OK, a private golf course is just that---members only
A public course is just that---open to the public for a fee with no restrictions
A semi-private course generally has a membership, is cheaper than a purely private club but allows the public to play with generally some sort of restriction---certain days or tee times, preferred tee times for members, tournaments restricted to members, etc.

So, unlike others, the "Horse's mouth" was not talking trash
