Pitch and Putt Reservations(?)

[GpaVader]

I am looking to get my wife back into Golf and thought the Pitch and Putt courses might be a good option. I've been told you need to have reservations and that you can make the on TheVillages.net site but I don't see them anywhere. Can this be done on-line or is it just a phone call.

Just to make sure I have this correct, these are walking courses only no golf cars allowed.

Thanks in advance for the help.

On line with an $8/month fee. Via the automated telephone reservation system. Or, call the starter shack and ask about same day tee times. No carts. You can rent carry bags or bag carts for a nominal fee.

It's handled exactly like the executive courses. If you go when they are not busy, you can sign in as a walk on.

Is a person SOL if they are not a golfer and do not have access to the tee-time system - or can ressies be made some other way?

That's interesting, I have the account, I book my executive and championship courses all the time, but I don't see the Pitch and Putt courses anywhere or the category...

I think there is only one pitch and putt, and it's on the reservation system under exec courses----Marshview

Phone system---not very user friendly but doable

That’s the truth. I tried it once, took four attempts to get everything right. But, in the end, I got my tee time.

So are the rest Putt and Play and do you need a reservation from that?

No, they are first come, first serve. 3 Putt and Plays.

[Rainger99]

There is only one pitch and putt but they building two more. One in Richmond and one below Citrus Grove. Never had problems using phone to get a reservation!

[asianthree]

Richmond is coming along, should be close to open by fall. The putt and play you drop your ball in the hopper, and it’s your turn when your ball is next. Have to say they are the most boring, useless waste of time, but that’s just an opinion

The so-called "putting courses". I'm not sure, but I don't think so

[tophcfa]

Pitch and Putt reservations(?). I agree with the thread title, I have reservations about wasting my time playing one of those glorified mini golf courses. Especially when I learned you have to hit off a mat!

[nhtexasrn]

It's Marshview on the list.

There is a Pitch & Put at the new First Responders Rec Ctr.

Not a golfer and love the putt&play as similar to mini golf, but on grass. You would not want me on a golf tee, no sir.

[Jbbest]

There are Putt & Play courses (2-9 hole courses) one in Fenney, the other the new courses at Sawgrass. Then there is the Pitch & Putt (Marshview). The Putt & Play are first come, first serve; Marshview Pitch & Putt is reservation only.

I think the P&P are listed under the executive courses. To reserve you need to look up the course name. Ex. Marshview. Don't know the names of the others.

Nope…that is a putt and play.

Can you rent a golf club?

[Bogie Shooter]

Can you rent a golf club?

To play where?

I don’t think they rent clubs. Call the starter shack and ask.

You're kidding right, what the heck is a ressie.

In my opinion, Marshview is a great little course. It is a beautiful course with all of the Live Oak trees, lots of wildlife, and great views of Hogeye Sink. They put the pins in some very tricky positions, like right behind the mound on #4 or at the very front of the green on #17.

I agree the mats are in very bad condition and should definitely be replaced.

A very nice 18 hole putt and play course at the First Responders Rec Ctr. There's parking there too!
Unfortunately it's about a two hour ride if you live below 44, well almost.

At least the putt and play courses give you practice that's actually useful when you play a real golf course. But I see no real use hitting a ball 50 yards off a rubber tee. Also, anyone, even my great grand mama can swing a putter. Hitting a pitching wedge however is not easy for a complete neophyte. But you can take anyone, no matter what their age or skill level, to a putt and play..

Rental clubs available at Marshview.

Good to know.

[Papa_lecki]

I counted 4 pieces of mis information in this thread, that could have been answered with a call directly to the starter or a trip to the starter (with dinner and drinks at Edna’s).

I played the Fenney putt-n-play once and hated it. I had to hit every putt pretty hard and it really messed up my putting stroke.

I have played the Sawgrass putt-n-play a few times and used my 5-hybrid instead of my putter, just like do if I am off the green on a regular golf course. It was good practice and I enjoyed it.

Great tip! I've never hear of those and I've been playing golf for over 50 years!

When we used to play in the winter up north, before we discovered the Villages, we would bring a cordless drill and drill a hole into the frozen ground so we could put in a regular tee. Dam, did the ball roll a long way on the frozen ground.
