SimplePace™ — Pace of Play Management

The Problem

However you track pace today,
total control is where most courses fall short.

Pace of play is a perfect example of where an outdated practice simply became accepted as normal. Whatever system you're using today, SimplePace adds one thing nothing else delivers: simplicity.

Still doing it by hand?

"Still letting Bob do the math on a scorecard?"

Missed times, bad math, and frustrated golfers. SimplePace takes the pencil out of the equation and gives you live, accurate pace tracking every round — without asking anyone to do arithmetic in a moving cart.

Shotgun starts with 120 carts across 18 holes can get complicated fast. SimplePace keeps it effortless — a marshal, a cart number, and a tap.

Shotgun Events

The round ends on time. So does everything after it.

Shotgun events often include extra cushion because timing can't be trusted — costing you valuable tee times. SimplePace replaces that guesswork with a clear, agreed-upon pace and real-time tracking, so staff can identify delays early and keep the whole field on schedule. Just a marshal, a cart number, and a tap.

Use It When the Schedule Matters

Not every shotgun event needs active pace management. If an event has the course to itself with no schedule pressure behind it, let the players enjoy their day. SimplePace Shotgun Start Pace Control is built for the events where timing does matter — when regular tee times or another event follow, and delays can affect other golfers and course revenue.

It just works.

Staff use their own phones or tablets with no impact on their data plan. Each cart is logged at the first tee with a single tap. SimplePace automatically tracks its expected position in real time — which hole, pinpointed to the tee, fairway, or green. When a group slips outside its pace window, the marshal steps in with facts, not guesswork. It even handles shotgun starts.
