Put your request in 4 days ahead. Put in a lot of courses (more than 7).
Put in a span of time of at least 3 hours(more is better)
If your group has more than 2 pts each you may not get your requested time but you will probably get something.
Make sure you put in time preference instead of course preference.
When we have 0 pts we get our first choice course and time
As others have suggested, it is easier to get on the northern courses
I hope this helps

The playing season for golf in Minnesota is not quite as long as in states south of y'all.

I have no difficulty getting tee times on Executive courses. I tee off every single weekday between 9:30 and 10:30 AM.

The key is to give the tee time system computer a long list of courses and at least a 90-minute window to make your reservation. Having said that, I like to play the 6-8 courses closest to my home. With very few exceptions, I get tee times on those courses in my 9:30-10:45 AM window.

Also, have you used the "open times by tee time" option when trying to make a reservation? There is always a long list of open tee times, even during the high season.

There are plenty of tee times available in the summer months, even with the elevated course maintenance schedules. You just have to learn how to use the tee time system.

Interesting point! I have read in other rants....errrr....posts, that there are 95 golf holes per person in The Villages. I wonder if anyone has taken the time and or effort to see if this ratio holds for the number of homes south of 466 vs the number homes north? If one really had lots of time the ratio could be broken down even further. North of 466, between 466 and 466A, and south of 466A. Any statisticians out there is this vast digital wasteland willing to take this on???

have you noticed the rain most of the summer. it has closed several courses. others are closed for work. there are more full time people. put it all together and it gets harder to get a preferred tee time.

I put in for 7 to 9 am for three groups and never have a problem. A group of 8 on Wednesday and two groups of 12 on Monday and Friday. I also pick out 12 different courses.
