GolfNow / Websites Missing Tee Times

[Grumpter]

Anyone else notice that GolfNow has tee times no longer available at their local courses? I used to compare a courses website with GolfNow and usually ended up at the courses website for the same tee time. Now I am noticing that some tee times available on GolfNow are not available on the courses website. I asked the course about it earlier this week and they were surprised. They said the original signups had cancelled and it should have refreshed to be available but I had checked more than a few hours apart and the times never became available. I was stuck and unfortunately had to book through GolfNow at the increased price (booking fee charge).

 

Today I was looking for tomorrow trying to find a 2-some to add on to as a single and again see the same thing. I wonder if this is a problem is isolated to just this courses site or if others are seeing the same thing for local courses?

So yesterday I go direct to the courses website and book a 2-some for early Saturday with the hopes that a single or another twosome will fill out our group. This morning when I check the courses website the tee time is no longer there. Great, someone has filled out our group..... nope, it is showing as open on GolfNow but is completely gone from the courses website. I also notice the same thing with an earlier tee time. Something funky is going on so I sent an email to GolfNow and directly to the course.

So, if you are a single or two-some you may find more times available on GolfNow than directly at the courses site. Personally I hate having to pay the GolfNow processing fee, unless I am getting a better deal there, but sometimes beggars can't be choosers.

Sounds like a software glitch, which will be ironed out if people call it to their attention. We're just coming out of Winter here, so it's been a while since I've used GolfNow, but I used it enough in years past that I didn't have to pay the processing fee. I know there have been changes, but don't now exactly what they are yet.
