When making a request you specify choice of course(s), preferred tee time, and acceptable "window" time.

Example 1: You and your partners have played frequently in the previous seven days. You request a tee time of 10:00AM. You request a "window" of 9:00AM and 11:00AM. You request only one course. Your chance of acceptance is nil.

Example 2: You and your partners have not played during the prior seven days. You request a tee time of 10:00AM. You request a window of 9:00AM and 3:00PM. You request your preferred courses plus "any other course". Your chances are excellent.

The examples are the extremes as most of us will fall somewhere in between. They refer to up to four players on executive courses during the busy months.

I am of the opinion the tee time system is very fair in the distribution of tee times.

Hope this helps. Comments by other residents welcome as I always fear I may mistakenly lead someone astray.
I don't golf! But the other person who lives in our house does...and frequently. This explanation has been given to me...and I would say it's quite clear and factual. I've been told that if a person is flexible with times and courses...they will get a T-time!
