Distance from your home course

[clubchamp98]

Eight miles.
All red lights 25 mins
Green lights 10 mins
There’s lots of traffic lights on my route.

Nothing worse at 5am than lights going red when there’s nothing in the side road.

 

[louise_a]

600 yds.

It was 4 miles but we moved, it wasn't deliberate, just a happy coincidence.

 

[Robin Hood]

About 1 minute drive to the car park.
From my garden to the nearest green is a good hit with a 9 iron.

 

[mikejohnchapman]

25 minutes now the holiday season is over.

 

[Bratty]

5.9 miles, but still takes 15 minutes as it's down country lanes and can be (emergency) stop/start. There's a more major road route but that's 20 minutes.

 

[Imurg]

About 1 minute drive to the car park.
From my garden to the nearest green is a good hit with a 9 iron.

To be able to do that I'd have to win the lottery.......

Under 3miles and less than 5mins…have been tempted in the past by 25mins to Blackmoor. When thinking of moving to Glasgow was considering 45min drive to the Ayrshire coast clubs.

You're good at Farnham Hugh.

 

[richart]

8 miles, 12 minutes. Think I must drive a bit faster than most.

 

[GG26]

5 Miles, 10 minutes

The control strategy of traffic lights can be different. There are some junctions where the authority set the signals to turn red if there is a detection of a fast moving vehicle on the approach. If you approach the lights at sensible speed, they'll stay green (assuming there isn't a demand for any of the other stages). If you speed, they'll turn red before you get to the stopline and make you stop. I'm not saying they tend to do this at most junctions, but I'm aware it is something that is done at places around the UK. So, if you regularly approach at 5am, try slowing down a bit (assuming you typically drive fast) and see if that makes a difference.

Or maybe they just have the side road stage set to run green when there is no traffic demand (usually sits on the main road stage at most junctions), to slow down all approaching traffic on main road. Or detection equipment might be knackered and it just cycles inefficiently through every stage at all times, even when they are not needed.

5 minutes. Umpteen within 1/2 hour.

10 minute drive for me. I’ve timed it and best is just over the 9 minute mark.

As sad as that sounds.

Worst one is into a housing estate.
Does it all the time.
I think it goes red when it sees traffic on the main road.

 

[HarrogateHacker]

5 minute drive to my new main course, 1hr 45 to Pannal where I’m now a country member

 

[GreiginFife]

15 min drive to one club, 25 min drive to the other.

 

[AussieKB]

10 minutes to one and 20 minutes to my other course, no lights to either.

 

[FuzzyDuck]

From the back of my garden, about 75 yards. 2 minute drive to the clubhouse though.

 

[Hxck]

About half an hour for me but it's worth the drive!

 

[Golfnut1957]

835 yards to the 1st tee as the crow flies, or 11 minutes brisk walk. I never drive there unless I have to.

 

[stymied]

The last 4 months I've been about 10,500km. Haven't played very much...
