Playing the championships from May 1st through Oct 15th after 11am is only $20 or $21 and $24 at Palmer. The Priority will only save you just $3 off of that rate during those months. So if you want a Priority Membership, you might go with a six month membership. I did that the first year I was here. You can also do a menu type membership, you can select 2, 3 or 4 courses if they are the ones you'll be playing most. So a priority membership has many levels, and you also get credited for trail fees on the executives while you're a priority member.
We always play after 11am because I'm not a morning person, I don't like dew on the grass, and I like the cheaper green fees. Due to the wave system, afternoon teetimes start at 11:56, but there are usually open teetimes from 12:30 to 1:30 at just about any championship course during the summer months. That's a good reason to pay the $8 and get with the teetime system. Making a reservation 7 days in advance is not really necessary unless it's the snowbird season Jan-Apr.
