Country club, you're likely guarantee a sub 4 hour round due to the limited play it gets.
Best time to play anywhere is before 9am. Most guys willing to go that early know what they're doing and will maintain the right pace.
I get in ~50 rounds a year, and 90% of the time I'm either playing before 8am, or after 3pm. This is the best way to get around quickly or reasonably.

That is so true. The later the tee times the slower the rounds go. Anything after 11:00 am is unbearable.
The other problem is courses being able to find marshalls that will actualy enforce the pace of play. Most of them just smile and say hello to everyone while they continue thier on going search for lost golf balls.
