We're "snowflakes" and aren't usually in TV during the "crowded" season, so I need some help.
We are home-owners and have my brother and his wife coming in to play some executive golf the week of Jan 1. We will probably want to play at least 9 holes a day. I have always just gotten my Tee times within 3 days of playing so I could look at what's available on the different courses and pick what I want. I do pay the $8 a month for the on-line capability..
Question 1 - Will waiting until 3 days before we want to play be feasible during this time period (Dec 29 - Jan 5) or is it too crowded then to be able to get a tee time for a foursome that way?
Question 2 - If I do need to use the 7-day-in-advance "Reservation" system, I know we will go to the back of the line due to having 2 guests in the foursome. Can somebody tell me how much I have to "open up" my request to be sure of getting a tee time? I assume the safest thing is to say "any course, any time", but how much can I reduce that and still be sure of getting something? (i.e. I would prefer to play south of 466, since we're in St. James, but if I limit the courses to that, would I need to put "any time of the day" to be sure of getting a tee time or could i limit it to just in the morning one day (or just afternoon another day) depending on what else we have going on that day?)
Thanks in advance for the help - I love this forum!!
