Golf Course Flow Management
What's the story? I have a few groups that play golf. We usually start around 11:45 two or three times a week. Without exception every time we start the second nine, groups are put in front of us. This really destroys the continuity. We wait for fifteen to twenty minutes. I have been a member at several golf communities and have never experienced this "feature"! Looks like $$$ is #1 and much more important than priority golf management!

By the way, as you must know, a "wave" goes off at 12:56. The estimated playing time for nine is two hours and ten minutes on priority courses and if you play well and fast, you will have several groups allowed in front of you at the turn. This will be better of course after the high season is over, but you have been here long enough to know that. The golf here is assuredly different than many of us have experienced at any private country club back home....but it is cheaper too.

9 hole players go off between 1:30 and 2:00 so they go off in front on the people making the turn. $$

9 hole players have tee times the same as 18 hole players.They have a right to the tee box at their assigned times.

AT THE GOOD GOLF SCHOOL, you learn about the wave/turn system. It appears that you are booking between waves, so the people turning from the morning wave appear to be ahead of you. Be careful when requesting t-times to book within the wave for your desired course. The wave times may vary slightly from course to course.

I agree with you on 9 hole tee times. I was just stating how the 1156 wave gets held up on the turn. They schedule 9 hole tee times between the waves and if you finish in less than two hours you have to wait. I in no way meant that 9 hole tee times were bad.

The 9 hole tee times from 1:32 thru 1:56 are not scheduled "in between the waves", they are actually part of the 11:56 - 1:56 (PM) wave. 18 hole round players also use these times. Everyone should know the last tee time in the PM is 1:56 and it's not going to change so they just have to pace themselves accordingly.
