Book your first tee time.

A tee time is the time your group starts playing—not the time to arrive in the parking lot.

Choose the round

Start with nine holes or a par-3 course if you want a shorter first outing. Check whether you can walk, whether clubs are available to rent, and whether the course has a dress code.

Make the reservation

Use the course website or call the golf shop. Give the date, group size, and whether you want nine or eighteen holes. A single player or pair may be joined with other golfers. Ask about the booking window, payment, and cancellation policy.

Check the full cost

Confirm the green fee, which pays for playing the course. Ask whether carts, rentals, and practice balls cost extra. Discount sites can have separate fees and conditions, so compare the total before buying.

Save the details

Keep the confirmation and plan your arrival. Weather, frost, and maintenance can change the day. Contact the course if you cannot make your time.
