At most courses, the unlimited play evening rate for a non priority resident is $20, but they will only charge $10 if you only go out for 9 holes. The unlimited rate is a great deal during the summer months when it gets dark out at 8:00 or later, typical evening thunderstorms aside.

During the months of January through May, there is no difference in AM or PM wave rates, and the evening rates (after the PM wave) are half the wave rate and includes unlimited play. Until the clocks are moved forward in March, it’s very difficult to get in more than 9 holes after the PM wave concludes. At least that’s how the rates during busy season worked this year. We should find out sometime in the next week or so what the busy season rates will be starting January 1st, 2023. Fingers crossed that non priority resident rates will remain close to the $64 charged at most courses during the 2022 busy season. Stay tuned, new rates are typically released in the middle of the month before the new rates become effective.
That is exactly how I understood the rates to work. I just checked my Debit Card Receipt from tonight and I was charged the full $17 rate (I'm an EM). (4) different people at Mallory Hills, confirmed the Starter's opinion, that I was only entitled to play 9 Holes, without paying an additional $17.

Thanks for the thoughtful response ... I love when I'm right 😂

We'll see what the say when I call the Golf Office in the morning.
