I’m really looking to play at Trump Ferry Point Golf Links and I want to get a good handle on how to book tee times there.
A few specific questions I have:
- What’s the best way to book a tee time? Is it easier to do it online or over the phone?
- Are there certain times that are better for booking to avoid crowds?
- How’s the overall experience on the course?
- Any tips on what to expect in terms of course conditions and facilities?
I’ve heard mixed reviews online, so any firsthand accounts or advice would be super helpful! Thanks in advance for your input!
Booking tee times at Trump Ferry Point can be tricky due to their popularity. I suggest checking their official website early in the morning for availability. You can also call ahead for real-time updates.

Absolutely! I’ve found that weekdays are less busy, especially in the morning. Booking a week or two in advance gives you the best chance.
Yeah, I’ve had success by booking in advance too. Keep an eye on their peak hours; weekends are insane! If possible, aim for tee times around 10 AM on weekdays.

I second that! I also recommend checking their cancellation policies, just in case your plans change.
Great point, rayrobert! I once had to cancel last minute and learned the hard way. Booking online generally has a better cancellation policy than calling in, so consider that.
Do they offer any discounts for booking a group? Might be worth it if you’re going with friends. Also, what’s their policy on rainchecks?

Sometimes they have group rates, Gary! Just check their website for details. About rainchecks, I think it depends on the manager on duty, so it’s a bit hit or miss.

Has anyone tried using third-party apps for booking? I’ve heard mixed reviews, but sometimes they have good deals! Would love to hear experiences.
I agree with patricia37 about rainchecks. As for third-party apps, I’ve used one successfully, but always confirm your tee time with Trump directly.
Humorously, I once booked through an app and showed up at the wrong time! So lessons learned: double-check everything, including times and dates!

Wish I could book at the crack of dawn every day! Anyone noticed if they ever run promotions during slower months? That could help us save a buck or two.

I think around November they sometimes have specials, panderson. It’s a great way to get more value for your money during off-peak times!
Finally, it’s always better to have a plan B. If they’re booked, are there nearby courses to consider? It’s good to have options.
I’ve played Trump Ferry Point a few times, and it’s essential to book your tee times in advance, especially on weekends. The course gets busy, but early morning slots are usually the best. The views are stunning too!

Absolutely! I love the backdrop of the NYC skyline. Also, for new players, the 7th hole can be tricky with the water hazard, so plan your shots carefully.

Thanks for the tip about the 7th hole, beckdana! I’ve noticed that the wind can also play a significant role in your game there. Have you experienced that?

Yes, the wind can be a challenge! It’s best to choose clubs that can cut through it. Also, keep an eye on the layout; some holes require precise placement off the tees.
I’ve had mixed experiences with booking! Sometimes it’s easy online, but I’ve also called in and had better luck securing a spot. Has anyone else faced issues while trying to book?
I totally get that! I once waited on hold for over 30 minutes! Maybe get a group together to book at once for better chances?
