About Tee Time Trader
We’re golfers too, and we understand the frustration of planning the perfect round only to see tee times vanish as quickly as they’re posted. Like you, we’ve watched tee times disappear and tried every trick to secure the perfect slot. We knew there had to be a smarter, fairer way for golfers to get on the course without the stress, so we created TeeTimeTrader—a place to find or share tee times that fit your life, without the hassle.
We take the protection of your personal information very seriously. At TeeTimeTrader, we use advanced technology and secure payment processing to safeguard your data. For detailed information on how we manage and protect your personal information, please refer to our privacy policy.
TeeTimeTrader is not directly affiliated with the golf courses listed on our platform, unless specifically noted on the course page. We are continually working to foster direct relationships with courses to enhance the experience for both golfers and the courses themselves. Additionally, it's important to note that some golf courses are active sellers on TeeTimeTrader, directly offering tee times to our users.
Booking & Billing
At TeeTimeTrader, you can cancel your booking at any time before the tee time is transferred and officially booked in your name. No payment is required until the tee time is booked, ensuring flexibility and peace of mind. If you decide to cancel during this period, you will receive a full refund. If the tee time has already been transferred to you, cancellation options will depend on the specific terms set by the seller. In the event that a tee time is canceled by the course and not rescheduled, we will provide a refund or, depending on state laws, issue a credit for future bookings. For assistance or more information on managing your bookings, please contact our support team at support@teetimetrader.co.
If your tee time was officially canceled by the golf course, TeeTimeTrader will reach out to you with options for your refund. You will be eligible for a full refund of any fees paid for the canceled tee time through our platform. We strive to keep our users informed and supported in case of any such changes to their bookings.
You can cancel your tee time at no cost anytime before it is transferred and booked on TeeTimeTrader. Once the tee time is booked in your name, any cancellations must be managed directly with the golf course. Please note, the transaction fee and the fee paid to the seller are non-refundable, unless the course unexpectedly cancels the tee time, in which case our Buyer Guarantee will provide appropriate remedies.
Selling Tee Times
If your tee time doesn't sell on TeeTimeTrader, you have the option to withdraw it from the marketplace. You can use the tee time yourself, transfer it to a friend, or contact the golf course to cancel it before the course's cancellation window closes. For guidance on transferring or canceling a tee time, please refer to our help section or contact our support team at support@teetimetrader.co.
If you decide not to transfer your tee time on TeeTimeTrader, you will retain ownership of the booking. This means you can use the tee time yourself or try to sell it again. However, if you choose not to transfer and the tee time is not sold or canceled within the course's cancellation window, you will not receive any proceeds from the booking. It's important to manage your listing actively to ensure you don't miss out on potential sales.
Yes, you can sell your tee time to another golfer on TeeTimeTrader. Once you have a tee time booked in your name, you have the option to list it for sale on our platform. This allows other interested golfers to purchase and book the tee time from you. For instructions on how to list and sell your tee time, please visit our help section or contact our support team.

After you sell a tee time on TeeTimeTrader, we will process your payout within 48 hours after the tee time has passed, provided you have added and verified your payout method. It may take up to 5 business days for the funds to appear in your bank account. This timeline ensures that all transactions are completed smoothly and efficiently.
You can list your tee times on TeeTimeTrader for free. When a tee time is sold, we charge a small service fee of 10% to support and maintain our platform. When setting the price for your tee time, the amount you'll receive will be the listed price minus the 10% fee. Our platform provides a clear display of the exact payout you'll receive from the sale before you finalize your listing, ensuring transparency in every transaction.
On TeeTimeTrader, you can sell tee times that are categorized for the general public. However, tee times specifically reserved for seniors, residents, or members often require verification upon arrival at the course. If you list such a tee time, it should be made clear that it is intended for public, non-resident, or non-member use unless the buyer meets the specific criteria. It's ultimately up to the discretion of the golf course to honor any special rates or promotions associated with these categories when the buyer checks in.
