Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe "non-members" in TV can book tee times. Have to be a guest or a property owner. So the definition cited doesn't hold true.
All that aside, TV courses may not be anything special in terms of architectural design or difficulty, compared to the tracks usually cited in those polls, but playing them is enough of a challenge for me, and they don't bust my budget.

Anyone, yes ANYONE (properly dressed with a green fee) can play the championship courses. Resident or guest ID is required to play the execs.
I have met some residents over the years, on the putting and chipping greens, that were of the opinion I was not allowed to use the practice facility nor play the championship courses (back before I was a resident). A few stormed off to the starter shack, to have me removed I assume. Funny, they never returned. I do think there may be some salesmen out there selling homes and inflating the level of self importance gained by becoming a resident of TV, considering the level of indignation some of these 'gentlemen' expressed at my presence. Wish I could go back in time and see how many of those guys had a horrible short game. Jealousy can make people do some ugly things.
