Google shows popular tee times for certain golf courses

[nevets88]

When did this start? I wonder how it gets this info. Has to be in conjunction with the club. It doesn't do this for all courses though.

Where do you see that?

Just keep looking up golf courses from the Google search page. Try Wyncote GC.

This is a new thing that is being rolled out.  The data is being collected from smart phones.  Check this article:

Interesting concept. A couple of my local courses are already in the system but it doesn't tell me much that I didn't know already. Very early or very late tee times are always the least troublesome. I'll have to look around and see if I can find some courses with stranger patterns.

I'm not sure how this would be more helpful. I can already go to the courses website and see how busy they are for the actual day I am playing rather than just the average day. Also, busy at a course that has 12 minutes between tee times would probably be better than a course that was only slightly busy but has 8 minutes between tee times. I would think most courses would have a very similar graph.
