Honestly, I think tee time reservations can get overly complicated sometimes. Can’t we just show up with our clubs and play? Anyone else feel this way?

Tee time is essentially your reserved spot to start your round of golf. Punctuality is key—arriving on time helps keep the flow of play smooth for everyone.
Absolutely, and coordinating with your group ahead of time can really make a difference! It’s just good etiquette to communicate any delays if they occur.
It’s interesting how a delay impacts not just your group but also others on the course. When one group is late, it can create a domino effect.

Exactly! And let’s not forget that some courses may have a policy for late arrivals. Understanding this can help avoid frustration.
I’ve found that a five-minute buffer before your tee time goes a long way. It also gives you a moment to calm those pre-game nerves!
You make a good point, heather83. Plus, it allows time for any last-minute equipment checks or golf swings to warm up!
What do you all think is the best way to handle it if your group is running late? I hate to feel rushed, but I don’t want to anger others waiting behind us.
A friendly approach goes a long way! Inform the starter or marshals if you foresee a delay and they might help manage the flow.
I sometimes joke that ‘tee time’ should just mean a time to tee off, regardless of other factors! But in reality, we all need to be respectful. Humor helps ease the tension when things go wrong.
