Golf TeeTime Booking Link

    I have a difficulty with the GetBookingLink call. It consistently works if I ask for a cart, but it never works if there is no cart. The example I give below is for the course at Alderbrook Golf Club, which is course id 1167, and has an optional cart policy. For the tee time at 12:27 on Sun, Nov 9, the verified teetime has a sellForWalking of $40 and sellForRiding of $54. The cartFee is $14 as expected.

    The booking link with cart is http://www.tantracking.com/click.track?CID=178856&AFID=279398&AffiliateReferenceID=-279398&nonencodedurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.activegolf.com%2Fcheckout%2Faddteetime%3FCourseId%3D1167%26Date%3D2014-11-09%26TeeTime%3D12%3A27%26Players%3D2%26Rate%3D54.00%26utm_source%3DMashery%20LIVE%26utm_medium%3Dapi%26utm_campaign%3Dapi-addteetime%26cmp=39-21--279398

    and that goes to the active golf confirm checkout page with the correct rate of $54.

    and as far as I can see this is identical to the link with cart apart from the rate of $40. However, this link just goes to the active golf general web site for the course: http://www.activegolf.com/golf-courses/alderbrook-golf-club/889. However, on that general web site, I can book that tee time, and it goes to the confirm checkout page and shows the correct rate of $40.

    I have tried putting in incorrect price, say $11.11 to request the booking link, and I still get the same booking link with the incorrect price. This surprises me as it the documentation says the booking rate will be validated.

    Can you please help me to understand why the booking link with no cart does not work, and why I still receive a valid looking booking link even when I request it with an invalid rate?
