator or Tee Time Scheduler for the start itself, and the Golf Trip Round Planner if this event is one round within a larger multi-round trip.
Frequently asked questions
Does this tool enforce pace of play on the course?
No. It gives your event a transparent timing plan to share with participants, but it does not track a group's actual progress. An event can still run behind regardless of what the plan says — that is expected of any static planning tool.
Do all checkpoints have to take the same amount of time?
No. Splitting time evenly is the simplest approach, but a checkpoint that realistically takes longer, like a turn at the clubhouse, can be weighted more heavily so the plan reflects that rather than pretending every segment is equal.
What happens if the event's final checkpoint lands after midnight?
This tool marks it clearly with a next-day indicator rather than silently wrapping the clock back to an early-looking time that could be misread as the same day.
