Seeking Strategies for Tee Times at Bethpage Black

I’m planning a golf outing at the infamous Bethpage Black and I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with the process of securing tee times. I’ve heard this course is both challenging and popular, making it tough to book a round.

Any Strategies?

I’d love to hear from others who have successfully nabbed a tee time. What strategies worked for you? Were there specific times of the day or days of the week that yielded better results?

Resident Pricing

Another thing I’d like to understand better is the resident pricing details. How exactly does that work? Is it worth looking into if I can get some local friends to join?

Online Resources

Are there particular websites or apps that are more reliable for booking? I’ve seen a few options, but I’m not sure which ones are worth using.

Personal Experiences

If you’ve played at Bethpage Black before, I’d appreciate any personal experiences or tips you might have. Maybe advice on managing expectations or insight into the course would be helpful.

Final Thoughts

Securing a tee time can feel like a game in itself! Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Looking forward to your responses!

Booking tee times at Bethpage Black can be tricky. I’d suggest aiming for weekdays in the early morning or late afternoon during the off-peak season (late fall to early spring). This tends to reduce competition and sometimes even the fees!

That’s a great tip! I’ve always found that September is a sweet spot too, just after summer is over but still warm.

I agree! November is surprisingly good as well, especially mid-week. Hardly anyone is out there, and you can really enjoy the course with less crowd.

September has been good for me, but I think it really depends on the weather. Sometimes you get a nasty rainy day!

If you’re flexible, try waiting until a few days before you want to play. People cancel, and you can snag a last-minute tee time at a better price! Just keep your phone handy for quick bookings.

I totally agree! That’s how I got my last tee time. It felt like winning the lottery!

Peak season can be a nightmare! If you can, avoid weekends especially. The prices skyrocket and the wait time is just painful.

So true! But I like the buzz of weekend play. It gives a different vibe, even if it’s crowded. Just pack your patience!

Anyone else find that Mondays are often overlooked? People are recovering from the weekend, so you’ll typically find better availability and rates.

11

Great point! I guess people prefer to get back to work. More tee times for us!

Honestly, booking during the winter is not that bad either. The course can be beautiful and serene, just make sure to dress warm!

13

Winter golfing? Sounds like a snowball’s chance in hell, but I might consider it if the hot cocoa is included!

Booking a tee time at Bethpage Black can be tricky, but one of the best strategies is to check their online booking system frequently. Reservations can open up unexpectedly, so being diligent pays off.

15

Absolutely! Joining a membership program can also give you an edge on booking times. Just make sure to read the fine print on any fees.

16

Don’t forget about the early bird approach! Call them right when they open or use the online system at peak times. That way, you’re ahead of the crowd!

I’ve had success using the app for tee times. It’s great because you can get updates on available slots instantly, plus it’s user-friendly!

I didn’t realize they had an app! That could really streamline the booking process. How did you find it?

Another great tip is to build relationships with the staff. If you’re a regular, they might inform you when new slots open up. It’s all about networking!
