The "Group" as a group, are a bunch AH's, who think the world owes them and the Starters are their lackeys. In what world, can you book a group of 20 guys at a golf course, in prime time ... & then allow them to switch players, groups & times? |

The tee time system that The Villages have come up with is fair, if someone has low points they versus high points that person is treated fairly!

I think playing as a single isn't as bad as most people think. I think at least 98% of the time I've had a good experience and the other 2% is just where you tolerate the other 3 people but you still can enjoy playing your round.

My first experience ever playing golf was here is the villages. I was a little slow.
The people behind us were Absolutely horrible and that was just on the pitch n putt. I can’t even imagine an executive course. I played my first and last game of golf all in the same day on a pitch n putt. |

Again almost all golfers are a pleasure to golf with, at least by the 9th hole. |

Golf in The Villages is public golf. "Groups" have to function within those parameters ... they're not entitle to any "special treatment" by golf course staff. They shouldn't be switching around players into different groups, switching foursome Tee Times, nor making things uncomfortable or difficult, for those who legitimately booked a Tee Time. If a Group ends up with Threesomes, it's THEIR problem, not anyone else's. I typically book as a single and if a group tries to move me around, it's definitely a no-go. I'm playing at the time I booked and if you switch players around, so I'm playing in 2-some or 1-some, behind a group, I'm making a stink about it. The rules are the same for everyone, single, doubles & groups. You play at the time you reserved and play in the group you reserved with. & the group doesn't like it, tough luck ... they should do a better job managing their group. |

I called the Tee Time Office and they seemed to take it seriously. I'm not sure what the ultimate result was, but I'm sure it's not going to happen again to me. You're 100% right. Any abuse of the Tee Time system, should result in serious consequences. I don't play Executive Courses, but I'm sure they're even worse than the Championship courses when it comes to abuse of the system. It's like slow play on the PGA Tour. Nothing will change, until penalties that hurt are meted out. Penalize them strokes on the PGA Tour & suspend the Tee Time cheaters. |

But to me it’s simple, if there is an open spot that works for me, I’m taking it. If someone irrationally doesn’t like that, it’s their problem, not mine. |
I pick my course and time as a single. I also play whatever tee they are playing from. I usually walk so it gives me a break between shots. By the 9th hole I usually have made some new friends.
