Where golf tee times get booked
| Channel | When it applies |
|---|---|
| The course's online tee sheet | Most public courses; sheets typically open three to fourteen days out |
| Phone | Courses and cases without an open sheet: Pebble Beach non-guests, for example, get a one-day phone window |
| Walk-on | Quiet afternoons only; you are gambling on a gap the starter can find |
| A watch | Sold-out windows anywhere covered: the alert fires the moment a matching time opens, and auto-booking finishes it where supported |
Match the channel to the course
The course page tells you which channel applies before you commit a morning to the wrong one; resort access rules and municipal release clocks change the answer course by course.
Try the workflow on one real watch
The clearest test is still one real course, one real time window, and the player count you need. That setup shows whether the workflow stays readable once it leaves the page.
