We have tee times every day for 2 people no problems

The problem is people are resorting to golf who shouldn;t be playing golf....hack...hackkk...hacccckkkk...

They stopped tee times after 4 pm also, so you have a lot of requests jammed into a shorter availability. Also, everything else is shut down, so many groups are turning to golf.

Exactly who gets to decide who shouldn't be playing golf?

I’m thinking nobody wants to go home. I was saying the same thing booked solid

[dewilson58]

Lots of openings today.

You also have a lot of empty spaces since folks put in non-golfing friends for foursomes when there are only two or three of them. Then one or two surprisingly don't show up at the last minute and they don't have to play with strangers.

I think the golf courses are so full is because of the people who are going up north don't want to go back until this virus is contained. Also don't forget we have a lot more residents then we did in years past and a lot of them are full timers.

Haven't seen any posts making fun of police officers and were not turning golf ambassadors into heroes. You're probably one of those wondering why they can't work a few extra hours.

Mallory has been totally closed until yesterday. It amazes me that you don't know this. If you've played any golf at all or read the news on an ongoing basis, you would know all this.

Starting Monday, May 4th, executive tee times are back to “normal”...I.e. you can schedule until 7pm. That should free up the golf a bit.

This was a brief mention in today’s paper and I just verified it on the tee time system.

Well Happy May Day. The traditional day when our winter visitors who can't stand the heat fly back to their summer abodes by cool lakes and green forests and sand beaches.....Maybe we will see some easing up on tee times....

Sweetgum and Pineallas are closed; only Mangrove is open. Both Bogart and Bacall are closed today. Probably others all across The Villages. All traffic goes to the open courses, making tee times scarce.

. There is no course here called Pineallas. Do you mean Palmetto?

FYI, starting Monday tee times are available after 4 pm. Expect all the haters to be complaining about that.

Even with some (or many) snowbirds heading back north at the end of April, the executive golf courses are booked solid this weekend. Maybe some (or many) of them are staying yet another month? And with weather like we had today, who can blame them?
