All I have to do is ask Google for the phone number for the course I want, and I'm connected.  No hassle with trying to type on the phone, something I only do when  I have no other choice.  I'm not a texting addict - it's easier to just call the course.  If I'm at home I go directly the course website and pick the time I want, not the block of times from a discounter.  For me, that's more important than the discount.  Then too, I get my discounts from my Avid Golfer Passport as long as I'm playing here in Colorado.

The courses I play recently have their own web interface. Municipal course- county run.

I'll use GolfNow from time to time, if the price is ridiculously good. Usually on a whim.

FWIW, I generally dislike incentives like miles or gift cards. My trash company had something like that for a while. It was complex to figure out how much I was earning toward rewards, and after a couple years, it seemed like I was partially on my way to getting $5 off on an order of $50 or more at Applebee's. Woohoo.   The amount of business one would need to do to get a reward that is significant is usually way more than I'm likely to do, so I just end up thinking what a lot of overhead to maintain such a system. I'd prefer the company just stay lean and mean, and focus on the core business at hand (not razzle dazzle me with frills like reward points).

Thank you so much for the feedback, it is really appreciated. I think we can make it clearer on the website as to how much you will earn.

We are adding gift cards as a reward next week. Just to give you an idea of the value: the minimum reward is a $5 gift card and on some tee times you can earn up to a $100 gift card on 1 foursome.

I hope you play well this weekend and enjoy the US Open!

There are not a lot of courses where I live, but there are some. The on line tee times apps send me "deals" that turn out never to apply to where I live. That's annoying enough to uninstall the app right there/

I don't like having to pay in advance, even for a solo round. I'm kind of a cash transaction type of guy.  But I use GolfNow for cheap deals and am forced to use a credit card when I do.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      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.

      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.
