We are allowing visitors but only after 3pm and they must be members guests only. We can only book one slot at a time but not limits to how many times a week. I played at another club with a friend whom is a member and they can only book 3 times a week maximum there.
Tee time booking and restrictions on how many times a week you can book
- Thread starter patricks148
- Start date
My away club (Woodhall) is allowing me to bring a guest from next week, I think it’s more relevant with country membership, I don’t mind playing with anyone, and I get to meet full members, but I know who I can have a bit of banter with by bringing a guest, which is a big part of enjoying my day on the course, imo.
Interested to see we are now releasing front nine early evening tee times. Ideal for those working but I wonder if anyone will book and early round and come back and play later too.
We're only allowed 9 holes in 2 balls per day ,2 tee start first and tenth at 10 minute intervals . I won't play until its 18 holes ,I've done without for 9 weeks and not really missed it to be honest .

Ah - this will explain why I had difficulty booking a slot for next Saturday. i guess the club sets the limit on the number of rounds allowed . And can the club set their limit for full rounds separate from 9 holes? And how does the week work. Is it a rolling week or is is Mon-Sun or Sun-Sat?
The club can set it up how it wants to run things, my home club is a rolling week, 5 days in advance, so everyday another day become available, but my away club is 7pm on Sunday for the following 7-days, it’s all down to how your club wants to do things.
Even with a large membership, we have tee slots available most days, so we can phone on the day and grab an extra round above our online 3 max allowance.
Hopefully this will allow us to move to 18 soon rather than just 9, which was the initial decision to get as many members back on the course as possible.

We’ve just had 2 sets of 9 open. Initially you could only book a few tee times a week, but after that opening rush they soon changed to being able to play once a day.
As of 1st June we go to 18 holes and again, to help everyone try to get a tee time, you can only book a maximum of 3 rounds a week. This will change as people start to get back into their “normal” routines.
Comps start from the 4th, hoping to get qualifiers going by the end of that month.
All 2 balls only.
Oh aye, you can only book one week in advance. Looking at getting guests and visitors back from mid-late June

We should open on Friday with booking system opening on Wednesday. Members are encouraged to book a maximum of 2 times a week. It will be in interesting to see if people take advantage.
People will. We were limited to 3 tee times a week and people were booking up to 5 and also one or 2 adding guests or just stating with a member with no name.
After a week due to some complaining 7 day members only allowed to book on a Saturday and increased to 4 slots a week for 7 day only.

We can book up to three weeks in advance, and members are doing so, and apparently as many times as we jolly well please. Although if we don't turn up for bookings this will be removed from offenders. I'm booked in for all my games in to June.

They should be firmer and just set the booking software so that members can only book whatever the max is.
All this "are encouraged" is unlikely to work, and is shifting the responsibility.

Ours is also IG. It's set up to only allow a maximum of 3 tee bookings in a 7 day rolling period. The bookings open at 9am, and are fully booked within 3 minutes.
WE are 2 ball at 10 minute intervals 18 hole rounds off the first, but you can do 9 off the 10th in the window before the first groups get to the 10th. After 18:30 it's 9 holes only off the first.
I don't know anyone at my club who can't wait for the normality of no tee times and 4 balls again.

Apparently some love the fact you can walk to the 1st tee to potentially find 20 fellow members queuing up for a game

Or, you can turn up when it suits, spend a bit of casual time practicing and jump on the tee for a few holes when it's quiet.
