You are better off playing with guys that live within a mile of your home. Where in the world is Sherwood Villas West? It might help to describe where it's located. (I'm above 466 myself)
You didn't mention what type of course you want to play (Championship, Executive, or (aghast) Chip and Putt ), that matters.
Best thing to do is sign up for the online tee time system - $8 per month but well worth it. Ok, sign in and click on the "Reservations - View Open Tee Times." Select the course you want to play (ideally near your home). BTW the online system does all three types of courses.
You will see all the tee times available for that day/course. If a time is "full" it will have a 0 in the "Number Available" column. If it is empty, it will have a 4. Look for a time that has a 3. This means there's one person already playing. If no 3s are available, look for a 4, that again means that it's empty. I would not put myself with a 2 or a 1, unless that is all that's available. If you put yourself in an open time space (4), there's a very good chance someone will join you when it's time to tee off.

Good luck
Great advice!!!
