But you’re correct, except for groups with 2 guests which would rank even lower |

At least they let you forward it to your main email. Thanks.
Logging into the Tee Time system is tedious to just check something quickly. |

I understand there is nothing I can do to change it, but in my opinion it’s wrong and totally sucks that priority guests get an advantage over resident members. Guests should be treated as guests regardless of the Village’s resident they are visiting.

The other view is: How much do non-priority residents pay to make it more likely to get a tee time when they have guests? ZERO. Which is probably the reason the system is the way that it is. |

In my experience, if one person in the group has a lot of points, it'll keep the entire group from obtaining a tee time. Hubby and I had to drop out of our neighborhood group because we were playing almost every day while the others basically only played once a week with the group.

That's why it was called "Priority"., now "Enhanced".

So if I want to play with a priority member who is requesting a tee time for us, even though I am a Villages resident, he/she would have a better chance of getting the tee time request if they put me into the system as their guest. It’s not right for guests, who don’t pay for an enhanced membership, to have priority over a resident.

The others would argue that while their guest doesn't pay for an enhanced membership, their host does. Notice how I'm carefully neutral on this one. I also suppose, from the developer's point of view, a resident already lives here, a guest has the potential to eventually buy. A guest who can't get a tee time probably won't. |

Can’t argue with that logic, selling homes is clearly the top priority. Residents already took the plunge, guests are a target market. That still doesn’t make it right, but what can ya do.

Points for Playing - when applied?
When Requests are made for a tee time 2 or 3 days in advance, you can see the number of points that players have AT THAT TIME. However, when the algorithm actually is awarding the tee times, the POINT count may have changed. So which time is the agorithm looking at?
Since the points last 7 days (correct?), it is difficult to know how many points your group will have? Your advice on the point count? Also, does it make any difference when you submit the request? Do earlier submissions have any priority over last minute requests? Thank you for your response. Quote:

Imagine that, selling housing is the top priority for a company that…… sells houses (and happens to own the championship courses).

There was a thread on here about larger groups getting priority without all being priority members. It was a hot subject and I think it made one of the online news outlets.
Maybe you’re better off joining one of the bigger clubs. |
