End of February is just the beginning of prime season for golf down there so great deals will be hard to come by, especially the "must play" ones. The latter starts at your high $50 ++ so your choices could be limited. Someone like "knightgolf"...

Any recommendations on a good value course or a mid-priced golf course (less than 100) that you would recommend in the Orange County, CA area? I have 3 days during the week and my selection list is the following: San Clemente Municipal Oak Quarry (Riverside) Talega Black Gold (yorba linda) I am also considering going down to Barona Creek

Ive never played Black Gold but went there for a clinic and it looked pretty awesome. Ive never really ventured out there to golf so I cant help you too much. Here is a good list of the courses in the OC. http://www.greenskeeper.org/southern...f_courses/#top Ive heard good things about Eagle Glen as well if you feel like driving out to Corona.

You might want to consider Aliso Creek GC. I played there yesterday for the first time and had a great outing. Its a 9 hole course but just play it twice haha. Its 35.00 per person to play 9 with a 30.00 replay if you want to do 18 holes. Cart rental 15.00 but the course is easily walked so no real need to rent a cart. Its off of PCH in Laguna Beach

So I ended up playing a full 18 at Mesquite Golf and Country Club... got a great rate on golfnow.com... it was an ok course... looked nice, but very flat, very wide open... not very challenging, but that was a good start because my GF is not really comfortable yet on the course and the starter let us go out as a twosome for this reason.... the greens were really hard and the water didn't really come into play on most holes, but it was fun...

Another option on the East coast besides Myrtle Beach, is Ocean City Maryland. There are some really nice courses there, and for the most part rounds can be had for reasonable rates. Here is a taste of some of the course offerings. I've played River Run, Eagles Landing, and OC Club's Newport Bay course. All three were solid offerings.
