Maybe instead of charging a dollar for every minute over etc…make them go out 50 yds from driving range and run back and forth for the amount over 4:20 that they came in at…helmets optional!

My 2 cents. 4:20 is a good number for most golfers. Of course I can play in 2 hours if I’ve got clean air and in cart but that’s a purple unicorn. My semi private home course is m-th 3:45-4:10 f-sun 4:10-4:40. My expectations are met almost always using this. Now from my observations it’s typically the (heavy)alcohol groups and the overly intense groups (the guys who think they are just a couple good rounds from being on some low tier tour) that can really ruin it for everyone behind them. The ones that really get me going are the ones that are really just there to socialize (kinda like the two guys that sit behind you at a hockey game and never shut up). So here is my possible solutions… 1) The course needs a Marshall on each side to stay on top of this s***. Fri-Sun just pay them with free golf. 2) You are there to play golf not talk about your latest project or new girl/guy. Course is for golf and the bar is for socializing. 3) This is a big one… if the hole in front of you is open and the group behind you all have their hands on their hips then pick up and move to the next tee box. Do not let them thru this just slows it down more. 4) If you show up to a course fri-sun with less than a foursome then you don’t get to complain about anything (find some friends or ask pro shop to pair you up).
