Chelsea allows you to make a request for a tee time 24 hours per day up to 7 days in advance.

However, the earlier you call does not mean a priority on times. Two days prior to the day of play, Chelsea will process all “requests” for play that day and will assign times based on the golfer’s play history. All non- equity members will be assigned a play history which is equal to the median of the play from the prior month. 3. Any remaining times must be issued through the Golf Shop by calling 941-966-1800. 4. To change/correct your name in Chelsea, dial 941-966-1800 and choose option 4 then option 2.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS I called the computer and it said I had a 10:00 o’clock time… why? First, there are 3 sets of tee times available 7:00am to 9:00am and 11:30am to 1:30pm and after 4:00 pm. You may ask for any time, but the computer will book your request as close to that time as possible. Remember, requests are processed into actual tee times 2 days in advance. Why didn’t I get a tee time or close to the tee time I requested? Tee times are issued based on the play history of the individual. The play history is how many times a person has played in the last 30 days. The higher the history, the less likely you will get the time requested. All transfer members begin their stay with the mean average of the previous month for their play history. Can I bring guests if so how many? You can bring max of (7) of guests, guest are point free. Guest Groups are placed after members only groups. How many times can I play in a month? Usually 2 or 3 times per week. Why do I start the round on #10 hole? The computer does the selection of the tee randomly. Why did I get a 7:00am time when I asked for noon? Your play history designates when you are slotted to play. The higher the history, the further away from the time requested. Can I cancel my tee time and not get charged for a play? Only if you cancel 24 hours or more in advance of your assigned tee time. Requests for times can be cancelled up to 2 days in advance of the day requested through the computer system. How many points do I get charged for a guest on my history? Guests are equal to 1 play point per guest round. Weekends are point free. How long do plays and guest plays stay on my history? All plays including guests remain on your history for 30 days from Date of play. 8
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CON’T Why doesn’t my 4-digit member number work? To request a time, your member number plus a 1 or 2 must be en- tered into the computer. (1) at the end Signifies Male, (2) Signifies a Female. If your number still doesn’t work, we have not been able to get your name and number into the computer. Please be patient. We will get the information into the computer as quickly as possible. If I sign up in the Golf Shop for a tee time, does it count against my play history? Yes! (Only Same Day Booking is Point Free) Why can’t I play 9 holes before 4:00pm? We try to maximize the play on the course, and the people who want to play 18 holes get a priority on times. My tee time is in 45 minutes, why can’t I get a cart? Sometimes the member(s) or guest(s) coming off the morning round are a little slow and carts are not available until closer to your time. Please be patient. How can I get a handicap flag? You must show us either a handicap sticker from your automobile, a doctor’s form or a handicap form from the state. Do I get charged for 9-hole play if I am walking? Only transfer members pay a small fee *NEW—How does the lightning system work? When the sirens for lightning go off you will hear: Horn, Siren, Horn, Siren, there is also a strobe that can be seen from the Clubhouse area. You are requested to vacate the course because a lightning strike has been detected within 5 miles. If there are no strikes for 15 minutes, the all clear (Horn Intermittent) will sound and you can resume play. Do renters have house charging privileges? Yes, if you are renting for at least 30 days and credit is established at the time of registration in Administration Office. 9
