booked.golf vs Tee Time Snipe
More courses, a real free tier — and you book it yourself.
Tee Time Snipe's headline trick is a bot that automatically books the open slot for you. booked.golf intentionally doesn't do that: automated booking runs against the terms of service of most tee-sheet and booking platforms, which can get accounts flagged or bookings cancelled. We alert you and hand you a direct link so you book it yourself, the way the course expects. Here's the honest comparison.
What Tee Time Snipe is: An iOS app that scans tee sheets and automatically books the open slot for you (“snipe & book”), across the US and Canada.

| Alert delivery | SMS, email, and push — within seconds of a slot opening | In-app, auto-scan |
| Add a missing course | Request any course we don't cover yet — free | Any course with online booking it can scan |
Tee Time Snipe's headline feature is automatic booking — a bot that books the open slot for you. We intentionally don't do that: automated booking runs against the terms of service of most tee-sheet and booking platforms, and it can get accounts flagged or bookings cancelled. booked.golf alerts you and hands you a direct link so you book it yourself, the way the course expects. Where we also lead: a far larger monitored catalog (thousands of courses vs Snipe's “hundreds”) and a genuinely free tier instead of a 7-day trial.
