We have two holes where there is two separate tee boxes , #1 (a par 5) and #17 (a par 3). It's set up so there are five different tee boxes (on most of the other holes, there are 4 tee boxes - some of the par threes have only three distinct tee boxes), and on the scorecard it shows the regular tees with two different yardages (so those tees can be up or back). from time to time I have seen the "senior" tees moved back from their normal spot onto that tee box.

I can't say I've seen an alternate tee box up a hill.

It's one thing to move the tees to different boxes from day to day, but what Diane is talking about is having like 2 red tee boxes on the same hole the same day and you get your choice of which to use. That just isn't a proper setup under the Rules. I guess it's acceptable for casual play, but if I was in a small private competition with 5 or 6 foursomes and came to that hole, how do I decide to play it to be sure that everyone in the comp plays the same course?

You see what I mean... the Rules of Golf don't like that sort of option. It creates too much room for controversy.
