Public golf courses that have a GPS system on the cart that's constantly giving audible reminders for you to keep up/you're behind pace when there is no ranger on the course enforcing slow play. It took us 4:50 to play yesterday as a twosome. That and the fact that we had to listen to ads that we could not disable will make it the last time I ever play that course. We walked the back nine which was much more peaceful but there were 300+ yard walks between a couple of the holes. I told the guys in the pro shop that it was a real turn off to listen to advertising from the GPS system with no option to turn it off and they agreed. The whole experience reminded me of how lucky I am to play at a private course where a 3:40 round during peak weekend times is normal and a 4:05 round is about as slow as they get. I play a lot in the evenings and those rounds average about 2:40.
Our cart yesterday was telling us to stay on the cart path while we were on the cart path. We finished up at about 4:10 which wasn't that bad for that course and given that we had to wait on our shots.
