If something comes up and you can't play that day of golf always call the starter and let them know. That way golfers looking for an open time will make use of the slot.

We love going up north to golf. Our amenity fees cover it, so why not. Just find other things to do. Road-trips in the cart followed by great times at the selected 19th all make it fun.

Speaking as a starter…. THANK YOU!
Also to group leaders. If you know the night before who isn’t going to make it. Remove them and rearrange your group to free up slots. On one morning shift I have had as many as 21 no-shows from groups and foursomes where ‘guests’ used to fill the slot aren’t going to make it. Think about that x the other courses, Hundreds.

As of today, there are 6 executives closed for extended maintenance.

They are Yankee Clipper; Southern Star; Oakleigh; Belmont, Palmetto; and Heron.

I think they should do as much extended maintenance between Memorial Day and Labor Day rather than during the peak season. The courses are less in demand in the low season.

Unfortunately, there is no way to rearrange groups via the website. You have to call the Tee Time Office to compress players into a lesser number of tee times and possibly free up an entire tee time when you have players cancel. It would be nice if you could move around players, via the website, when players have to cancel.

Agree, maintenance is also much easier and faster if done during growing season.

[Boffin]

Maintenance should remain in peak season months.

Need to add Tarpon Boil, Redfish Run and Bonita Pass. The fungus trio.

Are they closed? Or just in bad shape?

Yes you can by using the cancel and substitute player options. We do it all the time. If Adam calls you and says they can’t play and you want to move John to Adam’s spot; cancel John first and then substitute Adam with John. Adam is gone and John has been moved.

There are many that need work, but not Oakleigh. They should look for the worse 1st.

One would think that, but unfortunately that is not the way it appears to be done here. We played Briarwood this past Sunday, which had just re-opened after a period of months and the expenditure of well over half a million dollars undergoing "renovation", and other than some sod put down around some of the greens and two sections of concrete golf path (about 20' each) replaced, it looked no different than it had before "renovation" started, other than of course looking better than most courses given that it had had no player traffic on it for some time.

One has to wonder. Briarwood was easily one of the more attractive and well-kept courses even before this "renovation". Yet it was closed while some courses in significantly worse shape remained open.

Closing occasionally helps keep the good staying good, rather than continuing to overuse and abuse to the point where it can't regrow and needs full replacement. The peak season is when the highest number of people put the biggest burden on the courses and do the most damage. Golf courses are living things. This is when they are most vulnerable. They can use a break now and then on a year round basis. After all they are meant to be enjoyed year round, not just during the winter when the part timers show up.

Does John wind up with 3 Points (2 for cancelling and then 1 for playing) or does the system know enough to only assign 1 playing point to John? Does Adam wind up with 2 cancellation points?

What about the single hoping for an open spot?
Screwed again. 😔
