We had a 1:00 teetime yesterday at Osprey at Evans Prairie, we checked in with the starter about 12:15 and he said, you can go whenever you like, there are no other groups between now and then. As it worked out, just as we finished the ninth hole it started to pour, we had only planned on playing nine. I play the championship courses every week and usually every afternoon is like this in the summer. No real need to build more courses, just maintain the ones you have.
In the winter, we also play the afternoons, not because of the price because there is no 11:00 discount like in the summer, but due to the 'waves'. You have to tee off basically by 9:30 or otherwise wait until 11:56 and I'm just not a morning golfer. I found the afternoons in most championship courses in the winter are pretty sparse as well, especially Palmer. Why they charge more and yet no one is out there most winter afternoons is baffling.
