Data notes & caveats
- The page says 20% off 'greens fees'; it does not say whether the discount also applies to senior/junior rates or to carts.
- Memberships bought online can take up to 72 hours to activate; buy at the course if you play sooner.
- Off-season rates are lower (for example $21 weekday 18 holes at Big Met/Shawnee Hills/Seneca/Ironwood), so the dollar saving per round is smaller then.
