Preferred Tee Times.

[domo11]

What are people's ideal tee off times and why?

[tj24]

I love playing toward the evening, I will start about 3 and finish around dark, for me I like to play at that time because I am fully focused and do not have any morning grogginess. Plus I don't have to worry about the greens changing speed on me to much.

[MaestroRequiem]

I play early morning due to schedule but prefer to play in the afternoon right before the sun starts to head down.

[billh17]

i still play in the morning.....if I cant get off by 7:30,then i'll wait until around 11....less crowded.......I also love the twilight in the summer.

Can usually get off after the evening leagues,and have a course pretty much empty. My normal 4some will play usually 3 times a week.

[Flames20]

The first one of the day. That way I can play at my own speed and not have to wait on anyone. My usual foursome will all walk and be done in 3:15. Drives me crazy to get the 2nd tee time and wait for the group ahead of me take 3:45 and I'm waiting all round.

[Kaysquare]

My regular foursome (or fivesome) likes to play around 10:00 most all the time. It's good for me because I detest having to "rush" around in the morning to make an 8:00 or earlier tee time. I like to get up at my regular time (about 7:15'ish), have a nice leisurely breakfast, check my email, walk the dog, then have time to do a few necessary chores around the house before golf. I don't like having to come home after golf & have household chores to do. Yes, I am spoiled, but I worked full-time from the time I was 20 yrs old till I retired to be able to do this, & I'm enjoying every minute of it. Of course, I haven't been able to play golf since before Christmas, thanks to ElNino & a great snow season here in the NM mountains. It's getting very close to "desperation" right now though, and we girls are going to have to go someplace where there's no snow to play golf VERY soon!!! If we don't get to hit something with a stick real soon, our husbands will be our next targets. :cheesy:

[2bGood]

None for me. It depends on the type of round (tournament or for fun) day of the week etc etc

[One_Putt_Blunder]

Prefer 1030 to 1130 in winter early in summer

[Santiago Golf]

Twilight. I love teeing off at 8pm after closing the shop and playing til sunset

[golfgirlrobin]

As early as possible. Avatar pup is up at 4:45 a.m. After that it's just waiting for enough light to tee off.

[Springsteennut]

I like playing in the morning. Around 8/9 AM.

[fore_life]

Sunrise 1st off in summer, around 830 in winter here in AZ. I don't like to wait around all day to play golf, and don't like long rounds.

[MJisGOAT]

I prefer the twilight hours because I've grown accustom to playing by myself and that is when most courses are the least busy.

[bk52]

Early afternoon. Work a half day, then play and make the turn before the leagues start. While I do play "1st one off" at times, the dew makes everything wet and I don't like having to interrupt the course maintenance workers when I inevitably play through them.

[Warrick]

We are normally first off every saturday and sunday at our muni.

 

Depending on the time of year, that can range from 6:20am to around 10am.

 

I am almost always home by 11am, with the rest of the day open. I also do not like playing behind people unless I have to.

 

We usually play 18 in about 3.25 with 3 of us

[bperna]

During the summer teeing off at 4:30pm on a Sunday is my absolute favorite. Otherwise I prefer as early as possible so I'm done before noon and still have the rest of the day.

[Ruddy]

Late morning around 10-11. I have leisurely coffee first and the morning golf crowd is halfway around. Workers haven't broken for lunch. I finish early afternoon before the after-work crowd shows.

[chohm1216]

8:00-8:30 and eat lunch after

[Other Barry]

I would prefer around 10 but, I NEED to get out first. I can't stand waiting behind a group while they hack everything in sight. I love golf, just don't want to be out there for 6 hours. It makes me feel rushed. So it's normally a 7:00-7:10 tee time for me

[SurfDuffer]

I prefer playing without a t-time. Thankfully most of the year at my home club I can walk to the first tee and just go in the afternoon. If I had to choose a time, I'd say 2:00.

[Tex1986]

Early Afternoon ideally. But I will compromise and go with a time to ensure I finish the round within 4 Hours.

[Yanki01]

fall/winter - 7:30-8am

spring/summer - 9:30-10am. It will be hot as sh*t but don't like playing the first few holes with morning dew on the ground.

[BobbyDPlaysGolf]

I prefer to play early and then practice for a few hours after the round if I have the time

[chinaski]

I like to be the first group out in the summer to beat the crowd, but that usually doesn't allow for any time to warm up; sometimes even on the putting green. I tend to play better in the afternoon for that reason. Even if I don't warm up I feel loose. When I play by myself it is usually before work and practice usually after work.

[thepriest]

The best tee time is the one that allows you to turn off your phone and enjoy your round. Whatever time that is, sign me up.

[Divot License]

I like to play early in the morning as this is when the central core of members of our club go out so it's the most social and there's usually a little scramble or something going on.

 

However in January my lovely wife started to play the game so the past couple of months I've been teaching me her to play. This has meant later tee times during the quiet hours of around 11 or later. I've grown to enjoy to quietness of these rounds and the time we spend together but a part of me is looking forward to getting back to some "competitive" golf.

[HoosierHacker89]

I like evening golf

[SadTrombone]

First or last off. I don't really care for being in the middle somewhere. 6am is fine. 6pm is fine.

[Dan42nepa]

I played at 7:35 yesterday. Unfortunately it was 35 degrees at that time.. Later in the day it warmed up to 70. Today i started at 9:15 which is perfect for me.

[birdman72]

I prefer mid morning. Yesterday I teed off at 11:00 and it was perfect. Today I went off at 7:00 and had to deal with a lot of maintenance but I did get done by 9:30.
