Or you can just look on the back of every championship course scorecard for the course rating and slope for each 18-hole rotation.

When you book a time between 1:30 and 2:00 (actually 1:56, that's the end of the 2nd wave) at any of the championship courses, you have to book for 18 holes; when you get to the golf shop to check in, tell the person that waits on you that you want to play 9 holes. You can play 9 holes at Lopez Tori Pines and Evans Egret any time of day but you have to call the respective course or the Tee Times Office to book those times. The 1:30 time will get later and will change as the winter season transitions into the summer season. Hope this helps.....

That's the clearest explanation I have read. thank-you

I'm relieved that i don't want to play 9 holes on a championship course because based on this thread its easier to crack the code of a rubric cube then to figure out championship 9 hole scheduling...what happen to the KISS principle?

Actually, it is KISS

Normally, after the afternoon wave, you pay the 9 hole rate and can play 9, or 6, or 13, or 23---unlimited play, subject to availability

In January, as a test program, Egret at EP and Torri Pines at NL are 9 holes all day. Call tee time office in advance, or course on day of play.

That's it. Except to mention Egret has been pretty empty---I guess fewer people want to pay $18.50 for 9 as opposed to a "free" exec. But this time of year, it's a great option for getting on a course at the last minute.

So many ways to say the same thing.....................

Which ones are $18.50 for nine? a link is fine

It's just 1/2 price of 18, whatever category you fit into. $18.50 is the priority rate at EP. PL would probably be $21.50 (after afternoon wave)

I think it's $26 for EP as a resident member. I hope I'm wrong.

unfortunately you're right. EP is $52 for resident member this time of year

Tee off on Egret in 1 hour---1st full nine since August. This should be a scoring disaster! But I'll still probably do better than par of 72 (Oops, that's for 18):1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

That's great news. Enjoy the walk, the scenery and the camaraderie. Don't let the golf get in the way.

I think I let the space between my ears get in my way. 41--5 bogies, 4 pars, BUT... 2 bogies by sailing it in the water on 1&9, by 1 foot, and 2 three putts. How to turn a 37 into a 41 in a hurry

golfing eagles: my definition of KISS application concerning this issue is that I can go on the tee time system and select either 9 or 18 holes on any championship golf course here. Its done all over the country and in fact is one of the strategies by the golf industry to bring back the 5 million or so people who left the game. Playing 9 was a double assist here in that it reduced the cost and reduce the play time as some folks complained golf took too long ...its how "ready play" and "while I 'm young" have become the golf mantra

That's my story and I'm sticking to it:D

Might create some gaps in the wave format, but I suppose the 9 holers could be spread out. On the other hand, if the course is fully booked with 18 hole rounds, why would they cut revenue by putting 9 hole play in the rotation?
