I'm not sure what additional amenities you would like to see. At my private course in NY there are 2 tennis courts, no pool, nice bar, mediocre restaurant and decent pro shop. The semi-private courses in the area are generally a golf course, building, possibly with a restaurant that is best described as a tavern menu--no tennis, no pool. When I was a guest at Winged Foot, for example, there were a few more amenities, but the ones they had were of course much nicer. Same was true at Baltusrol, Westchester CC, and Shinnecock to name a few. I find the main advantage of priority membership at TV is the on line reservation system. Yes, the public can play by calling the course same day, but unless you're a single, good luck with that in season.
