Just a short response. If u r trying to book a slot for 4 seven days out and 2 r guests, you can forget it. Guests go to the bottom of the list and u will likely be shut out. Better to wait 3 days before and then c what is available and then book. The choices r not as great, but u will know right away if u have a tee time.

If you have a 5 or greater during peak season, as a resident, you are a high pointer!!

I got two guests on three different days in March last year. Our request started with the first tee time available in the morning and we got early tee times each day on courses nearby (Bogart, Becall, and Truman), which is what we prefer. I think your best bet are the early tee times as many people would prefer to avoid them.

some are playing the system
Quote:
I recently tried to get a decent time with a three hour window and 6 courses selected.. I had a guest and was denied....I picked an open time and selected it playing with two "locals". Funny thing when I got there the scheduled second was "unable" to attend so the other folks I was pared with had a "convenient guest" replace the person requesting the time...I certainly hope the Villages puts a stop to this and it should be happening at the starter's shack. |

not clear
Quote:
I did everything by the book..the couple I was paired with chose to manipulate the system by using someone's id and then replacing that person with a "guest". The starter approved it on the spot.I didn't want to get negative but I wasn't clear I guess.. It is a clear manipulation of the system to get a preferred time for a guest...I did attend the school, BTW and manipulation was not discussed. |

rp001 - don't think people are understanding you didn't do it, but the other couple did. I have heard of using this manipulation, but like someone else posted the person that didn't show got hit with a 3 point penalty, but I guess if they don't golf it wouldn't make much difference. Interesting scam, don't you think?
