What the finder shows
Every search returns the course's live coverage status: watch available means you can save a watch now, request coverage means you can ask and be notified when watching goes live. Exact auto-book or alerts-only capability is confirmed after sign-in, because it depends on the course's own system.
Course pages behind the finder carry the verified details that decide the plan: green fees, pars and yardages, release rules, and residency pricing where it exists.
From found to watched
A watch is per course and per window, and you can run several at once. Watching two nearby courses for the same weekend window roughly doubles your odds without doubling your effort.
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.
