Unfortunately, GolfNow's rewards program SUCKS this year!  I played a ton of very high-end free golf last year.  No such thing this year.  Ah well, I still love the convenience.

Sorry. You lost the right to complain for at least a few years. :-D

I have a somewhat flexible schedule so I find myself with an open afternoon or early evening. GolfNow works well to find what is available if I want to try out a new course or am just tired of playing my home course. It's great for a single and has also worked well for a few groups. More information the better, plus it never hurts to save a little money.

They do suck this year. I don't care about a Cleveland discount coupon, the big draw for me was free hot deal rounds, which they don't offer nearly as much anymore.

my get up and go musta got up and went..

Just booked my first tee time using Golf Now for later today. Got a great deal, hopefully it goes well.

Went pretty well. Paid $18 (plus taxes and fees, so a little over $21 all told) for 18 holes with a cart thanks to a hot deal. Tee time was for 12:14, but it was pretty wide open, so they let me out close to 11:30. Booking through the course would have cost $46 for walking, $59 for a cart, so I paid about 30% of the normal price. It looks like for most tee times at that course (the non-hot deals), you're basically getting a free cart for using GolfNow.

[/quote] I briefly glanced at the rewards page. I doubt I'll book enough rounds to get much of anything, but that's not a big deal if I'm saving money anyway. [quote name="David in FL" url="/t/46514/anyone-use-discount-tee-time-sites-like-golfnow-com/30_30#post_979675"]Could mean that the course is closed for maintenance, or even that for some day.....maybe a tournament or something else unusual, they didn't provide any times to GolfNow. Doesn't happen often, but I've seen it on rare occasion down here too.[/quote] I don't think so, just because picking a different day gives me the same thing. My guess is that they're just not in GolfNow's system anymore but they haven't taken the page down.

I've also seen a few courses that were on golfnow last year have switched over to golfhub.  Less convenient as now there are two sites I need to check to find the best deals.  Ah well, the hardships of life.

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
