How It Works
Frequently asked questions about Twin Cities Tee Times.
What is Twin Cities Tee Times?
A one-stop view of available tee times across public golf courses in the Twin Cities metro. We automatically check each course’s booking system so you don’t have to visit every site individually.
How fresh is the data?
Tee times are checked automatically on a schedule. Dates closer to today are checked more frequently:
| What’s checked | How often |
|---|---|
| Today & tomorrow | Every 5–15 min (5am–8pm CT), hourly overnight |
| 2–7 days out | Every 30 min, hourly overnight |
| 8–14 days out | Every hour (for courses that publish this far out) |
You can always hit the Refresh button with your dates selected to get the latest info immediately.
What does “stale” mean?
Tee times that haven’t been updated in a while are marked as stale. The data might still be accurate, but you should refresh or check the course’s booking site directly to be sure.
Can I book through this app?
No — the Bookbuttons link directly to each course’s booking site. We show you what’s available, and you book where you normally would.
What do Favorites do?
Mark courses as favorites and the home page will filter to show just those courses’ tee times. You can toggle between your favorites and all courses at any time.
How do I share my favorites?
On the home page, click Favorites to open the dropdown, then click Share favorites. This copies a link to your clipboard that you can send to anyone. When they open it, they’ll be prompted to add your courses to their own favorites.
Do I need to sign in?
Signing in is never required. Without an account, your favorites are saved in your browser. If you sign in with Google, your favorites sync across devices so you can check tee times on your phone and computer with the same list.
What data do you collect?
Without signing in, we store nothing about you — your favorites live only in your browser’s local storage.
When you sign in with Google, we store your name and email address along with your favorites and booking clicks. We don’t share this data with anyone.
How does location filtering work?
You can filter courses by distance from your location. Two options are available: using your device’s GPS, or entering a zip code.
GPS:Your precise coordinates are used only in your browser to calculate distances. They are never sent to our servers or stored anywhere — not even in your browser’s local storage.
Zip code:If you enter a zip code, it’s saved in your browser so you don’t have to re-enter it. Distance is calculated entirely in your browser using the zip code’s approximate center point.
How do I delete my account?
Go to any page, click your name in the top-right corner, and select Delete account. This permanently removes all your data from our servers — your profile, synced favorites, and booking click history. Your local favorites are not affected and will still be available in your browser.
