The Rail Golf Club

Pros: Great layout with 3.5 hr. rounds early on weekdays and $25 fees.
Cons: Weekend pace of play can be slow -- circa 5 hrs.

A Robert Trent Jones layout for $25!! (Senior rate -- includes cart on weekdays.)
A semi-private course that has hosted the State Farm LPGA Labor Day Classic for over 30 years. Interesting layout, some water, bunkers galore and big undulating greens means the course can play as easy or tough as the early-morning pin setter chooses.
Visitors from Chicago and Phoenix say this quality of course would be $80 or more. Standard $43 rate is still a real bargain with weekends a bit higher.
