Anyone use discount tee-time sites like GolfNow.com?

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.

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.

I use teeoff.com (formerly ezlinks.com). They seem to have the best deals.

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.

When you're right, you're right! :-)

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.
