Meanwhile, the merger of GolfNow and TeeOff – the two biggest third-party booking engines in the game – gives NBC Sports Group control of a vast majority of the online tee time inventory. Jay Karen, the CEO of the National Golf Course Owners Association, suggests some estimates put it over 90% of the market share.

You can modify or cancel your tee time up to one hour prior to the time of play, and you will be fully refunded for any prepaid amounts in the form of a GolfNow credit.

Only one cancellation or modification per course, per reservation, per play date is permitted; this includes a reduction in the number of golfers in a tee time reservation. If the tee time reservation is within one hour of time of play and the golf course is closed, please contact a GolfNow representative.

Select the number of players you wish to remove from your reservation and select "Weather" for the reason of cancellation, then click “Submit Cancellation.” If you are eligible for a refund, please allow 5-7 business days for processing. Hot Deals reservations are non-refundable once your round has begun.

Tee Time Protection lets you cancel your DEAL Times tee time up to one (1) hour before the time of play. All refunded amounts will be available as credit on your TeeOff account and valid for up to six months.

In the event that you need to change or cancel your tee time, please honor the course's cancellation policy by calling us at 855.383. 3633. Can I change or cancel a DEAL Time? DEAL Times can be cancelled but are non-refundable unless the golf course is closed on the day of play.

However, they are refundable only if: 1) cancelled 72+ hours in advance of the tee time; 2) the golf course is closed on the day of play; 3) Tee Time Protection was purchased on a DEAL Time or 4) you are a GolfPass+ member with at least one of your ten (10) free Tee Time Protection credits available to use.

By booking tee times late in the day (usually tee-off sometime after 2:00 p.m.) you will obtain the cheapest tee time deals available. The only caveat is that you may not be able to finish all 18 holes. This is where it's useful to keep your pace of play in mind.

Can You Use a Tee on Every Shot? No. Sadly, once you've used the device for the initial swing of that hole, you can't use it again. The only exception would be if you received a penalty and had to return to the tee box or zone to replay your shot.

If the golf course does not allow tee times to be canceled online, you must call the golf course directly. Be sure to check with the course policies on tee time cancellations to assure that all policies are followed correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions Sadly, once you've used the device for the initial swing of that hole, you can't use it again. The only exception would be if you received a penalty and had to return to the tee box or zone to replay your shot. It's worth taking advantage of the tee while you can use it!

You don't have to actually use a tee on the tee. You can chip up the ground to make a makeshift tee, or can just hit the ball off of the grass. Sometime you'll see players settle up to the ball, and as they are doing so the ball will fall off or be knocked off the tee.
