Tee Time Snipe solves the problem of getting a tee time when all reservations are booked. You specify when, where, and how many people want to play. You get notified when someone cancels so you can jump in and reserve it. Why its hard to get a tee time Golf courses give banks of tee times time to golf clubs, large groups, leagues and local schools that end up going unused and result in no shows leaving golfers like you unable to play. Here’s how it works: 1) Tell us where, when, what times, and how many players want to play. 2) We continuously track the tee times from the course you selected. 3) The second we see a match, we text or email you with the slot that opened up. 4) You quickly jump in and reserve it. https://teetimesnipe.com/terms https://teetimesnipe.com/privacy

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Tee Time Snipe at none against Open Course's shown. Tee Time Snipe also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). Open Course's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 75%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tee Time Snipe sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.00 per month and Open Course sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Tee Time Snipe holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Open Course has 41 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Tee Time Snipe's written reviews are positive against 100% of Open Course's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Tee Time Snipe ships an update every 5 weeks, Open Course weekly. The most recent releases landed on August 24, 2026 and September 1, 2026 respectively.
