Teeoff.com is down

[mozes21]

Seems like Teeoff.com is down as well as numerous course booking systems. 

Seems bizarre to have "Scheduled Maintenance" on a Thursday leading into the weekend...

Golfnow has become worthless. Don't think teeoff is anything

Tee off has been down since 10:30 PM EST Wednesday 4/26/17.

Now at 11:45PM EST the phone is not working...Fast busy = not in service.

I have tried to book on Golf Now and Golf 18 Network...No Tee Times Available.

Still out at 7:50 am ET.

 

This is beyond ridiculous. 

 

Apparently all of my local courses use this software and no one is taking tee times...

They must all use the same reservation management server or something? Kind of like how Travelocity, Priceline, KAYAK, etc all do hotels and airfare and stuff?

Yea this last course finally gave me some details. 

 

Apparently it's a nationwide outage of EZLinks.   So any course/booking system that uses EZlinks will be down...

Yep my course yesterday had a total outage and reverted to hand for tee times. 

They couldn't tell me when I could walk on because the system was down! They had no print out of who was scheduled to arrive!!! They said that people would just show up and they'd take their word for it if they had a tee time. And they'd slide me in when they could. 

I believe they use EZLinks but not positive.  They use an interface that is very common with other courses and tee services.

I got thru on my iPhone 7. I booked 3 tee times this morning.

20% off code for TeeOff...Golflife

P.S.  I booked thru the TeeOff app.

I work in IT.  I am guessing they upgraded their software or hardware and things did not go well.  The probably tried to back out to the old system, but that did not go well either.  (I am speaking from experience)  Good luck to them.  The whole world is operating in the cloud these days, and that situation is very fragile.

This phrase always makes my butt pucker.

I bet the Russians hacked it!
