Notes on booking the tee time you actually want.
Learn more about what it takes to get that ideal tee time scheduled.
How to Book a Resident Tee Time When the City Card Opens First
The grey public sheet may be a resident clock you are not on. Some shops open an hour earlier for residents. Some charge visitors a booking fee. Some sell the resident rate only at check-in. Read that city's card page, then book the window that applies to you.
How to Book a Holiday Weekend Tee Time When City Hall Is Closed
City Hall closed does not mean the tee sheet is closed. Some shops stay open on a holiday Monday. Some charge weekend rates. Some weekday passes do not work. Read that city's holiday page, then book.
How to Book a Tee Time When Your Course Is Closed for Aeration
Aeration week is not a sold-out sheet. Some shops close. Some stay open on punched greens. Some leave the sister 18 open. Read that calendar, then book the open course.
How to Book a 1-Some Tee Time When the Foursome Sheet Looks Full
Some shops let a single reserve and get paired. Others refuse the 1-some book and put you on a singles list. Read that shop's pairing rule, then call or stand by.
How to Get a Tee Time When Rain Is in the Forecast
A rain icon is not a closed course. Read that shop's weather page, then check the live book. Times come back when golfers cancel, staff close, or frost dumps the early list.
How to Book a Twilight Tee Time When Morning Is Gone
Twilight is not one clock time. Each shop sets its own start by season. Read that shop's board, then book the late window when the morning sheet is already grey.
Why the Public Tee Sheet Looks Empty When Members Still Have Times
The empty public page may be a different book. Log in as a registered player or a member, or ask a member to add you as a guest. A logged-out browse may not be the sheet the shop uses.
How to Book a Tee Time When the 7-Day or 14-Day Public Book Opens
The empty Saturday you keep refreshing is often not released yet. Write down the shop's 7-day or 14-day window, log in before that minute, and keep a second course whose book opens later.
How to Get a Last-Minute Saturday Tee Time When the Sheet Looks Full
Wednesday night, Saturday is grey. That sheet is leftovers. The times you still want come back as cancellations, shop holds, and twilight — if you stop refreshing and call.
