Using a tee time app on the smart phone allows golfers to make reservations at a variety of courses. These apps offer the capability to search thousands of golf courses, schedule reservations on the phone, and get access to significant discounts on rates. This is a nice convenience for scheduling a round of golf without using a computer or calling the course.

Most apps have an easy to use interface which is readable from the cell phone screen. To start, users search for specific golf courses by name or region. Some apps use location services on the cell phone to determine courses located nearby. Once a course is selected, the app often provides useful information, such as address, map to location, and course description.

By entering date ranges, you can see tee times for selected courses. If there are any specific requirements for the reservation, these are displayed as well. The app shows everything included in the rate, such as number of holes, additional taxes, or indication if golf cart rental is part of the fee. Other features are displayed to show things like GPS available in the carts, rental clubs offered at the clubhouse, or if the course is cart path only on a certain day.

Discounted rates and fees are an appealing feature. Many apps have an agreement with golf courses where they can provide significant discounts. These are usually not available when calling the clubhouse on your own. Senior and twilight rates are highlighted. The payment process varies from one deal to another. Some must be paid ahead of time and others can be settled when you arrive.

After selecting a final reservation, you make your selection and enter how many players will be part of your group. The application takes you through the reservation process to get everything confirmed. All information about the transaction is sent back to the golf course through the app. Anything required at time of purchase will be noted. The app also sends you an email confirmation.

Another feature is being able to send other players in your group a confirmation message via email. This is very easy if your playing companions are listed in your phone contacts. The application sends all details about the reservation to the other players. This makes sure everyone is notified quickly and accurately.

Most apps are integrated with the map features of your cell phone. This allows you to see area golf courses in a map view when you are doing initial searches. It also allows you to link to maps once you have scheduled your reservation. This gives you basic map features related to the course, such as driving directions.

One of the best features of any tee time app is the powerful search capability. You can see times and rates side by side which makes for easy comparison. If you are not able to find a desired timeframe or rate at first, it is very simple to enter new search criteria and display other options. Discounted rates are easy to identify especially as rates change throughout the day for twilight discounts. Golfers will find many exciting features for quickly and easily scheduling golf outings.
