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.

Easier tee times and what..7 bucks off? Pretty lame imo. Never had trouble getting a tee time at a championship course in season or out, but then I play mostly off campus in 'season'. TV courses are tramped to death,
