Finding the Best Tee Times at Pine Needles

If you’re planning a trip to Pine Needles Lodge and Golf Club, you’re probably excited to hit the course! Finding the right tee times can significantly impact your experience, so I wanted to reach out to the community for some tips and insights.

What to Consider When Booking

  1. Time of Year: The best times to play typically vary based on season. Early spring and fall can be ideal but tend to get busy, so book in advance.
  2. Weekdays vs. Weekends: If your schedule allows, consider playing on weekdays. You’ll often find that the course is less crowded, making for a more relaxed and enjoyable round of golf.
  3. Availability: It’s wise to check availability as soon as you can. Tee times can fill quickly, especially during peak season. Have you found any easy ways to check current availability?

Booking during weekdays is also a great tip! The weekends can get quite crowded, and I’ve had to cancel on a few occasions due to weather. Their cancellation policy is quite reasonable.

From my experience, Monday mornings are the best. It’s usually wide open and the golf staff is super accommodating!

Interesting! I usually try to book last minute, but I guess that can be hit or miss. Anyone ever had issues with cancellations?

I can chime in! Cancellations have been easy for me. As long as you call 24 hours in advance, they usually don’t charge a fee.

Peak season can be tricky! I’d suggest booking at either dawn or later in the afternoon. Less competition for a good spot.

Thanks for the advice! Anyone know if they offer discounts for groups? I’d love to take some friends but want to save a bit on fees.

Yes! If you book for a group of four or more, they typically provide a discount. It’s a great way to enjoy the course without breaking the bank.

All this talk makes me want to head out to Pine Needles right now! It’s such a fun course! Anyone else feel the same?

Totally agree! I’ve even made a few great memories there with my buddies! Always a good vibe on the course.

What about peak times? I once went and had to wait ages for a tee time. Is there a busy day I should avoid?

Weekends during breakfast hours are notorious for lines. Best to dodge those times for sure!

Another fun fact: If you book through their website, you often get exclusive deals not available on other platforms. So definitely check that out before booking!

I just wish they’d extend their cancellation window! I once had to cancel last minute due to a family emergency, and it was a hassle.

It can be tough, but most golf courses are like that. I guess we should just plan better next time! But I feel for you. Hope all is well now!
