Placement points take precedence. If we restrict the scope to executive courses. A resident is assigned 6 placement points, a guest is assigned 7 placement points.
A group with 4 residents has 24 placements points. A group with 3 residents and a guest has 25 placement points.
The group with least placement points goes first into the queue. Reservation points (how much you played) will only be considered when groups have the SAME placement points.
To restate, a group of four residents will get a tee time ahead of a group with 3 residents and a guest EVEN IF that group with four residents has played every day and the group with 3 residents and a guest has never played.

AJ - That does not agree with the discussions I have had at the golf administration office regarding the executive courses. The explanation I received was that groups containing residents only have priority over groups with a guest. Priority for tee time or course is based on the average points for the whole group. So a request for a group with an average of 2.5 points per player will be assigned tee times before a group with an average of 3 points per player. The other consideration is the number of tee times required by the request. If the request is for 16 players, the system must find 4 consecutive times within the time frame the group requests. And the system will go down the course list until it can find 4 slots within that time frame. If you request course priority instead of time priority, the system will keep looking at the preferred course until it finds the right number of consecutive slots.
There are only two types of points. The reservation/play point one receives for making the reservation and playing. The reservation point is awarded even if the course is closed for frost or other problems. The others are the points received for canceling, either before the day of play (1), or on the day of play (2).
I would be interested in where the information on placement points came from.
