Welcome to the Greg Mastriona Golf Courses at Hyland Hills.
Our goal is to consistently facilitate an acceptable Pace of Play for all players on all courses.
FOUR PLAYERS PER GROUP MAXIMUM (NO EXCEPTIONS)
Please keep up with the group directly in front of you (within one golf shot).
Keeping up with the group directly in front of you ENSURES an acceptable Pace of Play.
The Pro-Shop Management Team monitors Pace of Play in real time utilizing our GPS system.
The following Pace of Play Policies and Procedures have been implemented for any group that becomes 15 minutes or more behind Pace of Play.
Groups that fall behind the Pace of Play 15 minutes or more will receive a notification on the golf cart GPS screen along with an in-person notification from our Pro-Shop Management Team, which includes the following Pace of Play Procedures below.
Pace of Play Notification – After you have been notified in person by a member of the Pro-Shop Management Team, your group will have 15-minutes to actualize the correct Pace of Play Position which is based on the course total Pace of Play Time Specifications (see below).
Pace of Play Action Plan – If your group remains behind the correct Pace of Play Position after the 15-minute Pace of Play Notification, your group may choose from one of the following 3 options:
Option 1. The Pro-Shop Management Team will move your group into the correct Pace of Play Position which is based on the Course Total Pace of Play Time Specifications (see below).
Option 2. Players may end their round and receive a raincheck for the remaining holes.
Option 3. Players may end their round and receive a refund for the remaining holes.
Listed below are the established Total Pace of Play Time Specifications expected for each golf course.
18-hole Gold course – 4 hours and 30 minutes.
9-hole Blue course – 2 hours and 15 minutes.
9-hole SP3 course – 1 hour and 30 minutes.

(Top 10 Recommendations to Maintain Pace of Play)
- A round of golf is meant to be played at a prompt pace. *See rule 5 in the USGA Rules of golf.
- When reaching your golf ball, limit the total time per golf shot to ONE MINUTE or less.
- Play ready golf; players that are ready may play first if agreed by lot within the group
- When hitting an offline golf shot use a fixed visual marker (e.g., a tree, structure, etc.) in the distance as a target line connecting your location point to the visual marker chosen, so you may find your ball faster.
- Play a provisional ball if you think your original ball might be lost or out of bounds. *See Rule 18 in the USGA rules of golf.
- Assist your fellow player to find a lost ball with a MAXIMUM search time of THREE MINUTES.
- When in doubt concerning which golf club to take when leaving the golf cart or your golf bag, take two or three golf clubs.
- Place golf clubs/range finders, towels, etc. on or near the flag stick so nothing is left behind.
- If a score of triple bogey has been reached on any hole before reaching the green, pick your ball up and proceed to the green and putt out with your group.
- Leave the putting green / area promptly after play has concluded on each hole, and record player scores when arriving at the next tee box.
