Different rates for morning, afternoon, and evening are because of differences in demand for the different times of the day, as well as increased likelihood of thunder and lightning as the day progresses during the hotter months. Ten out of the thirteen courses have identical rates, my guess regarding the other three courses are as follows. Orange Blossom has the cheapest rates because it’s the original course and is viewed by many as a lesser quality course and therefore has less demand. Hacienda Hills also has cheaper rates, falling between Orange Blossom and the other courses. I would guess the discounted rates are also because of lesser demand, most likely because the clubhouse and restaurant have been torn down and there are several other Championship golfing options in the area with full facilities. Southern Oaks is the third course, which charges a premium versus all 12 of the other courses. Given that the course offers nothing special versus the other courses, does not have a clubhouse or restaurant, and plays along the turnpike, the fact that it is the only game in town south of 44 is the only logical reason for its premium price.
