WHen requesting a tee time are you more apt to GET a tee time if you request by time rather than course or course rather than time???
Anyone have any insight??

For me it is Time. I have had no trouble getting within one hour of my preferred time now that most of the snowbirds are gone. When looking for an Executive course I usually use a selection of six courses and I am playing 3 times per week. Course is fine if you have minimal play points and a wide time range selected. In season is a different story.
Since I only play a Championship course once a week it does not matter which I choose.

It really depends ... if there are a lot of people requesting the time or the same course. You should have little problem getting your requested tee time, or close to it, at your requested course in the summer. In the winter... better have a big window and a few courses in your request.

I prefer by course. I list them by preference and select a rather large window.
This way I get a course I like instead of an exact time on a less desirable course. As the snow birds flee I can make the window narrower.
BTW, in my estimation, all of the courses are good but some are better than others.

This time of year you should not have any problem securing a tee-time. During the busy season the bigger your time window and number of courses selected, the better chance you have. We haven't been shut out of a Championship course in years.
