Please see posts #63,64, & 67

You can't tee off after 4, but you might be on the course at 8 if it is an 18 holes course

Because if you give some folks an inch, they take a mile. Then someone would ask...My toddler grands are here and they get up early so we let them go out to the sand trap with their toys. Unless you play golf, you don't understand that it is not a park.

I don’t think we are reading the same rule. Obviously, if you can tee off at 3:58, you are “legal” to finish your game.

Of course you are allowed to finish if you tee off at 3:58. If you start after the last tee time you will be asked to leave. What is so hard to understand??

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

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.

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

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.
