Selecting a Tee Time in the Sandbox

You can search for tee times using one of our many tee time searches. In order to book a tee time in our Sandbox, however, you must search for and select tee times with very specific parameters:

• Search for tee times with the number of players that you intend to book. If you're going to book 1 player, search for tee times that support 1 player.
• Make sure the tee time rate that you intend to book does not have the "RO" rate tag code. This rate tag code identifies a tee time rate as resident-only.

The one's digit of the minute component of the tee time can also determine your ability to book. Review the following table for details:

This means that a tee time at 7:41 AM would be AVAILBLE. A tee time at 9:32 AM would NOT be AVAILABLE. Finally, a tee time at 8:13 AM would be available but NOT BOOKABLE.

There are times when the interface between GolfNow and a golf course may fail. In order to simulate these scenarios, a tee time rate with a price that has a cent value between 91 and 99 inclusive will also fail regardless of the minute component of the tee time. The following table provides details on the error messages that can be returned.

Specifying a Payment Method

Credit Card

The following sample demonstrates how to use a credit card to reserve a tee time.

Saved Credit Card

The following code sample is a basic tee time reservation request using a customer's presaved credit card. In order to reserve a tee time, you must have authenticated the customer and pass in the customer token in the header alone with the request.

Affiliate Payment

The following sample demonstrates how to reserve a tee time using an affiliate payment. Please note the following:

• The PaymentTimeStamp field is meant to track the time of payment processing on the affiliate, and is optional.
• The PaymentAmount field is meant to track the amount the affiliate accepted for the tee time, and is optional.
• The PaymentRefrenceNumber field is meant to store the payment ID as represented in the affiliate's system, and is optional.
• The CustomerBillingZipCode field is used to check residency restrictions on tee times. If the affiliate wants to facilitate the booking of resident-restricted tee times, this field is required; otherwise, it is optional.

Gift Card Payment

The following demonstrates the use of a gift card payment. You must have previously added a gift card to the customer's account (using SavePaymentOption()) before taking advantage of this payment type.

Note that if the customer is a guest, gift cards may be applied as payment options as a part of the PaymentInformation array during the call to AddReservation, as follows.
