Default Marsh Bend Pitch & Putt

Coming down to the villages next week to look around and wanted to play the pitch & putt course with the wife. Do you need tee times to play? If so, are they hard to get? Thanks for any info!

Yes, you need a tee time. They should not be hard to get. They rent carry bags as it is a walking course. Holes vary from about 40 yards to 110. It is a nice 18 hole walk.

Pitch & Putt did not require a time when we played last week. First come, first serve.

It is no different than any other course in TV, tee times are required. You can call the starter shack and see if they have any cancellations the day of play. Do you feel lucky? Well do ya? 352-751-7788

This is not really correct. It is not first gone first served. P&P uses The Villages golf reservation system. However, like all courses here, if a tee time is not booked, you can walk on. Now that season is winding down, that is easier to do, especially P&P.

You don't say if you are visiting friends or renting. Keep in mind, that course is a part of the Executive amenity courses and requires an ID to play.

If you are on a lifestyle visit just ask your guest coordinator or sales agent to book a tee time.

FYI the pitch and putt course is labeled "marshview" in the online Tee Time reservation system. It resides under the executive golf course category. It does not use the words pitch and putt and "marshview" is one word. Other areas refer to it as Marshview with a capital M or Marsh View two words and even Marshview pitch and putt.

Whenever I have looked there were plenty of open tee times, even during high season (Jan to March)

I would advise you to practice hitting off of a sand filled artificial turf mat.
It's harder than I thought. Mats are packed down and the club needs to hit just right. Some people put a tee in the grass. It's great fun.

My bad. I was thinking Putt and Play, which is run by the Rec. Center. That is first come, first serve.
Pitch and Putt does require a time.

If you want to play at a certain time you need a tee time. With the snowbirds leaving its getting easier.

Thanks all for the info! We are renting house for the week which includes a guest pass. We’ll need the pass # to make tee times, so we’ll have to wait until we arrive. Thanks again!

Bad info. You have to make a tee time unless you walk up @ 6:00 pm or later.
