If you have access to courses that don't mind your playing multiple balls or as many holes as you want for a single fee, God bless you--and send me the address.:)

Veleogut - I'm pretty lucky. I can play a local 9-hole layout - adjacent to a private CC in Central NJ. Its a par 33, with 6 par 4's, and 3 par 3's. A couple of the par 4's are 400+ yards, and the par 3's are all over 160 yds. All in all, not a bad place to play, or practice.
You pay one fee and play all day. After a nominal membership fee (less than $100) it costs $13 on weekdays and $15 weekends, less if you're a senior citizen.
During the week, when its not crowded you can go out as a single, play as many balls as you like, and no one will bother you. Play 9 in the morning, go home for lunch, play nine in the afternoon, home for dinner, play nine in the early evening. And their greens are maintained by the private CC and are some of the best around.
