What is a tee time in golf?

Scheduled appointment for starting a round of golf, typically reserved in advance through the golf course pro shop or online booking system.

Definition

A scheduled appointment for starting a round of golf, typically reserved in advance through the golf course pro shop or online booking system. Tee times help courses manage player flow, pace of play, and course capacity throughout the day. Peak tee times (weekend mornings, favorable weather) are often more expensive and harder to secure, while off-peak times may offer reduced rates. Many courses have specific policies regarding tee time cancellations, no-shows, and group size requirements. Proper tee time etiquette includes arriving early, being prepared to play, and maintaining appropriate pace of play.
