Come on, you know the answer to your question. Very easy to get Championship T Times at $75+ per round. The poster is referencing Executive T Times that are part of the sunk cost amenity fees. Totally different animal.

And tomorrow there are 34 tee times on execs well in advance of darkness and more if you want to flirt with sundown. This doesn’t include over 200 on those pitch and putts

Exactly...

While I'm not yet full time, when I was down in October, I played at least 4 Xs/week, playing both exec and champ courses. Same for when I was down for 2 weeks last month...

I'll go out as a solo, joining a group. It's a great way to meet new people...

Or, my wife and I will look for another couple a day or three before we want to play.

We've yet not to find a reasonable time...

Right, there are 34 open T times for singles late in the day available on the over 40 Executive courses, and even more on the few glorified mini golf courses, all of which are already paid for with the monthly amenity fee. Yet, there are hundreds of openings throughout the day, not limited to singles, on the various 13 Championship courses that charge $75+ per round. Again, it’s a totally different animal. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it just exemplifies that the Executives are running at full capacity during busy season and the Championships are readily accessible when changing the current high season green fees.

Adam gets 2 points, John gets just 1.

Correct that was a single scenario. But can be done to multiple players in a group to open complete slots. Easy to condense a group of 16 down to 12 and open a tee time.

Greens fees, Jan-May, most courses---$69.50 (tax not included) $6 more at SO, $6 less at Hacienda and $15 less at OBH.

If you play about 60 times/year get the priority membership---you'll pay $51.50 instead and break even, saving $$$ if you play more and move up on the tee time cue as well.

Since execs are free, I would expect them to fill up in high season.

I'm wondering if any of you in this thread feel as I do that the greens we are playing here are the worst in the past ten years that I've seen. I played Hawkes Bay and then went to Truman with both of them having far too much dirt on them to be worth calling a green???
