A lot of people are golf aficionados, but few golfers want to spend time on the phone getting their desired golf tee times – which of course is when they will start their game. Fortunately, virtually all major private and public golf courses now make it easy to book online tee times over the World Wide Web. In addition to available golf tee times, you'll also be able to learn about the course (if you've never played there), and often may find valuable discounts that are available only to those who book tee times online.

The Main Advantages

The best reasons to book golf tee times over the Internet are speed and control. It's faster to book online tee times because you can usually use filters in order to control the information you receive. That way, you won't have to waist time slogging through megabytes of irrelevant material, making it easier to find the course tee times – including discounted golf tee times, whether or not late evening golf course tee times are available, and more.

Where Are You Going To Play?

This is especially useful if you are planning to visit an out-of-town location, are planning to play a few rounds and need information on local course tee times. For example, if you are planning a business trip to the Los Angeles area and don't want the extra expense of taking out a temporary country club membership, you can easily limit your search to public golf courses in the LA area (be warned: there are literally dozens). You can further limit your search for online tee times to areas within a few miles of where you'll be staying.

Of course, you may want additional amenities when you are booking golf tee times on the World Wide Web, or perhaps you are either a seasoned golfer in search of a green that will test your abilities, or a novice who is looking to practice some of your basic golfing skills. If you are among the latter, you'll probably want to book online tee times that are less crowded, and perhaps a time during which an instructor is available.

Consider The Family

If you are going to have family members with you who are not necessarily golfers, you can also find out if the courses you have in mind have other facilities, such as swimming and tennis, when you book your online tee times.

As you can see, there are many good reasons to book your golf tee times online – and the actual tee time is only part of it.
