Why don’t all courses have a “Book Tee Time” button?
Online booking in the Youth on Course app runs through GolfNow, and only some courses offer it. If a course has no Book Tee Time button or never appears in Tee Time Search, it doesn’t take online booking through the app. Online booking is only available in Youth on Course Guardian accounts.
Why can’t I book every course online?
Online booking is only available at courses that offer their tee times through GolfNow. Many Youth on Course partner courses don’t, and most partners prefer that members call the course directly to book during the Youth on Course playing times listed in the Course Directory.
A missing Book Tee Time button doesn’t mean you can’t play there. It means you need to book a different way.
Is the course not bookable online, or just showing no tee times?
These look similar but mean different things:
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No Book Tee Time button in "places to play", or the course never appears in Tee Time Search | The course doesn’t offer online booking through the app | Check the Course Directory for its booking instructions, usually calling the course |
| The course offers online booking but no tee times appear | No open tee times match your date, time of day, players or search radius, or the course is fully booked | Change your filters, such as another date, a different time of day, fewer players or a larger radius, or call the course |
Where do I find booking instructions for a course?
Use the Course Directory (Places to Play on the app home screen) to:
- See Youth on Course playing availability at each partner course
- Find course-specific booking instructions
- Explore the full Youth on Course partner network
We always recommend calling ahead to confirm availability and the Youth on Course rate.
Who can book tee times online?
- Youth on Course Guardian accounts can book tee times in the app.
- Youth on Course member app accounts can’t book through GolfNow. Members should ask a parent or guardian to book for them.
- GolfNow accounts are only for adults 18 and older. At checkout, the parent or guardian signs in with their own GOLF ID (GolfNow) account, which is separate from their Youth on Course login.

Does Tee Time Search show every Youth on Course course?
No. Tee Time Search only shows courses that offer online booking and have open tee times. It’s not the full Course Directory. It also shows all available rates, not just Youth on Course rates, and may include some courses outside the Youth on Course partner network.
Why doesn’t my course have a Book Tee Time button?
The course doesn’t offer online booking through the app. Check the Course Directory for how to book, which usually means calling the course.
Why is a course showing no tee times?
No open tee times match your search. Try a different date, time of day, number of players or search radius.
Can I book tee times in the member app?
No. Only Youth on Course Guardian accounts can book online.
Can a member under 18 book a tee time?
Not online. A parent or guardian books with their own Guardian account and GolfNow account. Members can still call partner courses to book according to the Course Directory.
What’s the best way to book at most partner courses?
Call the course during the Youth on Course playing times listed in the Course Directory.
