Obviously there is no problem in the summer, with all the snowbirds up north. The winter is a different story. I play a lot on the championship (18 hole) courses, and as a priority member, I can get tee times generally in the time and course I want, if I make the tee time well in advance ( say a week or 5 days). You have to buy the priority membership which gives you discount rates on the courses and gives you priority on the tee times. Money well spent. The executive courses are a different story. You need to put a wide window in on your course(s) and time request, and you'll generally get on. And you must make the tee times well in advance in advance if you want to play. You can't for the most part wake up iin the middle of February and say, "I'd like to play one of the Executive courses today". Unless there is a cancellation, it will be very difficult to get on, particularly if you're a twosome. So just remember to make the tee times in advance, keep a large window of time - at least 2-5 hours, and select a large number of exec courses, and you should be fine i.e. your request should be granted.
