Quick answer
When does a golf tee time booking window open?
The course sets the rule. Subtract its published days-ahead value from the play date, then use the opening time in the course's local timezone. Recheck membership privileges and seasonal changes before relying on the result.
FairwayBooker product guidance ·
Work backward from the course's official release rule.
A useful release plan needs four facts: the play date, how many days ahead the course opens, the opening time, and the course's local timezone. Membership tiers can change any of them.
Calculate the opening date
Subtract the allowed days-ahead value from the desired play date, then keep the opening clock time in the course's timezone.
Prepare a range
Record an ideal window, acceptable backup windows, player count, and holes before inventory appears.

When should I be ready to book?
Enter the rule published by your course. The calculator works backward from your play date and keeps the result in the course's local time.
Always confirm the official course policy, membership tier, timezone, and seasonal changes before relying on this result.
Worked release-window examples.
The calculation uses calendar days and the course-local clock. The equivalent UTC time can change when daylight saving starts or ends.
Seven days ahead
For play on Saturday, August 22 at a course opening seven days ahead at 7:00 AM Atlantic, be ready Saturday, August 15 at 7:00 AM Atlantic.
Member and public windows
If members receive seven days and public players receive five, calculate each separately. The account privilege determines which date applies.
Across a DST change
Keep the published opening time in the course timezone. The calculator shows the UTC offset and flags when it differs from the play date.

Common questions.
Answers about course support, setup and automatic booking.
- Can FairwayBooker help with tee time release windows?
- FairwayBooker can help with tee time release windows on one of the supported Chronogolf, Tee-On, GolfNow Business, or legacy GolfNow-powered member booking flows. Check your course and account, choose your time range and players, then schedule an automatic booking attempt for when tee times open. Availability is not guaranteed.
- When do tee times open for booking?
- Each course sets its own opening time and how many days ahead you can book. Your membership, season and day of play may change that rule. Check the course’s official policy or your signed-in booking page, then use the calculator below.
- How far in advance can I book a tee time?
- Your course and membership determine how far ahead you can book. FairwayBooker schedules around that rule; it does not unlock earlier access. Have your play date, opening time, group and acceptable tee-time range ready before booking opens.
- How do I prepare for a tee time release window?
- Confirm how many days ahead your course opens booking, the local opening time and your membership permissions. Choose your play date, time range, players and holes, then schedule the attempt before that opening time.
