You can on the online system but the OP is using the telephone system….no templates there ….

There is a reason the telephone system is free: It is much more cumbersome, and has fewer options. If you golf more than a couple times each week, the $8.00 monthly fee for the computer based system is well worth it, at least to me. Plus, the fee is per household, so if your spouse also uses it, so much the better. I manage a couple of golf groups, and my wife does the same for ladies groups. Wouldn't even think of trying to do this on the phone system.

I started using it when I wanted to play individually on Mondays at all the southern most courses no one else wanted to play or ride a cart to. I've met many nice people that way plus being able to play all the exe courses.:wave:

Some of these courses can be well over 30 mins by golf cart each way to get to if you're south of 466 and south of the turnpike or vice versa if the course is in the south end, or southeast (Sawgrass area). What's worse, when I do choose the south of 466 option, it seems to offer the northernmost courses first which is very inconvenient if you're at the southern end of TV.

Adding south of 466a and south of 44 as options would make a lot more sense.

After using the phone system for a few months, the $8 a month for the online system was well worth my time. Plus my wife likes to play with other couples, 1M,1F, makes her more comfortable. Plus templates are very helpful too as you can just put in say all the #4 rated courses or the closest courses to home or just the ones you like or if you are like me trying to play all the courses in the villages like I once did, you can easily put your latest exec course on the bottom thus getting to all 44+ courses sooner when making a reservation request. I also get emails when someone else includes me into one of my golfing buddy groups

HTH…
