Does anyone like playing a round solo?

I have had the opportunity to play a few solo rounds lately. They are either early morning or afternoon.
I love it. You get to move quickly and enjoy the round more.

It’s great for doing whatever and hitting multiple balls. It also frees you up to go play whenever.

I live on a course. So a few holes in the afternoon happen often. I don’t really play 18 alone anymore. I like it for the lack of distractions. Relaxation. And the chance to hit more shots to work on something specific.

I enjoy some competition with my boys, but when i get to play by myself i absolutely love it. If it wasn’t for the competition I’d prefer it.

I rarely ever play a solo round. For some reason I seem to do worse on solo rounds. Can't figure out why. Maybe I'm rushing it. But I also struggle when the pace is really slow.
I also have an irrational fear of hitting a hole in one when nobody is around to see it.

I do it all the time. I live close to City Park in Nola, so it's easy for me to finish whatever I have to do on a weekend, sit down and relax for a minute, then just decide to go play a late afternoon round real quick. I'll just decide to go last minute, so it's easier for me to just go alone.
I feel like I get some good work in that way. I try to hit the same shot with multiple ball flights to figure out what would have been the better shot.

During the spring of Covid I played many rounds solo. I would walk Dumas several times a week. Nobody played that course during the initial shutdown. I enjoy playing solo, but tend to not as much when its LA hot. Misery lives company.

Love playing solo, put the wireless earbuds in and fly through a round

One of the most relaxing things you can do

I’ve played TPC Louisiana solo a few dozen times. Nothing beats it. You can be done in 2.5 hours and hit multiple balls and shots to see what else you could have tried.

i'll walk 9 by myself often--usually at the end of the day

I do.
It rarely happens because I play regularly with my best friend since childhood, a couple of my neighbors, and also my 7-year-old
I prefer playing with them than playing solo, but it's nice playing a round with no one else.
Played 18 solo at the wetlands a couple weeks back and realized after the round I didn't say an entire word for the whole round.
Didn't even curse myself.

I like playing solo. Matter of fact one of my best rounds ever was solo at the Bluffs. Only problems are, sometimes I rush myself and I hate playing thru. I do like to play fast but once I hit a bad shot, I'm in practice mode and don't keep score.

same, twilight solo golf is great. I can take my cart and pop out on a par 5 from my street then play a loop with par 5, then par 4, then par 3 and call it an evening.

When I was in grad school, I played by myself all the time. I enjoyed it. I'd usually play two balls and it allowed me to work on my game a lot more than just going to the driving range without feeling worried about holding anyone up. I also found it quite peaceful and serene to play alone.

An early evening solo round with an empty course is the closest thing to heaven this lifetime gets.

I absolutely love playing solo rounds. Nothing better than an early morning Saturday or Sunday, tee off about 7:15 am. Nobody out there yet, sun just coming up, dew on the ground. Walk using push cart, put some classic rock on the bluetooth speaker, and light up a cigar.
My lock screen on my phone is a shot I hit on #5 at Oakbourne during one of these rounds. My second shot from 190 using a 4 hybrid, hit to about 4 feet. It was such a picturesque moment.

Love it if I can fly through and play in under 2 hours. Ever since COVID, no matter what time of day I go I'm stuck waiting by the first green so it's not as fun.
