Unbelievable 😤

Everyone thought someone else booked it. You find out with the clubs already in the trunk. Next open time: 2:40.

Set it once

Tell us once. It runs every week.

Your games, your course rotation and your time preferences are saved. No re-entering anything.

Your regular games

Every Saturday, every Wednesday after work, or both. We book each one the minute its sheet opens.

Your course rotation

Rank your courses. We try your favorite first, then the next, so you're not shut out when one fills up.

Questions

Good questions.

Do I need to download anything?

No. Everything happens over text. If you'd like us to book for you, you'll need a free account on your course's booking site with a card saved. Most golfers already have one.

Which courses work?

Most public courses that take tee times online. A few only take bookings on their own site, so for those we text you a link the minute tee times open. Text us your course and we'll tell you which. Adding a new course usually takes about a day.

Will you ever book without asking?

Never without your go-ahead. Reply BOOK once and we'll book your regular game every week, with a heads-up the night before. Reply SKIP to sit any week out. Or approve each game one at a time.

What if the time I want is gone?

We'll text you the closest time we can find. Reply BOOK to take it, or WAIT and we'll keep watching for an opening.

Do my friends have to sign up?

No. They get one text asking them to reply IN. After that they just reply IN or OUT for each tee time. It's free for them.

What about the off-season?

The Season Pass stops on its own October 31. Monthly plans can reply PAUSE, with no charge while paused. We'll text you April 1 to RETEE.

How do I cancel?

Text STOP any time. That stops the texts and cancels your plan, so you won't be charged again.

Is my information safe?

We use your number and your group's numbers only to book and confirm tee times. We never sell them. If you let us book for you, your course login is encrypted and used only for that. We never see or store your credit card. It stays with your course's booking site.
