This I don’t understand???

I'm not a golfer, but maybe the 4pm time is the latest you can start your game???

Meaning, for example, if you look at open tee times for this upcoming Sunday, you'll see a 4pm available at Truman.

Please, p lease, please! The last tee time - legitimate tee time is 3:58. You may tee off and finish the round - approx 1 hr and 30 min. so you may still be on the course as late as 5:30. The last tee time is NOT 4:00 pm.

Nope! Tee times end at 4, not play! I played last night and it was about 520 when we got done.

It is because of lack of employees. Villages gave the ambassadors the option to not work because of this virus. 26 employees took him up on it so they don’t have enough staff. There is no national standard. Every state does what they feel is best with guidance from the federal government. We are still the United States of America and we are not under martial law. I’m amazed at how many people just so easily give up their civil freedoms

:ho: Technically not a bunch. Once a day at Truman for 4 players.

Truman and Roosevelt don't have 9 minute tee times. They have 10 minutes between tee times. It's because of the 1 tee layout on each. They are next to each other and stagger their starts every 5 minutes. One goes and 5 minutes later the other and 5 minutes later the 1st. goes again.

:shrug: Does this happen on other courses here? Or are these the only 2? Not sure who was trying to muddy what........:icon_wink:

Yes. It happens on other courses. And this was only a sampling from Sunday's tee times. Plenty of 4pm's tomorrow and Saturday as well.

are you kidding -- it is not what you are supposed to be doing -- those paths are not for you

I understand there are numerous ambassadors that have quit given the corona virus condition. Thus the courses do not have enough ambassadors to conduct business.

They did not "quit", they had the option to work or not given the present situation with no repercussions.

Ask anyone there are no rules that apply to entitled people.

200 folk over where? Which course? At 4 persons per tee time, 200 people equal 50 tee times. Did you walk into Publix and think you were at a golf course?

Sort of over dramatizing your count? Thought so.....

You really think with all the confusion the CLUELESS have on this post about no tee times after 4pm that they could figure out what day is early start and which day is late start?

That would really be hilarious to see their responses to that.

What part of THE LAST TEE TIME is 4 PM is hard to understand???
There will be golfers ON THE COURSE until 8 PM if they are playing 18.
I just hope the previous post is ignored by everyone, otherwise community watch will be inundated with stupid calls, perhaps to the detriment of someone who really needs their help

PLEASE STOP posting crap if you have no idea of what you are talking about

You will see golfers on the course after 4. Those who had the last few tee times have to finish. You should not see golfers on the first few holes after 4. By 5:30 there should be no one.

I can play pretty quick, but not 18 holes in 1 1/2 hours. Did you read the previous post????

And if someone tees off at 3:58, they'll still be on the first hole after 4

Isn’t that what I just said?

I'm sorry, I thought you said there shouldn't be anyone on the first few holes after 4 and no one on the course after 5:30, or did I misread it? What you said in some way might apply to the execs, but not the regular courses.

I'm not being argumentative or picky, I just want people to ignore the erroneous post that suggested community watch be called if anyone sees golfers on the courses after 4.

Come on people. This not that hard to understand. You have to tee off at or BEFORE 4:00 and you get to finish. No one can start a round after 4:00.

I may not have said it correctly but I’m agreeing with you 100%. I just meant there will be people on the course after 4 as those with pre-4 pm tee times finish. I guess my thought was executive in that no one should be on the first couple tees after 4. Championship golfers could be making the turn. Did I say it right this time?

I live on an executive course and there is no regard for closing time. There are people out there when it gets dark as well a others using the golf cart paths at night for shortcuts. I have called numerous times and nothing happens. I asked why not put a small barrier across the path at the entrance saying closed . The golf office said it was to hard to do. Oh well, I still love it here because the few people who break the rules make the rest of us look great.

Fake News!

So much for that group of golfers who like to play nine holes late in the day during the summer. I know there are many. I sure hope this isn’t a permanent change.

Close enough:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

OK, kiddies, this will be post # 107 on this subject, and it's not really all that complicated. I'll try to be definitive.

The last TEE TIME is 4 PM (or 3:58 if you prefer)

What this means:

On executive courses, at 4:03, there will be groups on EVERY hole, the last group on the 1st green (hopefully)

By 5:30, the course would (hopefully) be empty, but give it to 6PM. After that, any of the self appointed golf course police can feel free to call somebody.

On championship courses, there will be groups on EVERY hole, the last ones being halfway down the 1st fairway. By 8PM (hopefully) the course should be empty, but give it to 8:15. At that point the same self appointed golf course police can call somebody. The golfers will be easily recognized by the flashlights they are carrying

:confused: "Ambassador said course closed." What else needed to be said? :boom:

Ideally but all it takes is one very slow group on the course to slow down the entire course. It normally tales anywhere from 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours to play a round when it is busy. Even playing with just a foursome with nobody in front of you will take over an hour and a half on most executive courses.. That is why they always have a few tee times they don't reserve during the day so they can catch up.

They routinely kick people off the golf cart paths walking on the golf courses open or closed. There are signs that say golf traffic only posted on them.

If it takes you 2 hours to play an executive course, without being held up by heavy play, then perhaps you should try pickle ball.

Saw an ambassador moving non golfing people off the Palmer golf course at 6:45 p.m.. Good to see.

What is the purpose of closing the courses at 4PM now?

I used to go onto the executive courses near me in the early evening after they were closed and play until dark. I paid annual cart fee and it never was a problem.

The problem is your ignorance (or ignoring) the rules set out by the organization that own the property. Simple.

The courses DO NOT close at 4 PM.
The LAST TEE TIME for ALL courses is 4 PM.
The Exec courses put up a CLOSED sign after the last group finishes (about 6 PM).
The Championship courses allow you to finish your round, that's why you see golfers still out there.
Walkers, joggers, or bikers were never allowed on the golf courses.
