Default $6 Evening Golf

Having paid over $700 for a priority membership, the cheap evening golf bothers me. It cheapens my membership as residents without one are allowed to play cheaper than me. If I play at 4 PM, it costs me $16-21 to play 18 but if I wait until 5 PM I can play for $6 and most likely still get in 18 holes.
I am also bothered by the fact that there are a bunch of "executive" course players out there taking advantage of the cheap situation. As mentioned by Taj, many of them know little of course etiquette and taking care of the course. How can I make this statement? Just play an exec course and see how many ball marks are fixed or traps are raked for example.
If conditions don't improve soon on our courses, I am going to be visiting off-Villages course more often.
