1. How do I get a tee time at Memorial Park Golf Course?
Memorial Park Golf Course has an automated telephone and internet system for making tee times. This system provides the following free services:
ability to make tee times any time of the day or night
ability to check for cancellations 24 hours a day
access by phone or computer, no advantage to one or the other
The new system uses an automated lottery process for assigning tee times. The lottery process is convenient: no more speed-dialing, busy signals, and waiting on hold for tee times. The lottery provides all golfers a fair chance of obtaining a tee time at Memorial Park.
Getting a tee time guarantees you access to the course at a specific time. The following are the tee time options:
At least seventy-five percent of the tee times are reserved via an automated lottery draw which closes at 6:00 a.m. every morning. Use the web site or telephone reservation system to make your entry no later than 6:00 a.m. three days before the day you would like to play. Shortly after 6:00 a.m., the automated lottery will assign tee times. Any remaining tee times can be booked for immediate confirmation using the automated system.
Twenty percent of the tee times may be reserved up to two months before the day you would like to play. A reservation fee of $15.00 per person will be charged for this service ('Premium Tee Times').
Five percent of the remaining tee times may be reserved by the Director of Golf at Memorial Park.
Occasionally, a tee time may be obtained by stopping by the course on the day you would like to play. A tee coordinator will take your name and let you know the approximate wait time should a tee time become available. Tee times may become available when a reserved tee time is canceled or when the tee coordinator determines a tee time is available and you can be worked in.
