Default Easy to play as single

on the executive courses also. I used to do it a lot when we just came down for a couple of weeks at a time. If you sign up ahead, you are usually set up with a couple (or just 2 friends) and another single. Have met lots of nice people this way, only 1 or 2 unpleasant experiences, and those weren't really unpleasant, just not as much fun.

You can either sign up ahead of time or call the courses the same day, but also keep in mind that there are often lots of no-shows. A good place to try just showing up are the 3 courses at 1 starter shack just behind Pimlico Rec Center. Odds improve.

Also usually easiest to get on in the afternoon, maybe 3:00.

Also, don't forget about signing up for Ladies' Day on Wednesday. Check out golfthevillages.com. You are always paired randomly - no one can sign up together.
