# How Long Does a Golf Simulator Round Take?

**Short answer:** about **1 hour per player for 18 holes**, or about 30 minutes per player for 9.

| Players | 9 holes | 18 holes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 | ~30 min | ~1 hr |
| 2 | ~1 hr | ~2 hrs |
| 3 | ~1.5 hrs | ~3 hrs |
| 4 | ~2 hrs | ~4 hrs |
| 5 | ~2.5 hrs | ~5 hrs |

## How to play faster

- Turn on auto-putting or gimmes inside a set distance.

- Play a scramble so everyone hits but only the best shot counts.

- Choose 9 holes and spend the rest of the time on the range or games.

- Have the next player ready while the current shot is in the air.
