The issue of tee time brokering at public golf courses in Los Angeles, where brokers sold coveted slots, led to public complaints over accessibility. Following social media exposure, the Department of Recreation and Parks responded with a pilot program requiring a $10 fee per person for reservations. This initiative, though initially met with skepticism, has reportedly improved access to tee times, as affirmed by golfers and park officials. Players noted that while booking is still challenging, it has become more manageable compared to previous years, highlighting the program's effectiveness.
"I didn't think charging a $10 fee would make a difference, but it certainly did," said Reggie Kenner, 77... "Now, you can occasionally get on at a decent time on courses you could never book before."
"It's still hard, but that's natural because a lot of players like golfing on the weekend," said Jongseo Joseph Lee... "I can say it's way better than recent years."
