Why not both?
Seriously though, you can play some truly awesome desert courses in the summer for a small fraction of what they cost this time of year if you're willing to tolerate the heat, and they're also a lot less crowded. While winter is the offseason for much of the country, summer is offseason for the desert.

The public course that I belong to has a $99 walking membership. A lot of courses in the area also offer memberships for $200-400 and you then pay $20ish each round you play, typically with a cart included.

Much the same here. My buddy was in the Air Force, and then the Reserves. When they'd go on active duty for 2 weeks in the summer, wherever they were sent, the regular Air Force guys didn't want them touching anything! They'd go play basketball or golf! Said some of the courses he played were amazing!
If you want to really save money on golf, just move to NE Ohio or western PA! J/K! But the prices are quite reasonable around here. I've heard more than one person remark on how affordable our golf is.
But, I use Golfnow, the hot deals are limited but you can make them work sometimes. Occasionally my buddy will inform me of a tee time, and will text that I owe his Sister X amount of money. That means she bought the round on Groupon. Plus, we are all retired seniors, and we get the senior discount playing on a weekday. Also in this area, we have the "My Loop Discount Golf Card". This gives you discounts at about a dozen local courses, but there are 2 versions of the card. So double that! These cost $25 a year, and are good for one use per course. Then last year they brought out the black card which costs $100, and is good for unlimited use!
There's all kinds of way to save money depending on where you live.

We have had some great feedback here. Quite often there are local discount programs thru service programs where you buy the service/card and then discounts apply at all member courses. Thank you everyone for stepping in and sharing your program. The best way I have encountered is to become a rater. There are numerous ways to do this. You'll have to dig into this and figure it out. Those programs require applications and acceptance via the hierarchy of the organization. Some are via private organizations and some are thru the golf organizations.

I just remembered something. In this area there is something called the "Penn-Ohio Golf Trail". I never knew about them until last year, when i spotted one of their catalogs in a formerly private club we were playing that has gone public. They can get you on places that you might not normally be able to access. I'll be checking them out, since they have several places on their roster that I and my buddies really want to play!

Great River one of my faves....Way back when when they first opened....They would take EZLinks....And EZLinks had a way that you could offer deals to buy the 4some. They would reject low ball bids and freeze you out for a day or two....But as I didn't have a specific need immediately...I would go in and bid low and keep increasing it...Then I found the magic number....They were charging 125 a head and I hit a winner at like 72 a head. Played there often the first 5 years it opened. Haven't been back in about 4 years. Time to make a return...As you are in Milford. How's the place doing under Sacred Heart?

We play nicer courses during the winter and migrate to the goat pastures in the summer, that also helps with pace of play.

Nothing like that in my area. Most of the courses near me are pretty cheap if you walk. I usually just wait for @Snickerdog @shanewu to text me with where we're playing that weekend, and if I don't have my kids or plans....that's where I play.

Play ACCC and Ballamor every year, They are very nice. Scotland Run is a little out of way of our annual AC Trip but have played it a few times. My son is member at Little Mill and get there a few times a year.
We need to make that happen again soon! What's your temperature threshold?Nothing like that in my area. Most of the courses near me are pretty cheap if you walk.

The guys I usually golf with are all fast anyway, but during the summer there's definitely no dilly-dallying! If the course is wide open we can easily finish in under 3 hours as a foursome.And you can play 18 in 2.5 hours with a fast cart
Ha, in MD, the only way you save money, is by playing weekdays, or twilight.
Some places have bulk round packages, but that just usually comes out to the weekday, or twilight rate.
On top of that, there are a bunch of mediocre courses, that are really proud of themselves, and charge far more than they're worth.

Oh, I'm well aware.
But with a 2 year old, and no time on weekdays for anything. My play happens on weekends. And, where I like to play, is usually at a minimum a 45min drive. Hot deals, usually don't fall in a time slot that's worth it for me.
