so the courses at TV are semi-private by every definition in the book, not "public"
Every semi private course that I've ever known about or worked at had memberships where members could play unlimited golf without additional fees. They also allowed the public to play upon payment of a green fee with restricted starting times. In addition they have events for their members such a tournaments and social events.

I don't consider paying an annual fee for preferred starting times and a slightly reduced green fee a membership.

IMHO, TV courses are public with no real membership. I don't see anything private or semi private about them.
