Curiously, that rate doesn't begin until 3:00 pm right now (when it's really of little or no value, due to darkness).
The problem is that the rates are based on two seasons that significantly overlap some of both the shortest and longest days of the year. They used to have three seasons with different rates, busy season, shoulder season, and slow season. That made more sense in my opinion.

The after 3:00 rate is of little value for December but makes sense in June, and they both are part of the same rate sheet. The after 2:00 rate in January is very appropriate given how short the days are (and how expensive full rates are during that time), and gives golfers a chance to get in a round later in the day at a decent price in late May when the courses are practically empty. Check out availability of tee times in the afternoon in late May. Before 2:00 there are lots and lots of open times. Between 2:00 and 3:00 they are packed.
