It is free golf on the championship courses on Christmas Day. Not on New Years that I know of, just Christmas Day. There are no tee time reservations. Show up and get in line.

Default Busy, busy, busy...
So I gather it's busy on the championship courses on Christmas Day?? Maybe we should stick to the executive courses.

To avoid long lines and slow play, defenitely do the executives. When i did the championship the line at 630 am was 6 forsomes. By 9 it was 15 foresomes. Very slow also, 5.5 hr round.

On Executive courses, are the Starter Shacks open on Christmas Day? Or do golfers just walk on and play?

Sounds like shopping on Xmas eve. I assume, there is no one to man, the golf courses.

Merry Xmas and happy golfing.

No starters shacks are open, no cart rentals, no club rentals. Employees will be on the Champ. Courses just to keep order. No employees on the execs.

And they're going to pull out all the pins and fill the holes to cut down on putting time.

There's a little blurb about the free Christmas golf in today's Daily Sun (12/16) on B2 of sports.

It'll tell you about which championship courses can be used for 9 hole and which for 18 hole play.

It's not all that bad. I've played every year since 2006 except for once when it rained ALL day.

You just gotta get lucky and show up when the lines are short. Slow play? that's a given.
