My parents bought me a little golf teetime gift card for Christmas. My wife reminded me of this last night, so I figured I'd use it for a round of golf. Well, I tried to the toll free number - disconnected. I tried their website, it's down. I used google, there were two searches that came back to the page - both came back to information security, which for me, spells scam.

I could be 100% wrong, curious if anybody has used them or has any info.

Thanks,

Jason

I got one and just called the last week and booked a tee time. its not a scam dont worry. ill try and find the number i used to call them. the only thing is if your booking for a group and just want to use your card for you, you still have to pay for the whole group up front.

For me, that makes it a scam......can I just book a time for me, or do I have to book the standard party of 4 - is so, my parents are smart people, likely it was not disclosed I would have to pay for 3 others because they would not buy something like that for themselves, much less for a gift.....oh well, it was a nice gesture......if the phone gets reconnected or the site starts to work, I'll see about a refund....

Thanks for your input and post, very helpful....

Six years ago, my wife purchased me a similar gift certificate from a different company. Nine months after getting the gift, I tried to use the certificate for the first time. I called the phone number and the telephone answerer stated the company was out of business and was no longer honoring the tee times. He also stated that a cash refund was not possible. My wife and I have since avoided third party tee time gift certificates.

I used this site last year b/c my company was giving out $75 gift cards from them. Didn't know they were having trouble though....honestly they're more of a concierge type service.

Too funny.

The office was quiet until I came back to read up on this thread. Unfortunately, I wasn't invited to make an appearance in that movie.....

Kinda OT but I figured I'd try to spread the word.

Not to bag on you or your family, BP, but gift cards are a poor gift. Have you noticed the explosion of the gift cards available? They have entire racks full of every type of card. Wonder why? Because it's a huge money maker for the corps when people don't spend the full amount or sometimes, they forget altogether they were given a gift. Your story is a perfect example, your wife had to remind you you had the card.

I won't bore you all with the particulars. If you're interested just google something like "gift card waste of money" or something like that.

Whoever came up with the saying, "A bad day of golf is better than a good day at work", is a moron.

I love getting and recieving gift cards.

Many actual gifts are given that are not used, or not used to their full value. If someone gave me a putter, and I like the one I currently have, didn't they just waste their money too? Lame arguement.

Its also lame of you to rip on peoples choice of gift. I think he got a great gift from his wife.

Greetings! Hate for my first post to be bad news, but it does appear that these gift cards are no longer valid. I've gone to the website, and the "backdoor ninja" way and tee times cannot be booked online.

When you call the 888 number, you get a recording that says they're out of business, but to leave your name and number and someone will call and try to get this resolved. I called 24 hours ago and left my name/number and haven't heard a peep.

Oh well...it's the thought that counts I guess. Just pissed that my wife is out $50.

Hi I just tried to use the website to make a tee time for me. It's saying not available at this time and the number listed says out of business. Thats messed up cause I saw these things all over the place so am betting that there is still a lot of these out there that are unused:(

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
