I golf executive courses with about 20 different players. We sometimes cannot get a ttime at an executive course, but there will be dozens, if not over a hundred unused ttimes at the existing pitch and putts. This is an obvious indicator that too many courses have been designed as P&Ps instead of executive courses. A lot of people on the P&Ps are those who were denied a ttime at an executive course. What a waste.

I'm curious about this.
Are you consistently trying to find 5 times (20 players) together?
How many times a week are you requesting times, and what is your batting average for getting times?

We had some larger groups like yours and found that we had to split up into smaller groups in order to get better luck finding times.

This is the time of the year when I start going out as a single.

Getting (5) sequential tee times during prime time, is nearly impossible at any golf course in the USA.

Getting (5) sequential Tee Times at a FREE golf course, during prime season, is finitely harder.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 01:13 AM.
