ABSTRACT
A model-based decision support system (DSS) for operating and designing golf course systems is presented in this paper. The DSS is based on a simulation model that accurately represents the variability and interactions that impact pace of play on a golf course. Research shows the economic benefits of understanding the impact of policy and design on golf course play, specifically throughput (rounds played) and cycle time (round length). A specific policy, only allowing fast golfers to begin early in the day, was shown to improve both throughput and cycle time. A new statistic is proposed, the time handicap, which measures both a golfer and course's pace ...
