I think there is always a window of an hour or so after the shacks close when people could slip on and golf a few holes.
I get the feeling walk-ons are discouraged, perhaps a liability issue?
We certainly wouldn't want a golfer to have a medical problem with no-one around.
Residents at many executive courses are lined up as the starter shack closes so they can play golf. I've seen them. It doesn't appear to me that the "Starter" cared that they were going to play following the closing of the shack. Unless there has been a recent change in policy this happens on a regular basis.

There is approximately just north of an hour of daylight left for golfers as they "slip" on the course to golf.
