In the case of courses like True Blue and Caledonia, they are so popular that, in season, they start on both nines every day. When taking a group there, I always request to start on #1. They will never guarantee it, but, usually accommodate if they can. Unless you're making your reservations far in advance, it's pretty difficult for them as there will already be reservations on the tee sheet.
I do not like starting groups on both nines. The rare times we do it, it's a mess waiting to happen since the first ones off tend to play faster, so when they make their "turn" we're still sending off people on the other nine. For it to work, you need to have a full tee sheet the first two hours and then you have to close the tee sheet for the next two-plus hours and let the early birds know what is happening and encourage them NOT to play speed golf. I'd much rather have a full tee sheet starting on #1 (or #10, but not both).
