Rhodes Ranch was my home course the last year of high school. I used to be there everyday for free in those days.
The course is still in great shape and the prices are very reasonable for locals. They are offering an introductory monthly club $29/month. The times change with the season but with this membership you get free range access and can play the front nine for only $15 after 4p. Every round includes 2 beers (they have Blue Moon and Sam Adams on draft!). Also with this membership, if you tee off before 7a, you can play the back nine for $15 and get free breakfast (any breakfast item on the menu except the steak and eggs).
If you do not want to pay a monthly fee, make sure to sign up for the E-club. They send e-mails with great deals throughout the week sometimes as low as $25 for 18 holes with a cart and 2 beers.
The course management is a little iffy due to the fact that during twilight there are many players that take advantage of the great deals. It can be frustrating that a slow foursome is not asked to increase their pace when there is minimal sunlight left. However, the staff is very friendly.
The course itself is a great confidence booster. There are difficult holes but overall not much trouble to get into.
