Executive Courses changes
Just received this message on the villages.net when looking at executive tee times.
Until further notice, No Guests are allowed on ANY Executive Courses |

This has been effective for a while now since no-cash transactions became part of protocol.

Cash
Not sure I understand the relationship between cash and guests. We all have credit cards.

But execs don’t have capability for credit cards, except in the south.

(If) the golf administration would be willing , a guest fee could be pre-paid just as trail fees are pre-paid for non priority members or those that have not paid the yearly trail fee ahead of time and paid a la carte with cash.
But that is a BIG IF and probably not going to happen . |

Now , snowbirds staying longer , championship courses closing 18 holes , pickleball being closed , softball closed , rec centers closed , town squares closed , pools closed , restaurants closed , etc ....(I’m sure I’ve missed a few) Those were significant reasons why it became a little more difficult to obtain tee times ..... |

Guests weren’t the reason for the shortage of tee times. It was all the reasons you give in your post. Not allowing guests to play for a while just made more tee times available for residents. |

I think part of not having guests was to try to curtail the"virus" that "might" be coming from out of towners

This next statement is fact : when a group (say , foursome) puts in a request with a guest , ALL of the resident’s requests are processed FIRST by the computer system. The groups with guests get processed LAST and in many cases , they <may> get bumped out due to the lack of availability. So, having a guest in the mix actually helps the resident’s ability to get a tee time because of the prioritization described . Here is another fact : many of the people that are having problems getting a tee time is because they are not flexible enough with their requests. I have a group of 6~8 golfers who plays every Thursday. For the request, I will ask for a 10:56 preferred tee time. Earliest time @ 10:00 , latest time 12:00 and I select Time over course. Then I will make my course selections based on which ones we would “prefer” to play ...... but , here is the key to getting something..... I will list 18 ~20 courses on my request !!!!! All of them 466 and south. And so we have never (NOT ONCE) been denied a tee time . And that summarizes my longish post (sorry) . You wanna play , FLEXIBILITY is the key ! |

But one other fact remains. There is a fixed number of tee times. Elimination of guests means more tee times for residents, irrespective of how they are prioritized. Last edited by Polar Bear; 06-06-2020 at 07:10 AM. |

That “other fact “ is a given ...... additionally, there are LESS tee times available during the busy season because of less daylight during those months . It is BECAUSE of the prioritization system (not irrespective of) when it comes to guests that more tee times are available for residents...... Last edited by jarodrig; 06-06-2020 at 07:37 AM. |
