I heard from another golfer last trip that sometimes in the summer only on certain days you can play certain other exec courses as 18 holes, but not all.

Actually, don't think I even want to play 18 anymore, but still feel somehow this need to know . . .
In the summer you can request 18 holes at executives, but I would also do this over the winter when you can only request 9. The way I do it is put in a request for 9 at say Bogart and Bacall to try and play around 2.... After I get the request filled I go and make a reservation at another for an available time after say 4:15 at the one I did not get.

We did this several times this year playing Redfish at 2-3 and yankee at 4:30-5 (before Yankee was 18).

Keep in mind before daylight savings this is a much tougher thing. Now it is simple. The tee time system will only balk if you put your reservation too close to your request. In other words, say your request is 3:12 at Truman. Now you go to make a reservation and look at available tee times and see there is 5:09, 5:19, 5:29 at Roosevelt. If you select 5:09 at Roosevelt, the system will say you have a conflicting time, but will let you select 5:29.

Hope that makes sense....
